Description
API_Listing dumps information about all of the OOF2 menu items and their parameters to a file. It's mostly used for generating the documentation that you're reading now, but it may also be useful for creating external drivers for OOF2.
             The filename parameter specifies the file to
             which the listing will be written. Any existing file of the same
             name will be overwritten.
           
      
             The format parameter determines whether the
             file will be written as plain text or in XML format.  The XML
             listing is more complete, but less readable without some further
             processing.  The best way of reading the XML output is to read the
             manual, which you're doing now.
           
      
             The XML output assumes the DocBook DTD.  It also assumes the existence of
             a large number of external files containing the verbose descriptions of
             the commands and other OOF2 objects.  Anyone who wishes to
             generate the manual themselves can acquire these files by sending
             e-mail to <[email protected]>.
