[Qgis-community-team] Manuals and help

[samuelmesa at gmail.com]

I managed through a small Python script to get some the html help of SAGA in
the sextant syntax:

Script [1]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5863377/
Sextant html file [2]: http://goo.gl/Sr12A

But there are some html files with errors due to special characters such as
"/, (,)" in command names.

To test this help should only copy the folder in the path:

/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/sextant/saga/

I hope this can be a small solution for the moment.

Regards,

Samuel Mesa.

> Paolo, recently I'm trying to explore the help of SAGA for Sextante, and

> saga_cmd [-d], [--docs]   : create module documentation in current working

> Which you can get the following HTML files:

> I have seen that these files could be located in the folder /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/sextante/saga/help/
> (Linux), obviously must rename each html file by the name of the command

> However, I would suggest modifying the python file [1] to help organize
> files by folder module and not the entire list of html files in a single
> folder?.

>> Hi all.
>> As you know, help is missing for most sextante modules, with the notable

>> GRASS. I'm about to start searching for people interested in contributing
>> help pages.
>> Before doing that, I would like to clarify one point, that could

>> I think the help pages for the modules are also interesting for the

>> beginning, an make one of the two take the pages from the other.
>> I know the style could be different between the two, but I do not think

>> The pages are here:
>> https://github.com/volaya/SEXTANTE-Help
>> What is opinion? The issue is important, as IMHO this is a stumbling
>> block preventing

>> Thanks in advance.
