Tom (and others), I'm not sure that "allow to" is such an enormous problem with the help files. There are only 8 help files which use "allow to" or "allows to", and only one of them has more than one occurrence, so manual change is easily possible - no automation needed.
A far larger problem is the API documentation where the problem is widespread. Clicking at random I found http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/bridge/Bridge.html at the first attempt! And I can't think of a way in which "allows to initialize" could be changed to "initializes" automatically. As to whether "you" should be allowed in a help file, I have no deep feelings - this appears to be contentious, but is used a lot in some files. As there is a human being using the help file, I see no harm in referring to them as "you". As it happens "allows you to" also occurs in at least one help file. But I do not think that "you" has a place in API documentation - there is no human being involved in calling a method or using an interface (or is it the programmer?). ----- Peter -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Help-files-Large-scale-cosmetic-changes-tp4169547p4169802.html Sent from the Documentation mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
