Like the Tutorial and the FAQ, we need help writing man pages
for GTK+ widgets.
I have written the gtk_button man page I had previously
suggested would be a good starting point (at the time,
I was misinformed, Trog indeed had already written one).
I feel that the man pages can serve as the reference section
of any larger manual written for GTK+. Therefore, the
man pages should be direct, to the point, and yet still
have enough information to be useful, including good
examples.
My initial version of gtk_button is at:
http://www.gtk.org/man/gtk_button.pod
If you don't feel like running pod2man or pod2txt (included with
Perl), you can view the text version too:
http://www.gtk.org/man/gtk_button.txt
What would make a better widget man page? Preferably you can make
suggestions in patches to the pod file, but general comments are
welcome as well. ;-)
