Hey Milo, Thanks for bringing this up for discussion on the list. I want to mention to everybody the possibly solution to this issue we discussed on IRC. If you've played a lot with Mallard, you may have run into link titles or sort titles. These are variations on the title that get used for different purposes. You provide these with extra title elements in the info. Mallard allows you to provide all sorts of info titles, for basically any purpose you want. So we can just add text-only titles by agreeing on what to call the title type and implementing it in Yelp. I had two proposals. The first was to use "window" as the title type, and define it very narrowly to be the title as it would appear in a window title bar. The second was to use "text" as the title type, and define it very broadly to be a title to be used whenever you need plain text. This includes e.g. menus. I like the broader definition better. Nothing prevents others from doing narrower definitions as extensions if there's a need. So we would do this: <page id="index"> <info> <title type="link">Empathy Instant Messenger</title> <title type="text">Empathy Instant Messenger</title> </info> <title><media ../>Empathy Instant Messenger</title> </page> Thoughts? -- Shaun McCance http://syllogist.net/ _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
