ABSTRACT

This paper describes how ILOG, a French software company designing C++ and Java class libraries, managed the transition between paper-only documentation and extensive HTML online documentation in less than two years. In this paper, we analyze the underlying reasons for making this change, describe the technological choices that were made, and walk through the various steps of the project from its beginning to final completion.
