[libreoffice-documentation] GS6003 - Sryles and Templates -- Repository in Templates dialog
Hi all, The section "Adding templates obtained from other sources" of "GS6003 - Sryles and Templates" chapter has mention about Repository: "If you have enabled experimental features in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced, the Templates dialog shows a Repository button that you can use to add other template repositories. As this is an experimental feature, it may not work reliably." Now this button is not available, no matter experimental features is enabled or not. We should remove the mention of not confusing the beginner.

[libreoffice-documentation] GS 6.0 - Chapter 16 (Appendix B)
Hi all, I make a translate of this Chapter and see paralogism. In the paragraph "How is LibreOffice licensed?" talks about MPL. And the next paragraph talk about principles in GPL. There is nothing explanations about that MPL and GPL are copyleft and interchangeable. However, the user, especially one that is just starting way into the Open Source Software, does not have to know the subtleties of licensing. If you strictly do not want to say that LibreOffice is licensed under two licenses MPL and GPL (and this is so, see the code), this requires at least to clarify that the licenses are very similar and compatible. Otherwise, it's just not clear. How is LibreOffice licensed? LibreOffice is distributed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL) 2.0. See https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/licenses/ What is “open source”? The four essential rights of open-source software are embodied within the Free Software Foundation’s General Public License (GPL): Best regards, Lera -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Do I understand correctly that it is for this reason the functions in Writer tables are called formulas? :) https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/main0214.html Although in the other place they are called all the same functions. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/02/1402.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Note: it is without some [NoRuntime], or [NoCalc]. or even [Writer]. > So I humbly beg to differ on the obstruction the reading of the Help. It > does not affect my reading. In the letter Jean-Francois Nifenecker talks about his book and lists the names of the chapters. One of the chapters has the title "5 - Runtime Library". https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/msg11968.html I have not read his book, but I guess he does not write about a Runtime Library. Most likely he chose this name only because after each function in the help we use the term Runtime. In addition, I really do not understand why the user should confuse functions from different modules. For example: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03080102.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id3154923 Nowhere is it said that this is a function of Basic, and a beginner may not even know that we note the functions of this module by the strange expression [Runtime]. But the user still understands what he reads about the Basic function. And I think that it would be more useful to specify explicitly: "A function Basic that calculates the cosine of an angle." Instead of no one understandable [Runtime]. > And please note that a change like this will trigger a set of > translation rework. Yes, we need to think about translation, and in this case it's 700+ lines. But we also need to think about how to take out a garbage in time. Otherwise, we will have only the garbage. PS: I added Jean-Francois Nifenecker to CC. May be he knows what means [Runtime]. Because for me it still looks like "Cos Function [👌]" Best regards, Lera -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-documentation] Runtime functions
Hi all, I would like to raise the issue of using a word "Runtime" with a name of functions in LibreOffice help. There are several meanings of this word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runtime_library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runtime_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_time_(program_lifecycle_phase) Are there functions in Basic to other time of the lifecycle? I do not quite understand the reason for using this term in the help. I assume that the authors of the old help wanted to emphasize that those are built-in functions which translated into bytecode. Or in other words it is a function of execution environment. But does it make sense to use this term beside to each function? In my opinion, [Runtime] obstructs reading the help. Is there a reason to save this word in the help beside each function? If there is no reason to save it, I will prepare a patch to remove it from the help.

I do not think that the excessive use of "you" is good style. But team has to
decide this.
In any case, I do not see such much of "you" in popular science journals
(which have been writing really beautiful and plain language) and technical
documentation (that does not use "you" never).
PS: I am not native English speaker, of course.

View for mobile platforms should not be in the design for desktop, but we need to install an extension for these platforms. As far as I know, there is such extension for MediaWiki. About . Yes, I agree with you. It is desirable to move all styles into the template. But, who will develop the template now?

I agree with you partly. And I think that links in a title of a table isn't a good idea. But wiki pages in the section EN use LibreOfficeColor-backgrond2 and LibreOfficeColor-fontcolor templates. And we should use them in order to our designers can change style in all pages easier. I think that this question makes sense to raise in mail list Desing (des...@global.libreoffice.org).
