Link to the documentation at some points in the tutorials
« on: August 26, 2014, 09:30:23 pm »
Yesterday I was looking for the supported file formats by SFML and found this sentece in the "Sprites and textures" tutorial

Quote
SFML supports the most common file formats. The full list is available in the API documentation.

I think it would be nice if there is a link to the documentation to see the full list.


Edit1: same for audio would be nice

The supported image formats are bmp, png, tga, jpg, gif, psd, hdr and pic.
Some format options are not supported, like progressive jpeg.

I think he was suggesting those links be put into the tutorials themselves.

But since the full list of audio formats has been posted, it's worth mentioning that libsndfile will be dropped at some point (https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/604) so that list will probably change.

Yeah, I did think that (it probably should be there) but I thought it should be here until then in case someone in the future searches the forum for this information.

I guess it doesn't hurt to add the links for the relevant stuff. :)
