 Hi *,

 I have looked at the published LO-Books at Lulu, because I have been
 asked for a published German Base-Handbuch 5.0

 1. I have seen format for the books is US-Trade (15,24cm * 22,86cm)
 Is there any trick to get a book from format DIN A4 (21cm * 29,7cm)
 down to this format without greater problems?

 2. How could we publish the Base-Handbuch 5.0 at Lulu? Who has
 uploaded the other LO-books?

 Robert


I upload and publish the LO books on Lulu, for Friends of OpenDocument Inc.

I use a Mac, so it's easy in Preview to print a book (in PDF, formatted
for A4) to a PDF of a different page size (in this case, 6x9 inches).
However, Lulu's printers often don't like the result, so instead I usually
print from Preview to PostScript and the smaller paper size, then use
Acrobat Distiller to create a new PDF from the PS file.

That process is quick and easy for me to do, so if you want me to do it for
you, just ask. I can also upload the book to Lulu for you. But I need to do
it before August 1st, because I am going travelling then for 6 weeks, with
little or no Internet access much of the time.

Hello Hazel,
 
 Maybe I could give you a hand.

There is a lot of text added to the first Handbook. The fist edition
had about 350 pages, this edition has 520 pages.

There are some parts added, but also some parts are corrected.

A lot of work ...

Regards

Robert

So it would take a long time, especially as I have other fish to fry
right now. Would this be a problem for the team? If so, you'd better
look for a quick and dirty solution.

[libreoffice-documentation] Help Authoring Extension

2015-07-24 Thread Jan Holesovsky
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
