The reporsitory in opengrok has the latest changes (we call it master) 
and will be the help content of LibreOffice 5.2 later this year. When 
you pulled the help content with git, you downloaded the same content as 
displayed in opengrok. 
Ah I see.


The distributed text is from release 5.1 or lower, which means that you 
see differences between releases. If the forthcomming release 5.2 is 
worse than the distributed release, we did it wrong. 
That explains it. Thanks.

I don't think there's any great preference between "Select" and "Select this 
option" on grammatical or stylistic grounds. The former has the advantage of 
being shorter. So you didn't do it wrong. Maybe someone (myself?) should go 
through it and make them all the same.


If you want to check the latest content, you can download and install 
the nightly builds of LibreOffice. 
I don't have a build of LO on my machine at the moment. Being a Windows user 
it's a bit complicated. I don't have Cygwin and my C: drive's getting full....


http://vm173.documentfoundation.org has the help content XHP file 
directly rendered in the browser. Just append the path/file of the XHP 
file in the url to get it displayed, e.g. to display 

text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export.xhp 

navigate to 

http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export.xhp
I didn't know this either! Thanks again.





Once you modify the file, you have done an "enhancement" to our 
software. The differences between your work and the existing text is a 
"patch". A patch must  be submitted to our git repository interface 
named gerrit. Someone, (possibly me or another developer [1]) will 
review your patch and approve, comment and ask for more work, or reject 
it. Once approved your enhancement is part of LibreOffice. 

How to submit a patch:

I'll work on this!
