There should be a better way to meet the needs of mac users than a macOS
edition in https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/.
Other applications manage to produce one set of docs for different
OSs, even if linux screenshots look a bit strange to say Windows users. It
will leave mac users with a general feeling of discontent there are no
current guides for their application/language. I suggest it should be
independent of current guides and the documents should be reviewed in the
context of better meeting macOS needs.
The whole guide preparation process is pretty impressive. Maybe OS-specific
keys and screenshots could be scripted in future guides for custom editions
but I doubt it is justified.
If we add a control variable that hides or show sections/paragraphs
depending on the OS, documents will go into a very complex and fragile
management scheme where mistakes (e.g. deletion of a controlled
paragraph) are easily introduced and unnoticed. Debugging a long
document like our guides will be unpleasant at best.
Technically speaking, LibreOffice has all tools for document management
(version control, fields, track-changes...) but our team must get used
to and it is also a entry barrier for newcomers.
The Help has a control scheme (<switch>, <switchinline>) for macOS where
Ctrl key is changed to Command key and the menu "Tools-Option" is
changed to "LibreOffice - Preferences". Those are 99.99% of all
differences in Help between OS versions.
Regards
PS: @Jean: you may want to do a search "Tools - Option" in the macOS
version.
