This document is written in Docbook XML. The source file for it is located in the
subdirectory "doc" of the source directory of Geany.
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 Geany to build HTML pages and a text file.
Your updated HTML docs will end up in the ./html
directory.
To generate a PDF file, use the command "make pdf" which should generate a
file called geany-0.11.pdf
.
After you are happy with your changes, create a patch:
%
svn diff geany.docbook > whatever.patch
and then submit that file to the mailing list for review.
Note, you will need the docbook-xml and xmlto software packages installed to build the docs.
