I will try the text file route for the SAMPLE file.
To my knowledge I pulled everything. The command I used was:
"svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk GC-docs"
I did not use the quotes shown above.
Do you think that revision 19355 was the proper one to use? I am expecting
that it was the most recent at least at the time I pulled the docs. Would
that be a correct expectation?
This is a correct expectation. Your checkout command is also completely
correct.
Tom: thanks! Glad to have that confirmed.
Do you intend to work on the documentation on a Windows or Linux computer? If
a Windows one, you would need some text editor program as well, such as
UltraEdit or Notepad++ or similar, or even the editor of an IDE such as MS
Visual Studio. On Linux this would be Kate, or GEdit, or Emacs, or similar. Do
you have any of those already installed? For any of the somehow weird error
messages you quoted below, you can always open the complained file with one of
these text editors, and should be able to see some of the "plain text" around
the place where the error occurred.
I am working on linux currently. I do have gedit text editor
installed. If I shifted to Windows, I could also use psPad, a
programmer's text editor -- very nice.
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;
--------^
In this and the following errors, one possible workaround is to open the file
Help_ch_Account-Actions.xml in a text editor, go to line number 219, and
delete the string&chartacctseg; so that at least you can continue to work.
Before submitting a patch, you should check whether this error still occurs.
In case you didn't find any other solution, you can still submit the patch but
notify us of this workaround so that we can remove the workaround before
submitting this into SVN.
thanks, especially for the above. I did not recognize that what you
said would be possible.
In the meantime, before seeing your advice, I did another svn checkout
thinking that maybe something was corrupted in the interim and that a
later checkout would not have the problem. The only message I got is
that I now have revision 19360. Apparently, that revision overlaid
revision 19355, which I was working with previously. I have not had a
chance to see if the error carried forward into 19360.
Do you agree that 19360 overlaid 19355 and I did not harm? Or should I
delete the entire folder and start over with whatever version is current
when I get the old folder removed?
Tom
Regards,
Christian
