| ds305 | Formatting question for a ubuntu wiki guru ... | 19:41 |
| ds305 | Making a page for StartUp-Manager. All references to "StartUp" are underlined/linked. How do I prevent this? | 19:41 |
| nhandler | ds305: In #ubuntu-news, they told me to add `` between the words (which works). Rocket2DMn told me that adding a ! in front of it is the proper way (I have not tried this) | 20:06 |
| ds305 | Thanks nhandler , trying it. | 20:06 |
| ds305 | nhandler: the ! works, appreciate your input. | 20:07 |
| nhandler | :) | 20:07 |
| nhandler | Shouldn't an APT line in the system docs be in <programlisting> tags instead of <screen> tags? | 21:38 |
| DougieRichardson | screen tag is more heavily used, which looks better in Yelp? | 21:38 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: I don't know. I was just basing that question on what https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/DocbookConventions says | 21:39 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler: yes I just read that too | 21:40 |
| DougieRichardson | If that's the convention then thats best - does it require the removal of whitespace as <screen> does? | 21:40 |
| nhandler | IIRC it does | 21:41 |
| nhandler | Although for one line of text, it isn't an issue | 21:41 |
| DougieRichardson | OK use the <programlisting> tag then. | 21:42 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: I don't think your proposal for dealing with stuff that the user needs to modify will work. The <emphasis> tag just doesn't make that section of text stand out enough. | 22:01 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:What do you propose instead? | 22:02 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: I'm not sure. Does yelp support bold text? | 22:03 |
| DougieRichardson | Other than emphasis? | 22:03 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: A normal <emphasis> for me shows up as italicized in yelp | 22:04 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:I can't check at the moment I'm on a Windows box. | 22:05 |
| nhandler | No problem DougieRichardson. One more question, is <ulink url="http://somesite.com">some text</ulink> the correct syntax for a link to a website? Yelp complains whenever I click on a link made in that fashion | 22:09 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:What's the erro | 22:10 |
| nhandler | Unable to Load Page The requested URI "https://launchpad.net/" is invalid | 22:10 |
| bencrisford | nhandler: do an F5 it has been doing that all day | 22:11 |
| bencrisford | i just refresh and it normally works | 22:11 |
| nhandler | bencrisford: This isn't on Launchpad itself. This is yelp displaying the error in an alert box. Launchpad works fine in FF | 22:11 |
| bencrisford | oh, sorry :P | 22:12 |
| bencrisford | i just tuned in at that moment | 22:12 |
| bencrisford | sox | 22:12 |
| bencrisford | soz* | 22:12 |
| bencrisford | nhandler: perhaps yelp doesnt support https://? | 22:12 |
| nhandler | That could be it bencrisford. Let me try with a normal http | 22:13 |
| DougieRichardson | Have you tried using <link> rather than <ulink> | 22:13 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: No, http://opensource.bureau-cornavin.com/crash-course/en/links.html said <ulink> should be used for web links <link> should be used for internal documentation links | 22:14 |
| nhandler | bencrisford: Using http did not solve the problem. I'll try using <link> now | 22:15 |
| bencrisford | ok | 22:16 |
| DougieRichardson | the docbook tdg doesn't restrict link to internal and we don't use it for internal linking at all, we use xref | 22:16 |
| bencrisford | i didnt even know there was a tag, all my docbook experience is with spux project so I have no need for internal linking | 22:17 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: <link> didn't work either | 22:17 |
| DougieRichardson | Try the link in Internet/Web Apps/SpamAssassin - I know they worked prior to Jaunty | 22:19 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: No links are working for me. Do you think me being on a live cd has anything to do with this? | 22:27 |
| DougieRichardson | Possibly. There might be a mime type issue | 22:27 |
| nhandler | And as a note, serverguide/C/mail.xml uses <ulink> too | 22:29 |
| DougieRichardson | ulink is the correct tag | 22:30 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: When you get a chance, please take a look at my merge proposal | 22:56 |
| DougieRichardson | OK | 22:57 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:Its a pain in the backside but the project I'm working on is Windows only. Closed source and crash prone. | 22:57 |
| nhandler | Loads of fun DougieRichardson. Although, you can review merge proposals through email or the LP web interface ;) | 22:58 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:Didn't know that | 22:58 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Review | 22:59 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:reading it now | 23:05 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:typo in line 65 | 23:07 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:you are downloading from the PPA that want. | 23:07 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: Fixed locally. Anything else before I push the update? | 23:08 |
| DougieRichardson | No push the update and I'll review/merge it | 23:09 |
| DougieRichardson | Nice page BTW | 23:09 |
| nhandler | Thanks DougieRichardson | 23:10 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:What do you think about the learning idea. | 23:10 |
| nhandler | DougieRichardson: I'm still interested in seeing how they go about incorporating other learning programs into it. I've been worried about duplication of efforts from the start | 23:11 |
| DougieRichardson | nhandler:I'm worried they don't appreciate the community process and are in for the world's biggest disappointment on the 2nd June | 23:12 |
