Description Marios Zindilis 2009-03-28 21:00:48 UTC
Documentation 
Section: Taking Screenshots
#: C/gostools.xml:209(para)
msgid "Takes a screenshot and adds a shadow bevel effect arround it."

and then 

#: C/gostools.xml:219(para)
msgid "Takes a screenshot and adds a border effect arround it."

Correct version:
#: C/gostools.xml:209(para)
msgid "Takes a screenshot and adds a shadow bevel effect around it."

and then 

#: C/gostools.xml:219(para)
msgid "Takes a screenshot and adds a border effect around it."

Is it a word if it's not in Merriam-Webster? Still gives 1.6 million results in Google though :)

Fixes bug 577126 and 577168

This patch fixes this bug with the "around" typo, and also fixes Bug 577168.  I also added support for the GNOME Docs Project Pulse and put it in "review" state.

Please review and commit as I do not have commit access.

Thanks for the patch, Paul.

The update to gnome2-user-guide/C/gostools.xml looks fine, and should be applied.

I'm not sure about the update to gnome2-user-guide/C/gosbasic.xml. The preferred term in the Style Guide is "drag", not "click-and-drag". Maybe we should just remove the spurious "Click and drag" and leave the left-column text as "Drag". (N.B. I noticed an unrelated grammar mistake in this section: "The left mouse buttons is usually used")

The update to gnome2-user-guide/C/gosstartsession.xml looks good.

You're right about click and drag - I will change this back to drag and submit a new patch tonight.

Fix 1st patch - "drag"

The first patch attached to this bug report should be applied, and then this patch to fix "Click-and-drag" and the typo per Phil's comments.

I apologize, I'm still learning SVN, and when I applied the patch, it didn't patch the other files.
