GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 743562
Document signature support
Last modified: 2015-01-29 22:28:35 UTC
We need to add to the documentation an explanation about adding a signature to the account, as well as how HTML signatures work when those land (bug #738895). This can go in "Accounts". There should be a note in "Write a message" that directs the user to look in "Accounts" for more information about automatically adding a signature to messages.
Created attachment 295554 [details] [review] Document HTML signatures I tried to avoid too many details about the escaping, to avoid scaring people who don't need to worry about it. But I'm not sure that this is the right balance.
Yeah, let's assume people who want to use HTML signatures know what they're doing. It's enough to mention HTML is supported. This looks good to me. Something's not quite right about "Coding line breaks and hard spaces is not required." ... How about: You may use HTML tags to style the text. (You don't need to use HTML or hard spaces, however.) Something like that. (By hard spaces, you mean nonbreaking spaces, correct?) This isn't vital, just something I tripped on when I was reading it. The positions of the buttons may need to be reworded, depending on how the final patch lands.
Created attachment 295614 [details] [review] Document HTML signatures After further thought, I don't think we need that sentence at all. As people go to add style to their signatures, they aren't going think, "Oh, now that I'm writing HTML, I have to put line breaks in explicitly." They're just going to add whatever tag they need and hit preview. Since we handle the whitespace for them, they're not going to even notice that something special is happening. My only worry is that this behavior is a bit different that in the .signature file, but I don't think people that use this will be playing with the UI editor.
