| Mar 25, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | QuantumDot | @Szabolcs Indeed, retaining backwards compatibility with pervious versions (up through at least v8.0.4) while updating the style to v11.1 documentation is exactly what I'm looking for. | |
| Mar 25, 2017 at 19:35 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @QuantumDot What I am doing here is just a minor aesthetic improvement for my documentation in 11.1, without breaking it in 11.0. The only serious usability issue was the missing group openers on the section headings. I could fix these with a stylesheet modification. The rest is only about aesthetics. I thought of asking more question about this topic, but I would like to wait for 11.1.1 (if there will be one), there might very well be some improvements. Perhaps they'll also release a Workbench update by then. | |
| Mar 25, 2017 at 19:32 | comment | added | Szabolcs | I also think (again not sure) that the doc tools they released with Workbench are primarily made for internal use, and are released (without too much polish) only because so many of us were asking for them. Put perhaps the priority is still on internal use, i.e. having it work with 11.1 only (and not 11.0 or earlier). In the letters I wrote to support I emphasized multiple times that for me it is very important that whatever doc tools they release, they should work well at least back to v10.0. I would rather have usable but ugly doc pages in 11.1 than have unusable pages in 11.0. | |
| Mar 25, 2017 at 19:30 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @QuantumDot The problem is keeping the pages compatible with earlier versions. This is very important for those of us who create packages. But I think (I am not sure) that Wolfram's internal documentation tools are designed to produce pages only for the current version. Those pages would not work correctly in previous versions. At one point they accidentally released a WB update that included some of the new 11.1 styles (though they were unfinished). The documents generated with it did not work in 11.0 (they did partially work in the 11.1 prerelease I had at the time). | |

| Mar 25, 2017 at 13:58 | comment | added | QuantumDot | I like this question. More generally, I'd very much like to update my documentation pages to reflect the style of v11.1. I'm hoping to ask a question about something more comprehensive, like @jkuczm 's WWBCommon project. Are you working on something similar? | |
