| mpt | Hi, is there any way within a help file I can tell whether the environment is Gnome or UNR? | 14:02 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | well, gnome-panel or UNR, more precisely | 14:02 |
| mpt | Anyone awake in this channel? :-) | 15:20 |
| mpt | I'd like some help with cross-reference links if possible | 15:20 |
| alourie | mpt: awake, yes :-) | 15:35 |
| mpt | Specifically, how do I link from an application's standalone help file to the Gnome "Customizing the Panel Menubar" help page? | 15:35 |
| alourie | I'd guess it would need to be a link to yelp | 15:39 |
| shaunm | mpt: in general, to link to another document, use ghelp: URIs | 15:40 |
| shaunm | but conditional stuff, like determining what desktop you're running under, not possible | 15:40 |
| mpt | shaunm, I have no idea what the ghelp: URI for that page is, or how I'd find it out, or which DocBook linking element I'd use. | 15:41 |
| mpt | Is it <xlink>? | 15:41 |
| shaunm | ulink | 15:41 |
| mpt | oh, no such thing as xlink, I was thinking of xref | 15:42 |
| shaunm | ghelp:user-guide?some-id | 15:42 |
| mpt | ok, ulink, thanks | 15:42 |
| shaunm | to link to a page in the user guide. you'll have to look at the user-guide xml to find an id to use | 15:42 |
| mpt | ok, found the file, goseditmainmenu.xml | 15:45 |
| mpt | <section id="menu-editor"> | 15:46 |
| mpt | So, <ulink url="ghelp:menu-editor">repeat the title of the page</ulink> | 15:47 |
| mpt | aha, <ulink url="ghelp:user-guide?menu-editor">Customizing the menu bar</ulink> | 15:49 |
| mpt | thanks muchly shaunm | 15:49 |
