Hello:

I found some small mistakes in FPC documentation, for example in the Reference Guide. How can I
obtain the sources of the PDF files to correct them?

Report the mistakes as the errors in the bug repository. The author of the document (Michael van Canneyt) will then correct them.

Hi Antonio,

You should probably download and install the latest source tree. Look in the docs directory. All documentation is in LaTex format, which is suprsingly easy to read and modify. Just look for the .tex files. The Reference Guide is in the file ref.tex To build the PDF documentation, just do a "make pdf" in the docs directory, on Linux anyway.

The author of most of the docs is Michael Van Canneyt and he is pretty active on the lists. I am doing a little work on the user.tex documentation while I look for a job. Unfortunately I had to reinstall Linux for a temporary web programming job and haven't had the chance to get FP up on the new install.

All the best
Ken

Thanks, I will write them out and send to you. Anyway, I didn't read the full documentation yet but
I found a lot of mistakes in the first pages, maybe it would be faster if I correct them myself,
using CVS, as Ken said. BTW have you considered to upload the sources to FPC wiki? That would be a
fast way to correct and improve the docs, and you can see easily what changes people did.

Regards,

Antonio Regidor Garcia
