| j1mc | would going people should really right because could though something | 18:06 |
| j1mc | ^^ the most frequenly used words in this channel. hmm. | 18:07 |
| nixternal | wth | 18:10 |
| nixternal | oh | 18:10 |
| nixternal | I thought you were really drunk there for a second :p | 18:10 |
| j1mc | :) | 18:11 |
| * j1mc is drinking coffee | 18:11 | |
| j1mc | drinky drinks will come later tonight. | 18:11 |
| j1mc | hi jjesse | 19:29 |
| jjesse | hello j1mc | 19:32 |
| j1mc | how are kubuntu docs going? has it been very difficult trying to write up docs for KDE3.5 and KDE4? | 19:34 |
| ubotu | New bug: #194843 in kubuntu-docs (main) "Please add linitian over-ride for native-package-with-dash-version" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/194843 | 19:41 |
| dsas | when making a patch we don't usually patch the pots do we? | 21:11 |
| dsas | (I think I'm right in assuming they're automatically generated) | 21:11 |
| dsas | Just in case someone responds after I leave, I'm asking because of the patch attached to bug 162446 | 21:14 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 162446 in ubuntu-docs "Outdated link in Programming section" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/162446 | 21:14 |
| jpatrick | dsas: hey, that's one of mine! | 21:16 |
| dsas | jpatrick: yup. | 21:16 |
| jpatrick | mdke ^^ | 21:16 |
| dsas | hmm, is the "-l" in "ls -l" an option or an argument? We don't refer to it consistently. | 21:41 |
| dsas | (Personally I call it an argument) | 21:42 |
| jpatrick | I call it an argument too | 21:50 |
| dsas | the majority of the documentation in basic-commands.xml disagrees with us both. | 21:50 |
| dsas | It uses option consistently except in one place. So I've gone with the flow. | 21:51 |
| ubotu | New bug: #194886 in ubuntu-docs (main) "Hardy Heron cd repo name needs testing" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/194886 | 22:16 |
| j1mc | anyone around? i have a couple of file that don't validate because of this: see <link linkend="add-applications">Add Applications</link>), but that approach to linking works correctly in yelp. | 23:21 |
| j1mc | any advice? | 23:21 |
| j1mc | (that link was present in the gutsy release) | 23:21 |
| nixternal | is add-applications in the same document you are using the linkend? | 23:25 |
| * j1mc looks | 23:25 | |
| j1mc | no | 23:25 |
| nixternal | that be the reason :) | 23:25 |
| j1mc | what type of link can i use instead? | 23:26 |
| nixternal | if we were still doing our documentation in bookform, it would work, but in article it doesn't | 23:26 |
| j1mc | and why does it not validate if it works in yelp? /me confused. | 23:26 |
| nixternal | you could use <ulink url="document.xml">foo</ulink> | 23:26 |
| nixternal | it works in Yelp? | 23:26 |
| nixternal | now that is odd | 23:27 |
| j1mc | would i need to provide any kind of path data? <ulink url="../../document.xml">foo</ulink> | 23:27 |
| nixternal | ya | 23:27 |
| nixternal | hrmm | 23:27 |
| nixternal | ya | 23:27 |
| nixternal | I was thinking of translations for a sec, but it would be fine | 23:27 |
| j1mc | i'll give that a try. see if it works. | 23:28 |
| j1mc | thanks. | 23:28 |
| nixternal | see, for Kubuntu we build out to HTML, which is stupid but we do | 23:28 |
| j1mc | see, for Xubuntu, we don't know what the hell we're doing, which is stupid, but we do. :) | 23:28 |
| nixternal | lol | 23:28 |
| j1mc | ok. thanks. | 23:28 |
| j1mc | i'll probably post to the ML with how i fix it, just to see if someone has another suggestion. this problem is in several docs, so i'd hate to change it in all of them, think it works, and then find out it breaks something. | 23:29 |
| nixternal | if you haven't yet, also on freenode is #docbook, and you can catch walsh in there sometimes to give you some pointers | 23:30 |
| j1mc | thanks. :) | 23:30 |
| nixternal | he is the inventor of docbook and can be of great help too when you are stuck with some tricky stuff | 23:30 |
| j1mc | ok | 23:30 |
