API for browing to documentation

Open theCapypara opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

It would be pretty cool if Biblioteca had some sort of API that let other apps browse it's content and present it to the user.

This could be used by IDE/editor plugins / LSPs to jump to a specific documentation within Biblioteca.

A good option would maybe be some sort of URI scheme that Biblioteca can handle?

devhelp does not seem to have a URI schema, it does have command line arguments for controlling the search functionality though.

It also exposes itself as a shared library to be embedded into other GTK apps.

Let's bring a concrete use case first where an app would make use of this and someone is interested in doing the work on that app.

Workbench comes to mind of course but we need design.
