Re: [platform-help-dev] Reducing the size of the XML files? (Fwd)
|
Steve,
The "base path" idea is an interesting idea, and it will certainly improve
performance a bit. Could you please open a feature in bugzilla?
Try the following:
- break the larger topics files into smaller ones and use the linking
mechanism to wire them up
- the breakdown should be so that the hrefs have flatter structure
- package the help files into multiple doc.zip files
- contribute each doc.zip with another fragment.
This may or may not help much, but it has a relatively similar effect as
using a "base path".
