Erlang Documentation Viewer

October 13th, 2008 by Martin

Well, I want to announce a new viewer for Erlang documentation. Yes I know that it is nothing revolutionary and innovative, but I am Erlang user and Erlang documentation in its current version is not very user friendly (It is not only my opinion ). Because I am working on an experimental Erlang web framework based on Ext JS – ErlExtUI, I realized why not do some user sample application for this purpose and shot two flies with one bullet.   Please note that it is work in progress, so if you find any problem or want some new feature, feel free to contact me. And now finally URL – http://erloid.wiso.cz/samples/documentation/.

Features

• modules browsing/tabs
• module name filter
• Google powered module search

Happy using

Documentation Erlang ErlExtUI Ext

   heru: yes I can not agree more with you. I have to say that I was thinking about kind of announcement to Erlang community, but decided to wait for better version of my documentation viewer. Also framework, that this documentation sample is build on is still under development.
   On the other hand, documentation covers only modules and there is a lot of other documentation pages like OTP for example and these are not covered by my viewer. But again I agree, it is realy essencial to have fast and easy access to documentation for any language!
