[01:03] <yuddie> i need help installing softwares on my sysytem
[01:06] <nhandler> yuddie: Try #ubuntu for support
[01:08] <pace_t_zulu> yuddie: try this URL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications
[15:49] <Rocket2DMn> Hey mdke , when you merged my branch, does the branch go away?
[15:50] <Rocket2DMn> I dont see it listed anymore on https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc
[15:50] <Rocket2DMn> Basically what I'm getting at is that I had to upload all 90-something MB of the docs to that branch and I'd prefer not to need to do that every time I have a branch merged
[19:39] <gartral> i found an out of place comma on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions first paragraph, section 2.3
[20:20] <Rocket2DMn> lol ok...
[22:08] <nhandler> Would anyone here be willing to give me a hand with a section of documentation?
[22:08] <DougieRichardson> which section
[22:09] <nhandler> DougieRichardson: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~nhandler/ubuntu-doc/ppa
[22:09] <nhandler> I'm working on a ppa section, but I have a few questions
[22:09] <DougieRichardson> OK
[22:10] <DougieRichardson> Jut grabbing your branch
[22:10] <nhandler> First, if you look in there, you will see that I use italicized text to denote parts of commands that need to be replaced, what is the propper way to do that?
[22:10] <nhandler> DougieRichardson: I would just use the web interface. It is only a small portion of one file
[22:11] <DougieRichardson> OK
[22:12] <DougieRichardson> which file
[22:12] <nhandler> DougieRichardson: Open up the diff for the most recent revision
[22:12] <nhandler> add-applications/C/add-applications.xml
[22:13] <DougieRichardson> I see what you mean. I'm not aware of a convention in this respect
[22:14] <DougieRichardson> as long as it is clear that something needs to be substituted
[22:15] <nhandler> Also, most of the content is straight from the old section about adding a repository to /etc/apt/sources.list. Should I merge the two together?
[22:17] <DougieRichardson> where was the original section?
[22:17] <DougieRichardson> Ah I see, no - I'd leave them seperate so that you can link to adding a source from other sections.
[22:20] <nhandler> DougieRichardson: Is there a way to use includes to avoid the duplication of content?
[22:21] <DougieRichardson> We try to structure things in such a way that we can link to them, so in this case you're saying add a source (click here if you need to know how to do it) sort of thing
[22:22] <DougieRichardson> For your emphasis problem, mark the section as needing help and we'll raise it on the mailing list - I think we need to add something to the styleguide.
[22:25] <DougieRichardson> I'm proposing to use the <emphasis> tag to wrap the part to be entered within the <filename> tag in this case.
[22:28] <DougieRichardson> nhandler:does that help at all?
