gedit_app_show_help ()

gboolean
gedit_app_show_help (GeditApp *app,
                     GtkWindow *parent_window,
                     const gchar *name_of_user_manual,
                     const gchar *link_id_within_user_manual);

To show the user manual.

As a useful information to know, the gedit user documentation is currently written in Mallard. As such, this functionality can easily be tested with Yelp on Linux:

With name_of_user_manual and link_id_within_user_manual both NULL, it is equivalent to:

$ yelp 'help:gedit'

With link_id_within_user_manual set to "gedit-replace" (a Mallard page id):

$ yelp 'help:gedit/gedit-replace'

With link_id_within_user_manual set to "gedit-spellcheck#dict" (it refers to a section id within a page id):

$ yelp 'help:gedit/gedit-spellcheck#dict'

Parameters

app	a GeditApp.
parent_window	the GtkWindow where the request originates from.	[nullable]
name_of_user_manual	`NULL` for gedit's user manual, otherwise the name of another user manual (e.g., one from another application).	[nullable]
link_id_within_user_manual	a link ID within the user manual, or `NULL` to show its start page.	[nullable]

Returns

whether the operation was successful.
