Re: Some Assistance Please

I can't say what's wrong with DocBook, because using Org is a personal preference of mine, so first and most important: This is personal opinion. * Pros of Org Mode - Org Mode's markup is easier to understand and start using. No need to remember tag names (at least for most used formating

Thank you Derek, This improves my understanding of the current situation considerably. Certainly as I noted, I have no issue using the present methods. Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Regards, Adrien > On May 25, 2017, at 9:45 AM, Derek Atkins wrote: > >

Re: Some Assistance Please

There's no good way to translate from Wiki to PDF Really? PDF can handle hard links within a document. Reference books with linearly organized chapters and cross-references have been around since before the Bible. Understandably, the wiki is spineless and completely semantic in the way its pages

Thanks for replies. I had previously confirmed my email, but I tried again now and it works, and I made a first edit at the page named "Concept Guide" to clarify that the page is to be about development of the GnuCash Tutorial and Concept Guide. I also revised the Introduction and set up a

Wow the process to change documentation (at http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions ) seems pretty complicated, even impossible for Windows users. I would hope it should be possible to have a full working version of the Tutorial and Concepts Guide that is open for

Re: Wiki decision workflow; was: Some Assistance Please

So, apparently, there is a decision-making process in place. I’m not sure how it might be improved, since this is quite literally the first I have heard about it. Since you seem to be one of the folks in charge of the decisions on the wiki, perhaps *you* might consider how to improve the

Re: Some Assistance Please

Frank, I don't know what you mean by "ninja status", and I don't particularly care, but I do know that without some mechanism for resolving disagreements on content, a wiki doesn't really function well, since it leaves the resolution of such disagreements to the person who is willing to push

David, I am really sorry, but you and 2 other authors got by accident a ninja-like status for a few month in the wiki. So your changes did not appear on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges . Else we would have given you earlier some advice, were we thought your changes might have

Hello, Once again, the documentation bug has bit me, and I am trying to use the accepted GnuCash toolset to implement a change to the Guide. Most recently, this toolset has been changed to use “make”, and when I attempt to refresh my memory by going to the wiki page, I fail to find an
