new feature: how to document it?

[lmamane]

It turns out, "git grep" does not go into submodules

I was doing:

$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'
$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source' -- helpcontent2/

This got me going:

$ cd helpcontent2 && git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'

Are the identifiers like id="par_id3154206" essentially random (and I
can just put other random ones for new paragraphs), or do they have
some hidden meaning (and then please explain me how to generate the id
for a paragraph I'm adding).

Thanks in advance,

Hi Lionel,

One last question: where can I edit the help to document a new feature
I'm introducing (namely, the option that the storage value is the
index in the list)? I grepped for a string that appears in the right
help page, but no result. In particular, I did not find it in the
"helpcontent2" directory. Also, do we have our fork of the<
OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide?

When I'm editing the properties of a listbox,
in the data tab and I press "F1" I get a new window entitled
"LibreOffice Help - LibreOffice Base", with content like below. That's
what I intended to change.

I tried grepping for "allows you to assign a data source" in the
LibreOffice source code to find the file I'm supposed to change, no
luck.

It turns out, "git grep" does not go into submodules

I was doing:

$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'
$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source' -- helpcontent2/

This got me going:

$ cd helpcontent2 && git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'

Are the identifiers like id="par_id3154206" essentially random (and I
can just put other random ones for new paragraphs), or do they have
some hidden meaning (and then please explain me how to generate the id
for a paragraph I'm adding).

I get it too with in share/02 file 01170102.xhp par_id3155306 2 help.text
In id="par_xxx", the 'par' part indicate a paragraph, and the 'xxx' part
can be any random numbers, but must be unique in the .xhp file.

Kind regards
Sophie
