@Canina this is to support examples in published documentation about a SQL platform. I'll edit. (more) |

| Question | — |
How can I generate documentation from comments in SQL DDL? I have some SQL scripts that contain DDL to create tables and schemas for a database. I'd like to be able to comment this SQL and then use those comments to generate output documentation (in HTML). I want to be able to document the purpose of each table and table column, and have the output be nice... (more) |

And a key difference is that we're young and small, while SO isn't. People on SO resist investing time to help people because there's *so much*; it probably feels like bailing out the ocean with a thimble. *We* can get off on the right foot and grow organically, helping people along the way.

@Alexei in terms of the broad task, it's what I said in the question. In terms of details like using the tools and guidelines for when to use them, we have help for that. Plus a team of people who are available for questions as needed. We're not going to strand you. :-) (Could you get in touch wi... (more) |

I agree; that list from the proposal is a great starting point. (Upvoted it back then, still support it.) (more) |

A: Who should the moderators be? I nominate Lundin, who is very active on main and meta, has proposed some initiatives on meta, and is well-positioned to help us firm up sometimes-fuzzy scope and help this young community grow. (more) |

That's fair @r~~. This community came about a little differently from the others; there were lots of general requests for a software site but we didn't have a cohesive community. Now that we're here and have some participants and some questions getting answers, how should we proceed to best move fo... (more) |

A: Should we have a Code Review Section / category? Proposal, based on the feedback here so far: because code-review questions have special rules, create a category. This allows (and we would need proposed text from the community for): - Category description: that short text at the top of the posts list; can contain links. - Posting guidance: y... (more) |

A: How do I configure Jenkins to strip the leading “origin/” in git branch parameter? For the git branch parameter, set Branch Filter to: origin/(.) I found the parentheses to be counter-intuitive, because if you don't specify a filter you get: . (No parens.) If you are filtering stuff out, you use parens to indicate the part to keep. The parens indicate a capt... (more) |

How do I configure Jenkins to strip the leading “origin/” in git branch parameter? I'm using Jenkins with a branch parameter to specify the branch to build from. Other stuff downstream needs the branch name to not have the leading "origin/" -- just "feature/blahblah" or "bugfix/12345" or similar. The advanced settings for the parameter let me specify a branch filter via regex, but ... (more) |

Right now close reasons are per-community, not per-community-per-category. We could adopt a convention like "[CR] reason" and "[Q&A] reason" for the ones that are unique to a category, until category-specific reasons are possible. (more) |

A category can define tags that get special styling, like bug/discussion/feature-request/support here on meta. (It's one special style, not different styles for different groups of tags.) So Q&A could make code-review stand out like that, along with any other future tags that should be treated spec... (more) |

| Question | — |
Who should the moderators be? As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Usually some people stand out from the proposal process and early activity. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose its own moderators; we've been doing this as a stopgap, while co...

@Lundin the team monitors all the metas for bug reports, so it's fine to ask here. (When problems aren't clear or there could be workarounds, the wider audience of main Meta can help, but here the problem seems pretty clear.) (more) |

@Lundin that's a good point about self-answered Q&A modeling the Q&A we want. (more) |

| Comment | Post #278189 |
@meriton sorry, I probably should have used more qualifiers there. I've seen self-answered questions, both here and elsewhere, that got comments criticizing the question. When you already know the answer, it's easier to leave critical information out of the question. And I've seen complaints (main... (more) |

| Question | — |
Do we want a wiki (or similar) alongside Q&A? In addition to Q&A, Codidact supports another post type, article. Articles can be used for blog posts, wiki pages, and other resources. Articles, like questions, use tags, so searching for a tag would find them alongside questions. Articles, unlike questions, do not have answers, though they do ha... (more) |

A package system for separation with intentional versioning seems like a sound approach to me. But I'm the OP and probably less equipped to evaluate than others here. I see that someone has downvoted this answer and would like to understand why, if possible. (more) |

It looks like the dev team has done some repo cleanup since we first looked at this; their repo is now down to about 70GB, and doc's WIndows machines aren't loaded up with as much corporate bloatware as they used to be. So we could actually share now; thanks for pointing it out. (more) |

A: Long code lines are not wrapped Code blocks that are wider than the column they're trying to fit in now get horizontal scrollbars. As noted in another answer, it's not safe to assume that line-wrapping won't change the correctness of code. (more) |

Also, what counts as a long line for display purposes is affected by display size and zoom. Code that looks just fine on a full-size monitor might be sad on a phone. You can never format your code so that it'll never have problems, so regardless of what the poster does, the site might still need to... (more) |

A user created a tag containing a space, which broke things, and an admin changed it to have the hyphen. I don't think admins were weighing in on the merits of the tag, just trying to mitigate a bug. (more) |

| Comment | Post #277551 |
Or the code blocks with lines too long for the space should get scrollbars so they stay in bounds without anything getting truncated. I don't know what's better here, scrolling or auto-wrap, but either would be better than letting them get so wide that they don't fit and over/underlap other content.... (more) |

Hello. Apparently we have a bug that affected the layout on this post (made things kind of unreadable).
