Hi, I've spent some time today fixing the HelpAuthoring extension, and together with the Regina's fix (thank you, Regina!), I think it got to a usable state :-)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Help describes where to get it, and the basic usage. More detailed user manual can be found here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/HelpContent The .xhp's generated by the extension are now nicely formatted, which means that when you save a .xhp in the help repository, it will likely be a big diff the first time (due to the changed formatting - strings should be preserved); but from then on, the changes should be tiny, as the format will be much better defined. Also the editing directly in LibreOffice seems to be neat & usable. There might be rough edges still - but I hope no blocker any more. In other words - *no excuses* for not writing help any more ;-) Please do use it, and if you experience trouble, either fix it yourself: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools/tree/helpauthoring/README or let me know - the xslt that implements the export filter is trivial. Would be good to start thinking of a workflow between the developers and the documentation team - I imagine developers could stub help for things they are developing, and the documentation team members would then finalize and de-hackerize that, but ideas how to grow the community of help authors much appreciated. [BTW - if you are wondering about the editable wikihelp: no, I'm not abandoning the idea; but that is a long-term quest, and the help needs improving _now_.] All the best, Kendy -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
