Since I had a little bit of extra time today, I decided that I would make some minor changes to my OpenBox3 HOWTO. Though it has not yet been committed to the official documentation repository, I do think it is finally in a “publishable” state. The changes that were made to this third draft from the second one were:
- Fixed some grammatical errors
- Updated package list information
- Added note about keywording/unmasking packages
- Changed xorg-x11 references to xorg-server
- Added a nicer example of menu.xml entries
I’m still wanting to add some links to the relevant portions of the Handbook for the sections on keywording and unmasking packages. However, when I try to link to the Gentoo Handbook which is broken down in specific chapters and sections (“perfect for online viewing”), I get XML parsing errors regarding the equal signs contained in the links. For instance, the URL for keywording section is:
gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3#doc_chap2
Also, I should note that the draft on my Gentoo Developer page is NOT current. I will update it as soon as I can, but I don’t have my keys on this work laptop. 😉
That’s all for now, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! 🙂

P.S. Just for reference, the previous drafts and the progress of my OpenBox3 HOWTO can be found in Gentoo Bug #256693.

Thanks a bunch Josh! I will make those revisions then and upload the new version (in plain text ;)).
Normally = signs don’t have any problems being parsed. What’ll really screw you up are the ampersands in the URIs. Those you’ll have to escape with & entities. So this:
*part=3&chap*
…becomes this:
*part=3&chap*
If you need any other help doing GuideXML stuff, be sure to stay on #gentoo-doc; we’re happy to assist ya.
Thanks Christian. That’s one of the changes that I made when I did this third revision. I lumped that one in the “updated package list information” section. 🙂 There are things that I like about tint2, and things that I don’t like. I am really happy that it is available though. 🙂
JFYI tint2 is now in gentoo-x86 🙂
