<br>
I am looking for guidance on documentation.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Can you elaborate on the kind of guidance you need, please?</div><div>Basically, docs sources are in <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation</a> repository and clicking the "Fix Me" link at the bottom of any online doc page should bring you to the page source.</div><div>we have also set some guidelines at <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/index.html">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/index.html</a> if you want more details but the docs team remains available if you need some particular help.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
The help for the delimited text provider has largely got lost between versions 2 and 3. In version 3 is defined in<br>
<br>
QgsHelp::openHelp( QStringLiteral( "managing_data_source/opening_<wbr>data.html#importing-a-<wbr>delimited-text-file" ) );<br>
<br>
This links to the QGIS documentation now (after I fixed the url) but that is very brief.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Unfortunately it would not be the single broken link but this is a long standing issue I stopped to chase and raise.</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
In version 2 this served as reference documentation for the provider, including documentation on the url for constructing programmatically as well as the GUI information. While this is too much information for many users I would like it to go somewhere<br>
This could certainly be broken up into a number of cross referenced items.<br>
<br>
So I am wondering where this should go now! And what I need to do to get it there.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I gave a quick look to the 2.18 context help and indeed looks like there's a lot of valuable information we can move to the online docs. From what I see I think changes could go to:</div><div>- <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/opening_data.html#importing-a-delimited-text-file">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/opening_data.html#importing-a-delimited-text-file</a></div><div>- <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/supported_data.html#delimited-text-files">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/supported_data.html#delimited-text-files</a></div><div>- and somewhere in the PyQGIS cookbook but I don't know the logic of structuring this document and it does not really get updates for 3, yet. Maybe somewhere around <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/loadlayer.html">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/loadlayer.html</a>?</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps, otherwise feel free to ask.</div><div>And thanks for offering your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Harrissou<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Thanks<br>
