Re: [Ubuntu-manual] Gummi

As others have already mentioned, I don't think anyone has looked at Gummi too closely yet. The main issue with Gummi is that it doesn't have buttons for, say, our GUI macros (e.g., \textbox, \button, \checkbox). In addition, the Ubuntu Manual markup changes slightly from cycle to cycle: new macro

Re: [Ubuntu-manual] Installation of TexLive on Saucy alpha 1

Jim, Are you installing TeX Live 2013 from upstream or using the Ubuntu packages? I installed TeX Live 2013 on my laptop last week to test things out. The glossaries package has a bug in it that prevents the manual from compiling. I've written some code to work around the bug (but apparently have

Re: [Ubuntu-manual] Glossary issue (was: Re: Installation of TexLive on Saucy alpha 1 )
