OOo isn't a gnome application, Yelp is for gnome applications whose help documentation is written in xml located in /usr/share/gnome/help/foo/ DevHelp is similiary an application to show Gnome developer documentation written in a special format.
Marking this bug invalid. |

It's true that Yelp is a GNOME application however I believe that you may be wrong to say that because of this it doesn't support documentation for programs other than GNOME. For example, it provides access to all 'man' pages on my system, which are clearly not GNOME. Also, Yelp implements support for the Rarian documentation metadata system, which is an initiative of Freedesktop.org, aiming to be desktop-agnostic, i.e. it is not limited to only KDE or only GNOME (and this is a successor to Scrollkeeper, which was the same).
If Ubuntu doesn't provide a unified way for such -doc packages' files to be accessible from a unified 'librarian' program, then I will report this elsewhare. But I believe that Rarian is performing exactly this role. |

Yelp is not just a Gnome application it is a Gnome application to view documentation written in the Gnome help format. It also has parsers written to view man and GNU info pages. I don't see anything in Yelp that doesn't fall into one of those categories so I highly doubt it has some manner to view random -doc packages.
If you can point me in the direction of a non-gnome application that has its help in a format that Yelp can read that isn't man or info pages then I will look at its packaging to see if OOo can be conformed to display in a similar manner.
Thanks,
Chris |
