Moin Marcus!

A good question. If we use the first solution, dhelp doesn#t need the
DocID tag.

Take for example the German HOWTOs. Some a really a translation of the
English one, but some includes additional material. I think, the DocID
shouldn#t be the same.

You#re right. The second solution is to refer to the DocID of the English
one. Or you can refer to the title of the English one. But there#s maybe a
problem, if there#s no English version of the text (for example only
French and German).

Yes, I think that is a good feature, for example we could include a link
to the bug tracking system.

No, this should be something like html-link.

Not necessary (default).

I haven#t forgotten it:
Section: FAQ
Abstract: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really think, that we should have Abstract and Title for
directories? I don#t know.

I#ve got the same problem. I#ve thought about the internal database of
dhelp and I am not sure how to solve the problems introduced by Language:,
but I think we should support it.
MB> Again, "Title:" is missing. I don't like the "File:" format for links.
Ok, we could use DirLink:?

Ok.
