GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700797
Documentation of hyperlinks and comments is incomplete.
Last modified: 2013-05-27 00:28:29 UTC
Created attachment 244975 [details] Insert Comment dialog. The existing documentation for the Edit and Insert menus concerning hyperlinks and comments is very sparse. The attachments document most existing features of those interfaces. The "Working with Data" section of the manual ends in a pair of empty sections titled "Adding a Comment to a Cell" and "Adding a Hyperlink to a Cell". Would it be better to move most of the new material to those sections and link to them from the menu entry descriptions?
Created attachment 244976 [details] Insert Hyperlink dialog.
The attachments I see are just images of the two dialogs. What do you mean with "The attachments document most existing features of those interfaces"? Is something missing. I think the menu descriptions should ideally be very short and the dialogs and general concepts should be desribed in their own section.
Created attachment 244985 [details] [review] Missing patch for Comments/Hyperlinks docs. Sorry about the delay - I'm new to git, and I was having a hard time producing a patch that would apply cleanly.
Would you prefer that I move the dialog descriptions to the empty sections under "Working with Data"?
I would greatly appreciate having the dialog descriptions in sub sections of 'Working with Data'. We should also add a section 'Defining names' and move most things associated with names into that section do that DataEntry/FormulaElements/Names as well as the menu descriptions primarily refer to that new section. Thanks
Created attachment 245305 [details] [review] Updated patch for Comments/Hyperlinks/Names docs. This moves all the detailed discussion of Comments, Hyperlinks, and Names to the Working with Data section.
Created attachment 245306 [details] Edit Modify Names dialog. This doesn't seem to have made it into git, and I have updated it with new window decoration that is less obviously Ubuntu.
Created attachment 245307 [details] Insert Comment dialog.
Created attachment 245308 [details] Insert Hyperlink dialog.
Thank you for your patch and images. They have been committed. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
