Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Update on Calc Guide
Hi Martin, This was "briefly" discussed at today's Docs meeting. "Briefly", because some recent attempts to use the odtclean script have failed and it was agreed that Oliver will contact Milos about this issue. Be assured we (The Docs Team) always take into account that the guides must be made available in a translatable format. However, you must also understand that the Calc Guide is currently still "work in progress" and has not yet reached it's fully "Published" state.

The other mainstream 7.0 guides have been moved over to the new simplified workflow. I did consider changing the Calc Guide 7.0 folder structure, but since there were a number of people actively working on that guide it seemed best to leave structure alone and avoid possible disruption or confusion. I see that Steve has given you a few points to consider before moving to final publication, so I suggest you move copies of all the odt chapter files and compiled books back into the "Feedback" folder until you are fully satisfied that the guide is ready for final publication and then move all the finished content over to the "Published" folder. The reason I suggest keeping the "Published" folder empty for now, is that some native language projects look to that folder for files on which to base the translation or adaptation into their language. Your choice, but I would also suggest the 3 files currently sitting in the "Feedback" be moved to the "Archive" folder.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Producing guides - add a "Cleaned" directory
Attempting to install the oxt in LO 7.0.4.2 (x64) and 6.4.7.2 (x86) on
Win10 generates the following error:
(com.sun.star.lang.WrappedTargetRuntimeException) { { { Message = "Bad
Zip File, ZipException: Zip END signature not found!", Context =
(com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @1d35768a930 (ImplementationName =

(com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @1d35768a930 (ImplementationName =

Strangely it installs in AOO 4.1.8 without any error.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Docs wiki
Hi Rob, I mentioned to you previously that the contributor guide documentation is in a state of flux and what you currently read there should not be taken as absolute fact. At the docs team meeting on Oct 31st 2018 it was agreed that in future screen captures for the guides would be taken from Windows 10. In fact I offered to make the screen captures for any contributor who either didn't have Windows 10, or wasn't able to make them. Unfortunately, this was never adhered to and we continue to have an inconsistent variety of captures. Maybe this would be the time to reach team consensus on this issue and document it in the contributors guide. For an number of different reasons the "Template Changer" extension has pretty much been abandoned/ignored. Mainly because it is no longer being developed/supported. While the extension still works perfectly for me, others have reported that they have issues, possibly related to their choice, There are 2 methods for applying a template to an existing document: 1. See "Associating a document with a different template" page 224 of the 6.4 Writer Guide. 2. See "Creating and modifying styles" page 182 of the 6.4 Writer Guide. The second option allows you to choose between a template stored in your local templates, or from a file in a different location. If you don't already have a copy of the 6.4 Writer Guide, download from: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/a/a4/WG64-WriterGuide.pdf Regards Dave On 31/12/2020 08:56, Rob Westein wrote: > Hi All, > > Indeed, it is confusing... > How to apply the latest template to an Revised Chapter?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Attribution as an author of Calc Guide
Hi Filipe, Knowing Stefan from his previous contributions to the project, I don't believe he is asking for anything more than a simple acknowledgement, by adding his name to the "Contributors To previous editions" on the "Copyright" page of this and future guides. This and every other guide we produce is based on the original OOo guides (most of which Jean was _mainly_ responsible for), so I don't think it is necessary to add more explanations of our origins than those that already exist.

It's true that clicking the "Extensions" button in the Templates Manager dialog does nothing if a document is not open, but when a document is open the "Extensions" button in the Templates Manager dialog opens another internal dialog displaying a scrolling list of downloadable templates. The above is true for me in LO Version: 7.1.1.2 under both Windows 10 and Linux. Under LO 7.2 dev. the Templates Manager dialog "Extensions" button is disabled if a document is not opened.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Documentation Team Meeting Minutes February 18th 2021 at 18:00 UTC.
While I agreed with Peter's previous proposal for the 5th. character
style to be Liberation Mono regular, not emphasis (italic), I don't see
the need for any extended character styles.
The whole purpose of the Documentation Template is for all the guides to
have a consistent set of agreed styles and style naming we all use.
However, I have just been looking back through some recently published
guides, where there appears to be a number of additional character
styles invented "on the fly" and duplicated names added for identical
styles.
In light of the above, trying to reach any kind of consensus on a new
guide template is a totally futile exercise and I don't intend to make
any further comment on the subject.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposed new character style for user guides
I am not a translator, but as I understand it, Olivier proposed this
5th. character style mainly for the benefit of translators, see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/documentation@global.libreoffice.org/msg16009.html
While I have many other reservations about the guide documentation
template, I don't believe it will involve much additional effort.
Looking back through some recently published guides there appears to be
a mixed approach to the character style used for naming UI objects
(widgets), where some have the emphasis style and others have the
default style.

I have now completed my review of DG7103-WorkingWithObjects and returned it to the WIP folder. The Status spreadsheet has been updated. The reviewed document has a small number of suggested text changes and a couple of comments. One comment on a specific point is if we want to expand the guide to cover the "Legacy" toolbars, or simply add a note to the "Slant and corner radius" section of this chapter, to avoid misleading the reader.

I am starting to think we might be talking at cross purposes. I am talking about a style used in the OTT template used to produce our user guides and I suspect you are referring the styling of code used to produce the software. These are two entirely different subjects. Maybe the use of the term "Code" has led to some misunderstanding. Our user guides do not contain any usable programming code, but where a guide needs to explain/illustrate something like one or two lines of Basic code, the guide author uses the "Code" style as defined below. > If you look through the guides you'll see a lot of inconsistency > from random processes.

However, I feel the Accessibility Check tool needs additional work to raise it up to a more useable level. Just some rough basic examples: * I run the tool on some of my own documents and it shows headings for all possible issues in the document, not just those that actually do exist in the document and need consideration. Creating confusion for inexperienced users. * The dialog shows 2 instances of items where "The text formatting conveys additional meaning." is displayed, when the document actually has a total of 8 identical issues. * Clicking the "Go to issue" dialog button highlights a 1/2 special character, which tells the user absolutely nothing about the accessibility issue, IF ANY. I haven't yet checked Bugzilla, but I feel this needs to be drawn to the devs attention. You are probably aware that the "Help" button in the Accessibility Check dialog generates a 404 page error.
