Hi,

I am sending this to the developer's list because in building a patch, that when successful will be sent here, I encountered some problems that raised some questions for me.

I was successful in using "svn" to copy gnucash-docs to my computer.

Following your advice, I focused on these two directories: GUIDE/C and HELP/C.

1.  In guide/C I found only this problem:
Could not display "/home/tbullock/GC-docs/guide/C/gnc_Sample_QIF.qif".
            There is no application installed for Quicken Document Files.

This really is not a problem with the Sample file, but a lack of appropriate software to access its content.

Can you point me to the software needed to use the file? I am concerned that without access to its content, I will likely miss or misunderstand something in the present documentation.

2. In help/C I found 3 XML parsing errors, though the specifics of the errors are unique to each file in which they appear.

Example 1 for help/C:
            XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: file:///home/tbullock/GC-docs/help/C/Help_ch_Account-Actions.xml
            Line Number 219, Column 2: &chartacctseg;
                                                        --------^

Example 2 for help/C:
            XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: file:///home/tbullock/GC-docs/help/C/Help_ch_Customize.xml
            Line Number 1416, Column 2: &txf-categories;
                                                           --------^

Example 3 for help/C:
            XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: file:///home/tbullock/GC-docs/help/C/Help_ch_GettingStarted.xml
            Line Number 139, Column 1:<chapter id="getting-started">
                                                               ^
The other files seem free of such errors.

Not knowing XML, how do I get these corrected/removed?
Should they be removed before proceeding with my patch?
When I used SVN to place these files on my computer on Friday, July 9, I got no error messages. The only message I got was that I had checked out "revision 19355". Is that the version I should have checked out?

Your guidance much appreciated. If these are to be fixed and I do have the correct revision, then I could incorporate the fixes for those errors if someone tells me how to do it.

Tom
