Doc update from Devin. Here's what I've changed: changes to the doc htm files: - added open definition -> added concepts/cdt_c_open_definitions.htm -> added images/openDefinition.png -> added images/open_definition_error.png -> updated images/openDeclaration.png -> updated images/open_declaration_error.png -> added tasks/cdt_t_open_definitions.htm -> updated links to point to open definition wherever open declaration is linked - information about the code reader buffer and properties in the menu -> added images/cdt_pref_parser.png -> added reference/cdt_o_parser_pref.htm (C/C++ Parser preferences) -> added reference/cdt_u_c_parser_codereader_cache_pref.htm -> added link to cdt_o_parser_pref.htm in reference/cdt_o_ref.htm - removed reference/cdt_u_shared_lib_view_pref.htm since it has no useful information (also removed the corresponding link in contexts_CDT_DEBUGGER.xml) - renamed the link absolute path "file:///E:/CDT/3.1/eclipse/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/images/indexer_import_largeproject1.PNG" in tasks/indexer_importing_large_project.html to the relative path "../images/indexer_import_largeproject1.PNG" dead links: removed: concepts/cdt_c_editor.htm -> <br><a href="../reference/cdt_u_editor_key_bind.htm">C/C++ editor key binding actions</a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_ctagsindexer.htm -> <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_indexer_timeout.htm"></a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_ctagsindexer.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm">Search, C/C++ Preferences window</a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_fullindexer.htm -> <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_indexer_timeout.htm"></a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_fullindexer.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm">Search, C/C++ Preferences window</a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_open_close.htm -> <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_indexer_timeout.htm"></a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_open_close.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm">Search, C/C++ Preferences window</a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_prog_bar.htm -> <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_indexer_timeout.htm"></a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer_prog_bar.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm">Search, C/C++ Preferences window</a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer.htm -> <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_indexer_timeout.htm"></a> removed: concepts/cdt_c_indexer.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm">Search, C/C++ Preferences window</a> renamed to references/cdt_u_m_edit.htm: concepts/cdt-c_templates.htm -> <a href="../reference/cdt_u_menu_edit.htm">Edit menu</a> removed: concepts/cdt_o_concepts.htm -> <img src="../images/trans.gif" border="0" width="50" height="1" alt=""><a style="text-decoration:none" href="cdt_c_indexer_prob_rep.htm">C/C++ Indexer Problem Reporting</a><br> removed: reference/cdt_u_m_project.htm -> Concepts/cdtconcepts-4.htm removed: reference/cdt_u_m_project.htm -> Tasks/cdttasks-106.htm removed: reference/cdt_o_ref.htm -> reference/cdt_u_mfile_rbcs.htm removed: reference/cdt_o_ref.htm -> reference/cdt_u_search_pref.htm renamed to cdt_o_mproj_pref.htm: reference/cdt_o_ref.htm -> reference/cdt_o_mproj_pref.htm removed: reference/cdt_u_m_project.htm -> Tasks/cdttasks-106.htm removed: tasks/cdt_o_tasks.htm -> <img src="../images/trans.gif" border="0" width="50" height="1" alt=""><a style="text-decoration:none" href="cdt_t_indexer_prob_rep.htm">C/C++ Indexer Problem Reporting</a><br> 2005-08-12 13:43:10 +00:00			`<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">`
