Question: another reference c++ website to crawl? #23

Closed garaud closed 9 years ago

Hi,

I find your cppman very very useful, so congrat !

I know that the website which is crawled to obtain these manpages is http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

I don't why but I often take some info on the Wiki http://en.cppreference.com/w/ website. It's not clear for me the difference between these two resources. Unless a few searches, I do not find anything.

I wonder why you decided to crawl cplusplus website for cppman: easier to crawl, more useful resources, ... ? Is there a chance to change the resource to cppreference to produce c++ manpages?

Let me know if you have more explanation about the difference about these two websites or even if you have a personal point of view.

Thanks, Damien G.

Hi garaud,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually planning to add cppreference as an alternative backend. The reason that I choose cplusplus.com is because that I used to use cplusplus.com as my main reference website. It's just my personal preference. But I think adding cppreference will be a very good idea.
