I am currently working with Karl, to change the documentation to XML format. This will allow us to have the help in pdf and HTML formats, which should be useful. Maybe even abw formats too. I will update the rest of the help soon to include modeless stuff, and to change some of the images to english.

Well he could wait till Dom has finished gnome-print, import the help file
as HTML into Abi then print it as a pdf :-) While's at it he could also
export it to a docbook file so it can be included in the Gnome
documentation project too :-)
Gotta love Abi's flexibility!
Cheers
