Joomla Manual

[ceford]

I have put together a component to display documentation pages in manual format. This is a screenshot:

My motivation is that I need to write some documentation for a private custom component for which I already use a private Mediawiki server to deliver Help pages. As a proof of concept I have created something that can work for Joomla 3 or Joomla 4 or something else. This is what I did to get started:

• Created a list of all Joomla pages tagged as J3.x, initially in alpha order.
• Manually removed irrelevant articles and started classification of others, rather like chapters and subheadings in a book.
• The list is just another article on the document server. It still needs a lot of work.
• Ditto for Joomla 4.

The layout I prefer is similar to Bootstrap and django: Index to the left, Content in the middle, In this page to the right.

So I am wondering how others might regard this development. With some encouragement I might put effort into revising Joomla documentation for Joomla 4. Or I might start with that private component I mentioned.

The Joomla Manual component is available here:
