Configure gedit for documentation
I’ve been maintaining the gedit documentation since the run-up to the gedit 3.0 release, and doing so has helped me to get to know some of the ins-and-outs of the program. What can I say, it’s one of the perks of writing documentation – you get to know the software that you’re documenting. With that, [...]

Duck, Duck, Gnu: Mallard and DocBook 5 support in Emacs
