Description Pekka Paalanen 2014-09-03 10:23:24 UTC
We could generate the documentation from XML files better.

An example is here: http://people.collabora.com/~jonny/protocol/
It has been generated with: https://github.com/jonnylamb/wayland-docs

Especially the cross-references are an excellent feature.

If we are happy with a Python dependency, we should import the generator and integrate it to the big docs both build and content/style wise.

We do at least have cross-references, though they aren't great. The website in general probably needs some help.
