Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
David, Considering David T's expressed concern regarding git, setting up collaboration in one repo is probably the least complicated. That would allow you to help out with the more subtle git operations, and allow David T. to worry less about that part.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
David, I am glad that you are taking on this aspect of the docs. Thank you. I would like to note to you (and reiterate for the larger group) the following important information: I am a POOR CHOICE to be considered some kind of documentation expert. While I have a great deal of editorial experience, and have reasonable technical writing sensibilities, I have demonstrated over the years a profound and preternatural ability to mess up this documentation process. Placing your trust in my skills and abilities is likely to lead to trouble.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
Hi Frank, The problem I was having is that until David Ts changes are merged into the main repo I can't pull them using either GitHub or GitKraken to my local repo from the GnuCash-docs github. I use Gitkraken and it has just allowed me to clone https://github.com/sunfish62/gnucash-docs into a second repo on my computer so I should be able to feed any material to him through that. David suggested I add sections on the other import facilities i.e. DTAUS MT940 and MT942 I'm happy to do that but it will be easier if I can do the changes here then send david a pull request. One problem I will have is getting sample files for the MT940, MT942 and DTAUS formats so I can run through the interfaces. I have a friend who was a manager with Deutsche Bank a few years ago but Klaus is now working for another company in Melbourne. If you know where I can find any sample files I would appreciate getting hold of them. It would be good to have a collection of sample files for testing Gnucash in any case as part of the program. No problem for the internal ones that Gnucash can export. Best wishes David (Cousens) On Tue, 2018-09-18 at 13:15 +0200, Frank H.

There are other ways to collaborate. There is not really anything special about the Gnucash/gnucash-docs repo. What you can do there, you can equally do with your personal forks. And for that you even don't need to fork David T's repo. You can still pull requests against it from your current Gnucash/gnucash-docs fork. You would do so like any other pull request. The difference is that instead of going with the defaults proposed by github, you change the target repo to David T's repo (sunfish62). You can publish your changes to your own fork and David T. can look at them there. Or you create PR's and then David T. can review them as part of his builds. Yet another method could be that one of you adds the other as collaborator to your personal fork. In that case both of you can work directly on the same repo. Regardless of the chosen route, be aware this will require more than basic understanding of how git works. You'll now be on the pulling end of a pull request, which means git's merge mechanics need to be understood.

I think you might have been comparing my fork of the program here, rather than my fork of gnucash-docs.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
David, I am not sure what is the best way to work on the new documentation with you. One way fo doing it would be for me to fork your personal repository into mine. I can then add the changes into your bug branch, push them to my PR and then create a pull request to your PR to pull the changes into that branch on your PR. We don't want any changes going back to the main Gnucash repository until they are completed and approved When that is the case I think it should be possible for a single pull request from your PR into the main Github repository to pull all changes through. Perhaps Geert or John can advise whether this is a sensible way to proceed. A lot of things will have to be synchronized when the new Guide document is complete (changes to links and sections on website, in the wiki describing the structure of the help manual and the guide, FAQs referencing it etc) and moved into the main documentation. If evryone is happy happy with this I will set it up on my end incorporate what I have done so far and perhaps adjust it to be a bit more consistent with the style and start sneding the changes through to you.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
David Main reason I pushed it through to the current Help manual is that I had it completed to slot in there already apart from a bit of minor debugging. If the current vesion of the guide continues for v3.3 I thought it was worth having it in the help manual at least. I agree it is really material for the guide. I had a look at your Github repository but I coudn't see a branch for the new guide and you were 139 commits behind the maint on the Gnucash github, so I figured it was easier to put it there and you can extract it from there. Changes are in Help_ch_Transactions.xml. I can send you the code that you can slot into an appropriate position in the guide or formulate it as a pull request. It is mainly and structures that should slot into an existing chapter structure without any problem. I'll attach the XML file here as well. There is one reference to a figure which is missing in the Import QIF section as for some reason i couldn't pull it off the wiki and a few points where a couple of pics of the import matcher would make things even clearer. I'll put together a patch for that. Probably worth waiting for the new guide to do that.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
David, A couple of points. Why not put this directly into the new chapter in the Guide, rather than into the Help? This is precisely the kind of detailed information that belongs IMHO in the Guide rather than Help. I know it’s not in Maint yet, but it will be shortly. Next, in the interest of completeness, your list should include *all* import formats, and stub sections for those formats later on. Someone else can provide detail later on, but the basic description needs to be complete. Otherwise, this looks great. Thanks!

David , I have completed the import section as an addition to the Help manual CH 6. I have put a pull request to gnucash-docs on Github to incorporate it into maint as the changes for the multiple selection may possibly go into the next release. Once it has been pulled into the main Github repository as Bug 796856. I think you will be able to get it by rebasing your repository to the maint branch of the gnucash-docs Github repository. I only know enough git to be dangerous so am not the best source of advice on how exactly to do that at this stage. I am starting to understand what is going on now. I have used git for quite a few years to my own repository but am now getting used to the 3 way operation for code and documentation updates to GnuCash.

Re: [GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
Frank, It's not in my repo because I couldn't get it to compile. To get it to compile, I had to incorporate the content of each file into ch_basics.xml. AFAICT, the new files, ch_importing.xml and ch_configuring.xml, are in my repo, attached to my bug-796855 branch. So are ch_accts.xml and ch_txns.xml, which in my branch are not used any more. If the general preference is to keep ch_accts.xml and ch_txns.xml as separate files, I don't know how to make them work. In that case, would I push these broken efforts to my own repo?

My fork of the documentation on github has a stub file for importing in the Guide. It currently has the text from Help on importing qif files, but will ideally include all the other pieces as well.

David, You would have to declare new entities for the files you wished to include in ch-basics within ch-basics put & statements in ch-basics then remove the and tags and contents at the chapter level in each of those files as well as removing the @entity statements and any !Entity definitions for the chapters you removed from gnucash-guide.xml. After removing the chapter and associated tags the included files will also have to fit into the defined structure for a chapter as defined by https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.0/chapter.html. That error usually indicates a formatting problem with the tags in an included entity. Preceding error messages usually definine exactly where. The altered files would of course have to be shifted from the Help directory to the guide directory and references in the gnucash-help.xml removed For your info I recently made changes to the import matcher code( Bug796778 to enable multiple selection of transactions and assignement of a single destination account to them). I was looking for the appropriate place to document them in the transactions section of the help manual and discovered that the importing had not been documented so I had nowhere to put the changes into. I started to prepare a change to the Help manual -Transactions chapter 6 covering importing from OFX/QFX, CSV, and QIF including the changes to the import matcher, which is nearly complete and fitted in before the stub that is there for online actions. As yet I haven't raised a documentation bug about that If you haven't started writing the importing section, I could feed what I have done so far to you for incorporation as you like. If the transactions chapter is going into the guide, it may be better to wait until you have shifted it and then insert it into the new Guide at an appropriate place rather than pull it into the current master.If I do that I think you would have to rebase to the current master to include my changes before committing your own chnages. John ralls may be able to advise us as to the best strategy.

[GNC-dev] Git Questions With Documentation
Hello, I am sending this message as a heads up that I am preparing a PR for bug 796855, which seeks to pull content from the Help Manual Chapter 3 and put it into the Guide in Chapter 2. In the course of doing this, a number of other changes were called for, such that I needed to add the beginnings of two new proposed chapters to the Guide: Importing Data (as suggested in bug 303164), and Configuring GnuCash (which ultimately will come from Help Chapter 10). Adding these chapters necessitated my editing gnucash-guide.xml to include these new chapters, and since I was tinkering with the overall structure of the Getting Started section of the Guide, I chose to incorporate the chapters on Accounts and Transactions into the Basics chapter, as proposed in bug 687820. I tried to retain ch_accts.xml and ch_txns.xml in gnucash-guide.xml and simply edit the three files so that they became parts of a single chapter, but this resulted in mysterious “Failure to process entity chapter2” errors that I was entirely unable to edit away, except by copying the content of those two files directly into ch_basics.xml. So much for the “Use separate files and link them in docbook” approach. Anyway, the PR has gotten entirely beyond my git skill set—meaning that, no matter what I do next, I will mess it up. My PR will have two new files to add to the repo, and ideally should have two files to remove from the repo, and I am unsure how to account for either circumstance. Advice?
