[Qgis-community-team] macros for GUI and text

[Tara Athan]

There are two groups of conventions- those that reproduce the appearance 
of GUI items, and those that use fonts to distinguish between different 
text items.

The GUI-related macros will be just as simple or complex as the GUI itself.
I am fine with using the same macro for dialog and toolbtn.
Toolbox, as in the GRASS toolbox, is very different (see last e-mail 
with subject conventions)

Regarding the text items, perhaps we can simplify these, or separate 
some of them.  A new user is probably not going to need the conventions 
for class and method, and I have yet to see where server and sqltable 
come up. I just copied these from Gary's macros. I would prefer not to 
put boxes around these, and there are only so many fonts and styles to use.

Regarding the \url style.  This appears to be a built-in style that 
creates a hyperlink in the HTML. However, in the pdf version, the 
hyperlinks are not active. Is this a deficiency in the conversion 
process?  And is it possible to change the appearance of the links (say, 
underlined)?
