Re: [gedit-list] gedit tasks (user documentation for the plugins)

[Irene Ryan <irene ryan sun com>]

Hi Paolo, Ajit,

Yes, I think it's a good idea to include some more user information on
using plugins in the gedit Manual. There were several sections on
plugins in the main Usage section of the document initially but they
seemed to detract from the core gedit functionality so I took them out
and replaced them with a brief explanation of what each plugin is. I
think the new section on plugins should go into a separate section of
the online help manual as it will describe additional functionality that
some users may never use. 

Ajit, if you can gather the technical details about how to use each
plugin and then send it me, I will incorporate the information into the
existing manual. I may need to rewrite the information for consistent
style and language. Are you familiar with XML? If you want you could
write up the information in text format and I can import it to XML.

Regards,
-Irene
