Description (last modified by Jukka Rahkonen)

Just found another link error.  This is specifically for the installed docs, though.  The main GDAL index page is setup for the website file organization:

www.gdal.org
    index.html [main GDAL index]
    ogr
        index.html [main OGR index]

But with a built GDAL the docs are installed in separate gdal and ogr dirs.

doc
    gdal
        index.html [main GDAL index]
    ogr
        index.html [main OGR index]

The OGR link from the GDAL index page is a relative "ogr", so it looks for the ogr dir in the gdal dir.  And the GDAL link on the OGR index page is the full URL to www.gdal.org, which takes a user out of the local documentation.

I don't think I had the problem in the past, but it's there in 1.3.2 as well as the CVS from a few days ago.

William, 

The local GDAL and OGR docs were never really intended to be navigable. 
However, it seems it wouldn't be too hard to change things to build
the OGR docs in gdal/html/ogr, but I'll need to update the various build
scripts on www.gdal.org, www.remotesensing.org and gdal.maptools.org at the
same time. 

I'm going to put this off till I'm feeling a bit less stressed.

Ah, I didn't realize.  Probably why it's not in the default make target ^_^  Html docs are nice, so for now I think I'll fix those two links in my installed docs in my framework, and wait until you can get to this.

Frank has felt stressed for eight last years ;) Is this still something that feels important or should it be labeled as won'tfix? Or is it perhaps fixed in some other way meanwhile?

Resolution: wontfix
Status: assignedclosed

Yes, I guess that at some point people will want to convert into rst format or whatever instead of plain html docs
