Conventions for the names of files |
Most documentation should be organized as a function of the topic in a directory tree. The subdirectories of the top directory are the following:
Please try to keep the number of entries per directory reasonably small.
File names in the main directory should be of the form type-name.language.tm. In the other directories, they are of the form name.language.tm. Here type is a major indication for the type of documentation; it should be one of the following:
You should try to keep the documentation on the same topic together, regardless of the type. Indeed, this allows you to find more easily all existing documentation on a particular topic. Also, it may happen that you want to include some documentation which was initially meant for the tutorial in the manual. The language in which is the documentation has been written should be a two letter code like en, fr, etc. The main name of your file should be the same for the translations in other languages. For instance, man-keyboard.en.tm should not be translated as man-clavier.fr.tm.
