When editing the manual, please use GIF or PNG files for all screenshots. Do not use JPG, as this is a lossy file format.
Line 7: Line 5:
To modify the manual, edit the document in Microsoft Word and check it back in to CVS. Someone (maybe it will be you!) will create a PDF from this Word document near release time for distribution. When creating a manual for a new version, the manual from the pervious version should be copied to a new page. This is so we can keep old versions of the manual for those using older versions of Cytoscape.
Line 9: Line 7:
We are considering moving to a more cross-platform and manageable solution to user documentation. One option is [http://docbook.org DocBook], however, as of late 2005 it appears that GUI DocBook editors, a requirement for us, are somewhat limited. If you are aware of other options, let us know.

 * ["/Learn about DocBook"]
 * ["/DocBook GUI editor"]

Another possibility is to use HTML (for this one, there is a high number of editors) and use [http://htmldoc.org/ htmldoc] to convert to PDF. This has the advantage of letting users to consult the manual direct from the Cytoscape website.
During the release process, the page will be automatically converted to DocBook format and then to various other formats, like PDF and Java Help
