New video tutorial released: Gerph - Create and Maintain RISC OS Documentation using XML

Hi everyone,
new video tutorial released on how to use Geprh’s tool to produce and maintain RISC OS PRM-style documentation using XML for both documenting RISC OS features or our own Apps. It’s a fantastic tool that runs on multiple OSes and can also be used for documentation automation!

And this video also opens a new playlist of tutorials dedicated to Open Tools for RISC OS (tools available in source form), so if you wish to produce a tutorial video to document your own open tool please let me know and I’ll edit as I did for Gerph’s one.

It’s important we keep documenting as much as we can, so thanks in advance :)

IF you’re interested in the background to PRMinXML there’s more information here: https://www.iconbar.com/articles/RISC_OS_Documentation/index1700.html

And you can find examples of the PRMinXML format in the GitHub repositories: https://github.com/topics/prminxml

For example, a PDF example of the staging documentation can be found here: https://github.com/gerph/riscos-prminxml-staging/releases/download/v2023-03-18/PRMinXML-Staging-v2023-03-18.pdf

Please feel free to drop me an email if you’re interested in more details, etc… gerph@gerph.org as usual.

Said video demonstrates the setup of PRM-in-XML on macOS, and says it works on Linux and RISC OS. After a tweak from Charles, it certainly does run on RISC OS (imx6/RO5, Pi400/RO5 and RPCEmu/RO3 here). Obtaining the downloads from GitHub needs Iris rather than Netsurf.
