column documentation - dynamic link?
I use the docurl facility and like it a lot. I've been thinking it would be cool to be able to do something similar with the column documentation, which seems to be fixed at selecting an entry from the columndoc.csv file.
Basically, I'd like to use a docurl-like link to take me to a file (or a CGI) that could hold my documentation for the column meaning, and troubleshooting information associated with that test.
See nothing in bbgen's doc to suggest this is possible... might be a nice enhancement. -Alan

It's the COLUMNDOCURL setting in hobbitserver.cfg.
COLUMNDOCURL Format string used to build a link to the documentation for a column heading. Default: "$CGIBINURL/hobbitcol-umn.sh?%s", which causes links to use the hobbitcolumn.sh(1) script to document a column.

Mmmm, I don't see any man pages for hobbitcolumn.sh but there is one for bb-csvinfo.cgi(1) ;-)

Thanks, that's perfect. I was looking in the wrong places. -Alan
