Re: Change .page, see result

[Jim Campbell <jcampbell gnome org>]

Hi Hannie,

If you're working on a file that will be part of (for example) gedit, and you've cloned the gedit repository, the documentation would be in gedit/help/C.  You'd place your new "page" file in the gedit/help/C directory, and then do "yelp gedit/help/C" and it will launch all of the gedit help, including the new page file that you just wrote.

You can also launch the individual page by doing 'yelp gedit/help/C/my-new-page.page'

If you keep yelp running, it will continually refresh your updated 'page' every time that you save it.

I hope this helps!

Jim

If that is a standard Git checkout, then there is simply no file called
"gs-use-system-search.page" in the top folder of "gnome-getting-
started". Hence Yelp cannot offer files that do not exist.

Pressing "Ctrl+L" in Yelp will tell you the location. :)
