** Patch added: "A patch against the current version in Natty, fixing this 
issue"
   
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/695069/+attachment/1778147/+files/gnome-doc-tool.in.diff

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils
  
  I have recently been attempting to export the documentation (created in 
Mallard) of a project on which I have been working to html using 
gnome-doc-utils but gnome-doc-tools consistently fails to convert the .page 
files, producing the following error:
  gnome-doc-tool: 1: Bad substitution
  and others leading from it.
  
  This is due to gnome-doc-tool's urlencode and urldecode function making
  use of a feature specific to the bash shell (c=${arg:$i:1}) to select a
- character from a string where as the script's shell is specified as
+ character from a string whereas the script's shell is specified as
  /bin/sh. I have attached a patch which replaces all instances of this by
  using the standard Unix cut utility which should completely fix this
  issue.
