Distribution: Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16
Package: Yelp
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.6.2 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Gentoo Linux
Synopsis: no support for "info" pages, completely lacking in documentation
Bugzilla-Product: Yelp
Bugzilla-Component: Help converters
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Bugzilla-Keyword: doc
Description:
Language: any

Documentation chapter/section: n/a

Current text: n/a


Expected text: yelp should have a man page or in
/usr/share/doc/yelp/README or other file in that directory that says
what URIs the help browser can support. Reading the changelog suggested
that yelp would be able to display info pages, but no amount of
experimenting with URI paths (eg info:make, info:/usr/share/info/make,
info:/usr/share/info/make.info, etc etc) would get yelp to open the
document. It was only a throwaway comment in bug #140951 that mentions
that the code that calls yelp-info is commented out!


Additional Information:
I'm using yelp version 2.6.1 here. No idea if later versions are like
this, but you really need some help to let people know what yelp can and
can't currently do, especially if functionality it removed. It would
save a lot of wasted user time....
