Re: sect3 headers and Yelp

The project I am working on (GRAMPS - a GNOME genealogy program) has recently encountered a problem with GNOME 2.4 installations. On GNOME 2.4, "sect3" headings no longer show up in "yelp", and we can no longer use the gnome help functions to bring up yelp to a "sect3" location.

Our project is written in python, and we used to be able to do:

     gnome.help_display("gramps-manual","adv-pers")

This would bring up yelp to the "adv-pers" tag (a sect3 heading) in the manual. Under GNOME 2.4, it goes to the top of the document. This makes the context-sensitive help pretty much useless.

When the same code and same manual are run under GNOME 2.2, we get to the correct heading.

Is this a Yelp problem, or has something else changed?

In regards to this problem, I stumbled upon bug #114117 and the relevant discussion on this list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2003-May/msg00036.html

It sees that the intention was to have no change in behavior for app developers, but sadly it's not there yet.

Could you please orient us as to when we should expect the correct behavior with displaying sect3 level headings?

We are releasing our stable version soon. Releasing it with broken help links is not a nice thing to do for our users.

Please help!

Thanks,
Alex
