Make in-game manual conform to style guide

completed by: smu33rules

mentors: Steven Panek

Ever after making most of the game conform to our style guide, most of the in-game manual has been non-conformant, thus we need you to make it conform.

Requirements:

  • The ability to find out what needs to be fixed and how to properly fix whatever needs to be fixed
  • Knowledge formatting parts of HelpWML or the ability to learn the formatting parts of HelpWML

HelpWML reference: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/HelpWML

(Note that the actual formatting tags use angular brackets (<>) instead of square brackets ([]); just look at how things are being used in the actual file)

Syle guide: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Typography_Style_Guide

help.cfg (trunk): http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/wesnoth/trunk/data/core/help.cfg

Time:

You have been given ninety hours to complete this task.

Expectations:

We expect that your work will make the in-game manual fully conform to our style guide. We expect that you work off of trunk (just look at the third link provided).

Difficulty:

For a student with the necessary skills, it should be easy; moderate at the most.

Deliverable:

We expect you to deliver the file either in the form of a patch or the fixed file itself.
