============================================== Navidoc - linking documentations via imagemaps ============================================== *Asko Soukka and Tuukka Hastrup* http://www.nongnu.org/navidoc/ "A software engineering documentation tool using ReST and providing multidirectionally hyperlinked UML diagrams." We present a navigational aid for documentation used in software development. Based on using readily-authored UML diagrams as multi-ended links, we hypertexturally connect two distinct areas of documentation: design documents and documentations generated from embedded program code documentations (using tools like Javadoc and Doc++). We also describe the lightweight implementation as a supplement to a Free Software toolchain. To achieve bi-directional linking, the implementation after-treats HTML pages generated by other tools, injecting into referred pages links back to the referring imagemap of each UML diagram. Each diagram also servers as a spatial context for navigation within target nodes.
