How do I translate a document to HTML from the command line? BTW: something I read a while ago on Planet GNOME: http://thedocsbook.org/blog/2015-02-23-reflecting-on-feedback/ "In terms of modifying the appearance of our help, their technical writers found it difficult to modify the CSS that we use. Cosimo noted that the CSS for our help is not stored in a single file, nor even a single directory - it's partly embedded in Yelp's XSLT. While not always ideal, there are reasons for this. For example, if a person's visual impairment requires that they use GNOME's High Contrast GTK theme, Yelp will pick up the theme change and will use a corresponding color scheme when it renders the help for that user. Similarly, if a user sets their default system language to a Right-to-Left-based language (such as Arabic), Yelp will also pick up that change, and will display the help in the appropriate Right-to-Left manner automatically." -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
