Hi Patrick,

- Did you incorporate the patches from Debian Team or are those specific to this platform?

Depends on which patches you are referring to, some work gas been incorporated into GAP already, if not it can be analyzed and incorporated, but has nothing to do with github. If you were already checking out SVN sources, you don't gain anything new, except if you prefer using "git pull" to "svn update"


- If I understand well, the only difference between Savannah and this Github repo is the 12 hours delay?

So it should be, finally! I just checked and the commits I did in HelpViewer and they flowed in correctly. Good work, Greg.

- If people have an issue or a PR, could they use the Github repo to post it?

Work is stil done on savannah, so bug and patches better reported there. I don't think it is a bi-directional mirror, but Gregory may answer there. It would be dangerous. However it is convenient for many to be able to check-out updated sources

PS: try HelpViewer... did quite a lot of work this week on it, didn't announce it yet. If you want to discover yourself, try. It is synced to github!


I built the latest HelpViewer and I could clean the code of my existing User Guides:

- removing 'no-breakspace' after 'bold' and 'italic' tags: those tags are now rendered as expected, not triming anymore the following space. - removing all 'no-breakspace' inside blocks like 'listing', 'notes' and so on. Those blocks are rendered as expected now, not triming anymore words, nor breaking lines like they did.

UTF-8 characters are interpreted as expected: tested with French accented ones...

Maybe something is missing: 'url' tag does not yet provide a useful link to click on. Is that behaviour expected?

My updated examples are published there:
https://github.com/pcardona34/agnostep-help

I also looked for a clear way to associate a .help file to the Help menuitem of the app, but I found only that was documented for RTF documentation format (with Index and TOC).

Cheers,
Patrick
