GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 302216
garbage characters in gnometris help
Last modified: 2005-05-09 20:28:56 UTC
Distribution/Version: Garnome 2.10.1 (on Mandrake) compiled garnome 2.10.1 and the help for Gnometris has a mess of odd characters in it. Also the first page of the manual is labelled as "Unknown". Screenshots to follow.
Created attachment 45747 [details] screenshot of help showing garbage characters and "Unknown" at the top of the index
Created attachment 45748 [details] another screenshot showing more garbage characters
Alan: I don't see how this could be Gnometris' fault, since those bits with the garbage characters are handled by Yelp itself. For what it's worth: - Does this happen with all of the games help files? All of GNOME? Just Gnometris? - Do you only see this under your notoriusly bad GARNOME setup? :)
This only occurs in Gnometris, the other games are fine. I guessed there might be something wrong with the files being used to generate the documentation. I dont think this has anything at all to do with my flakey garnome setup. Why is the first page of the index listed as Unknown? Was that just an accidentally bad choice of page name?
Re-assigning to Yelp, but only because this looks very similar to Bug #300052 and may get set as a duplicate by them. Also, I don't know why there's the title of "Unknown" there, but I see it in my FC4test install too, but it's not restricted to gnome-games. I see it in gedit, eog, etc.
The 'Unknown' happened because Yelp failed to extract titles for the sidebar from articleinfo elements, and this help file only sets the title in articleinfo, not in article. This shouldn't happen anymore with a recent Yelp. The other problem is indeed the same as #300052, so I'm marking this a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 300052 ***
