Yelp is a help browser for GNOME 2.4 which supports DocBook documents, man and info.

Yelp provides a simple graphical interface for viewing DocBook, HTML, man, and info formatted documentation. The name Yelp was suggested by Daniel Lundin. Yelp is pronounced the same as the swedish word for 'help'.

Requirements:
GNOME 2.0 ( >= 2.0.2 )
A working ScrollKeeper installation ( > 0.3.14 )
GNOME Documentation Utilities (gnome-doc-utils > 0.5.2)
Version 4.1.2 of the DocBook XML DTD

Note that Yelp requires gnome-doc-utils for the DocBook XSLT stylesheets. These stylesheets are optimized for speed and allow better integration with Yelp.

The GNOME project provides two things:

Here are some key features of "GNOME":
Free

GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, their software, and their data. Find out more about the GNU project and Free Software at gnu.org.

Usable

GNOME understands that usability is about creating software that is easy for everyone to use, not about piling on features. GNOME's community of professional and volunteer usability experts have created Free Software's first and only Human Interface Guidelines, and all core GNOME software is adopting these principles. Find out more about GNOME and usability at the GNOME Usability Project.

Accessible

Free Software is about enabling software freedom for everyone, including users and developers with disabilities. GNOME's Accessibility framework is the result of several years of effort, and makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix platform. Find out more at the GNOME Accessibility Project.

International

GNOME is used, developed and documented in dozens of languages, and we strive to ensure that every piece of GNOME software can be translated into all languages. Find out more at the GNOME Translation Project.

Developer-friendly

Developers are not tied to a single language with GNOME. You can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, even C#, to produce high-quality applications that integrate smoothly into the rest of your Unix or Linux desktop.

Organized

GNOME strives to be an organized community, with a foundation of several hundred members, usability, accessibility, and QA teams, and an elected board. GNOME releases are defined by the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six months.

Supported

Beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, GNOME is supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Find out more at foundation.gnome.org.

A community

Perhaps more than anything else, GNOME is a worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and generally have fun together. Find out more at GNOME Developer's site.
