I am also a newbie to NetBeans and I would like to use it for C/C++, and I am actually having a bit of success though with one or two snags.If I could find tutorials covering general, language independent, use of the Netbeans interface and also basic C/C++ use I would give them a go.I cannot pr

Because on GitHub, the format and language used is Asciidoc, not HTML. And that is where the tutorials are now, on GitHub. We created a tool that converts from HTML to Asciidoc and that process did not go perfectly, so the screenshots are messed up, and we need to manually fix that. Indeed, pointi

Thank you all for your answers and the links. Geertjan, I do not understand why the transfer to Apache is so complex and needs to change from html format to asciidoc format, thus removing the screenshots, but this is beyond the scope of this mail. Of course, screenshots are welcome, but not ne

Would this help any? https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/pull/533 Since the links in the index.asciidoc were referencing html and not new asciidoc file names, I swapped .html to .asciidoc Eric Bresie ebre...@gmail.com (mailto:ebre...@gmail.com) > On March 6, 2021 at 1:58:57 PM CST, Geer

That's nice but what's needed is that we pitch in and review the tutorials together, please. Your proposed solution here will entail that the tutorials will never get updated -- unless you assume that I'll be doing that on my own without your involvement? Here's the one that's been discussed in t

Don't know if this helps. Whenever I use a system, a.k.a, Netbeans, I attempt to download everything in site. Just because I spend most of life living under a rock with pretensions of paranoia. With this in mind, I have all the Netbeans documentation given with distributions (8.2, 9.0, 11.0, 12

Everything as it was before worked fine for you. Not for me. :-) I was working on them all on my own -- and that is not how open source is supposed to work. We're in Apache now, which means you get involved -- you don't say "I do not know where and how to fill an issue", instead you say: "Where do

Hello Geertjan. Netbeans Platform concepts are not easy to understand (I have purchased the book for beginners), and wrong tutorials are rather discouraging. I do not know where and how to fill an issue, and I discovered the problem for the XML editor tutorial this evening. The old tutorial has g

Which screenshots specifically are wrong — I’d be happy to collaborate with you to work on the tutorials that you would like fixed. If you create a new issue for each tutorial you’d like to work together on, with very precise descriptions of what is wrong, ideally providing the correct screenshot o
