Hello,

Thanks Jeremy for your encouragement to contributing to darktable user manual.

Following your suggestion I merged your additions and my explanation and reworked the result into a text hopefully conformant to docbook and dartable documentation conventions.

I'd like to check it by locally building the user manual before submitting a pull request.

Alas I can't generate documentation. Cmake says:

-- Could NOT find Java (missing:  Java_JAR_EXECUTABLE Java_JAVAC_EXECUTABLE 
Java_JAVAH_EXECUTABLE Java_JAVADOC_EXECUTABLE) (found version "1.7.0.65")

I followed http://darktable.org/redmine/projects/users/wiki/Translating_the_usermanual and doc/usermanual/README.

In particular:

sudo apt-get install xsltproc fop gnome-doc-utils

And notice that manually running Java works.

java -version

java version "1.7.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) (7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)


I looked at cmake/modules/FindSaxon.cmake but am now clueless.

Thanks!

I would personnaly add it either to chapter 9 (special topics) or to a new chapter (frequently asked questions, that we could develop separately)

Ulrich Pegelow is our usermanual-master, and his opinion is the one you should most likely follow, but I don't think placement is that important for the moment it can easily be changed after the fact.

And yes, github pull requests is a great way to contribute to the user manual

        Your explanation was really good, it would be awesome if you
        could add it as a wiki page (and/or a section in the usermanual)


    Thank you.

    The documentation may make more sense than the wiki.

    I see that the manual source is in git, so I can contribute
    through this channel.
    According to http://www.darktable.org/development/ I should
    contribute to master branch and a pull request on github is fine.

    Now, where to put the explanation ?

    http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch03s02.html.php "3.2.
    Darkroom concepts" ?
    http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch03s03s03.html.php "3.3.3.
    History stack" ?
    http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch03s04.html.php "3.4. Modules" ?

    There are other options: add a subsection in one of those, add a
    new section "module apply order" or similar, make a link to it in
    other places.

    Any hint appreciated.

    Regards,
