'How To'

[Phill Whiteside]

Hiyas,

as a n00b at this, I've now gotten completely confused over what programmes
i need to view / edit etc.

e.g. Is yelp(v.2) going to replaced by yelp(v.3); Do i need it ?

One common theme I read is that the information is scattered quite far and
wide, that it is there I do not doubt.

Would it be possible for a doc to be made a 'one stop shop' of what is
recommended, I understand that I can use BlueFish as an editor which is nice
as I use it for programming. The multitude of differing systems is
bewildering. I was fortunate to have one of the doc team help me set up my
php key, and I thought signing the agreement was hard !!

If I'm going to be using XML (which apparently I must do), there is a
problem that if I look at wiki pages, they use a completely different format
and forums mainly use bbcode. I am okay with bbcode as I have a phpbb forum,
so writing to the ubuntu forum is a case of copy & paste. Community wiki
coding is just head banging different to anything I have used, is it xml ?

I learned most of my xhtml strict coding at w3schools, is their tutorial for
xml http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp using the correct system for
'official pages' ?

"One of the problems with standards, is any one can make them". I know
things are real busy and possibily now is not a good time to be asking, but
whenever someone has chance to catch their breath I'd really like to learn,
just not even sure what I should be learning.

Regards,

Phill.
