Bug ID: 104768
Summary: Poor linking to Macro documentation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.3.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bridgeportcontrac...@gmail.com
PROPOSED SOLUTION: I imagine the simplest solution might be to append this
link:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
to this page:
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
-------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Perhaps a html link was accidentally deleted from LibreOffice.org,
but at the moment, an important link to LO documentation is mislocated I think.
Let's take the example of drilling down to find the LibreOffice Base Handbook,
containing Chapter 9, "Macros".
The only link I can find to it is from here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
The trouble is, how does one get from LibreOffice.org, to this page to find it?
If you start at LibreOffice.org and click on Get Help | Documentation, you
won't find any reference to this important Base documentation manual covering
Macros.
Notes:
1: I've also looked through the other resources from LibreOffice.org | Get
Help | Documentation, leading here:
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ but the resources there are
only introductory, and for recorded macros.
2: So far, I've found the LibreOffice Base Handbook the very best, most
recent, LO resource to explain Macro programming. If there is something newer,
and/or more obvious, I would be interested.
3: Here's how you can, circuitously, drill down to this documentation from
LibreOffice.org:
* You have to click on "Community" and then select "wiki", which I don't
think is a very obvious way to find documentation.
Here is that procedure in detail:
--------------------------------------------
Starting at: http://www.libreoffice.org/
Click "Community" on the menu, then select "Wiki"
This takes you to: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page
Then go down to "Teams", and "Documentation", and click on: "Guides"
This takes you to:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications where you can
scroll down to find this manual:
Browse down to: "LibreOffice Base Handbook",
then down to "chapter 9 Macros"
-------------------------------------------
Thanks for your work on this!
