Hello doc users,

I recently started using doc for writing down my dissertation
thesis. It looks quite interesting for this job.

What I really miss is documentation describing the usage
and the possibilities offered. If it exists and I simply
missed it, I'd be glad if somebody could open my eyes :-).

If nothing like that exists, I'd make the following suggestion:

I could play with the interface and go through the code and put
up the skeleton of such a documentation. It'd contain the main
elements that are available someway like:

Document items:

 -Fonts

 -Items
   -smallskip
   -medskip
   ...

 -Macros

....

Predefined values

Standard contents of a style

Interactive use
  Modifying a float
  ...

etc.

This could be filled in by more knowledgeable people ( ok, I'll
also put in my knowledge, but that's pretty small :-().

A future real documentation could be based on that. What is
required for this is enough interest for the project and some
people willing to add information.

I'd be glad to hear of you.
