Hello Simon, everyone!
I don't think I have to explain the state of HarfBuzz documentation!
Fortunately Simon has stepped up to put a user manual together. Yay! Thanks
Simon!
Here's the half-finished stuff I have, someone might want to review and integrate:
- The book we started in Toronto HarfBuzz documentation hackfest (Thanks
Nathan, others!) but never finished:
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/text-layout-with-harfbuzz/
Accompanying code:
https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz-tutorial/blob/master/hello-harfbuzz.c
Note that the intent wasn't to leave it in flossmanuals, but to use their
editor mostly for collaboration. Feel free to lift whatever's there. I
haven't reviewed the sections that others wrote. I'll just review as you (or
others!) integrate in master.
- This needs cleaning up after we figure out how to build and host the docs:
https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/wiki
- I started this years ago, it covers things that no other documentation does
so far:
Getting Started with HarfBuzz
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18hI56KJpvXtwWbc9QSaz9zzhJwIMnrJ-zkAaKS-W-8k/edit
- This has some stuff that might be useful. I'll one day finish that, perhaps
after Dominik's work on HarfBuzz-driven itemization in Blink is complete:
Text Shaping and Layout Model and Low-level API
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GslUB4u-5JaKmQo8G6yr_-E7h31bt5aHPZeEL8Cd1IA/edit
Cheers, and keep them coming!
