Ada help file indexed by keyword
in [ADA]
|
From: Manuel Collado on 21 Apr 2010 04:03 I'm looking for an Ada95/2005 help or reference document indexed by keyword (reserved word or standard library identifier). The purpose is to integrate it into an academic IDE, so it should be possible to put the cursor in the editing window over a meaningful word, and invoke help about it. So far I've found the ARM in several formats, but none of them can be accessed as described. There is also the Ada wikibook, that also lacks the required feature. Even GNAT/GPS seems to lack it. Any common hiperlinked format is acceptable: WinHelp, HTML (local or www), PDF, TexInfo, etc.. Does anybody knows if there exist such help system for Ada? Thanks in advance. -- Manuel Collado - http://lml.ls.fi.upm.es/~mcollado

The book authors have made templates that, if used, will make, e.g., a reserved word into a link to a pages with info about the word. There are some programs and editor macro files (Vim and Emacs) to help with automatic addition of such. These are mentioned on the wikibook authors' pages (in wikibook.org). One of these programs is the following. I should prepare an update, though, for some new wikibook template syntax. http://home.arcor.de/bauhaus/Tools/ASnip/

It seems to me the RMs linked from AdaIC are available in HTML format, with hyperlink indices.
