The only relevant part I can find from that article is:
> One criticism we've seen of the FreePascal project in general concerns its documentation, although there is quite a lot of it: eight FPC manuals, and lengthy Lazarus docs in multiple languages. There is a paid-for tutorial e-book available, too.
The criticism is that there is too much documentation available? And they're long, and dare even to be available in multiple languages?
- lproven 1y agoNo. You are incorrectly chaining statements. * Many criticise the docs; * There _are_ docs, and a lot of them. This is not an "A therefore B" proposition. It is offering 2 points, not positing a connection: "The docs are not very good." AND "Docs do exist, lots of them." In other words: there are docs, lots and lots of docs, but they are not very good. For instance, specifically, the indexing and cross-referencing is, I am told, poor. Too much documentation, if badly organised, can be as bad as too little.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoI'm incorrectly asking questions? You sound like a great author. I was asking about why the documentation was bad, with one example. You could reply "No" but instead shared some word-salad? You could have just replied "Someone told me the indexing and cross-referencing is poor, I agree/disagree with that because of X" so we could have a normal human conversation instead of you trying to lecture some random internet commentator on completely irrelevant logic. Just be human instead.
