The source file for it is located in the
subdirectory "doc" of the source directory of <spanclass="application">Geany</span>.
If you intend on making changes, you should grab the source right from SVN to make
sure you have got the newest version. After editing that file, to build the docs and
see how your changes look, run "make doc" in the subdirectory "doc" of the source
directory of <spanclass="application">Geany</span> to build HTML pages and a text file.
Your updated HTML docs will end up in the <codeclass="filename">./html</code> directory.
To generate a PDF file, use the command "make pdf" which should generate a
file called <codeclass="filename">geany-0.11.pdf</code>.
</p><p>After you are happy with your changes, create a patch:
