Summary: documentation of nested element incomplete

Initial Comment:
When declaring nested elements in a russion-doll design, 
the nested elements are not listed in the namespace-
overview and the namespace-summary. Furthermore the 
documentation of attributes of nested tags is missing.

In an easy solution, they might be listed in the 
namespace-overview like this:

russianDoll
russianDoll.rdRoot
russianDoll.rdRoot.rdChild1
russianDoll.rdRoot.rdChild2

As a minimum, the links could direct to the 
documentation of the main element.

But simmilar to JavaDoc, it would be more helpfull to 
have a seperate documentation pages for each inner 
declaration. Otherwise it would be quiet complex to 
display and to understand, which attribute is used where.

I've played with this a bit, and the problem I mentioned
does seem to be solved now, but I have one comment about
where the documentation is listed.

Many of the annotations/documentation I put in a type are
only relevent in the context of the element they are
contained within.

It would appear that the CVS head version places this
documentation in two places. Once inside the element where I
want it, but also on the over page.

I've created a schema for testing here:
http://www.csuk-solutions.net/opensource/test/xsddoc.xsd.
Once you generate docs, (xsddoc -t "XML Schema for Test" -o
test -verbose xsddoc.xsd), View the index page, click
noNamespace, click complextypeType. You will see that the
documentation for the element "name" also appears under the
documentation for the encapsulating element, which means the
documentation is out of context.

Hope this feedback helps.

Col.

Hi Colin,

the problem seems to be solved.
Could you please retest with current CVS HEAD?

Regards
Kurt

This seems to work OK for me. Now (very) happily seeing my
nested element documented.

I do get this warning when I start xsddoc:
fatal: :819:82 A node test that matches either NCName:* or
QName was expected.
fatal: :819:82 Extra illegal tokens: 'name', '(', '..', ')',
'=', ''xs:redefine'', ']'

But the error does not actually seem to be fatal after all
as the docs /do/ get generated.

This may be due to some other random CVS related thing or
just my build....

Thanks for developing this tool tho', it's much appreciated.
I like the docs made by XMLSpy but seeing as it doesn't run
on Linux and it costs loads, I can't really use it.

A first good solution is now available in CVS HEAD.
We are now awaiting feedbach from users before we release a 
new version of xsddoc.
