Description Bryce Nesbitt 2005-12-15 19:20:57 UTC

When I visit the Gnumeric Manual, and click on any heading, I get
something that looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><!-- -*- indent-tabs-mode: nil -*- -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:yelp="http://www.gnome.org/yelp/ns"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
                extension-element-prefixes="yelp"
                version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="search-header.xsl"/>
<xsl:param name="help_icon"/>
<xsl:param name="help_icon_size"/>

<xsl:param name="yelp.javascript"/>
<xsl:param name="yelp.topimage"/>
...


Note: Gnumeric also crashes when saving certain Excel format files.

Click in the main pane... clicking on the left works.

It is known that the Excel-export in gnumeric doesn't work to well. But this is because this is a closed format. I don't think there is much we can do here or could spend so much time to enhance this support.

The manual appears to be in XML format. I don't know if this is a problem, reassigning. I can call the help page and it gets parsed correctly...

I'd like the gnome-maintainers to comment this as well.

Excel export has nothing to do with this.

This is simply a broken help file.

I think this is probably solved now with susehelp updates and the fix in bug 142827.
