Adrien Destugues a911a53fa6 HIG: Fix missing closing tag. 2017-08-07 18:05:58 +02:00
Humdinger 7c86c4573f Minor changes to interface guidelines
* Sentence casing for the examples of menus etc.
* Use elipses instead of "..."
* As originally proposed in ticket #5010 [1], we went with removing
  dynamic menu item labels, e.g. "Show grid" <-> "Hide grid" from
  our apps (ProcessController, Magnify, etc.)

Augustin Cavalier 2423ba8470 Revert "Switch from DejaVu to Noto font"
This reverts commit 945566ff43.

As discussed on the mailing lists and with Humdinger off-list:
 * The general design concensus tends slightly towards DejaVu, as metrics
   of DejaVu look much better (DejaVu 12 and Noto 13 are roughly the same size,
   but Noto has much wider margins with that)
 * While Noto does have a wider set of fonts with support for lots of
   different languages, DejaVu actually has built-in support for more
   Unicode languages (the default Noto has, as far as I can tell, only
   Latin/Greek/Cyrillic [2416 glyphs], while DejaVu also has Armenian, Georgian,
   and a few other scripts too [5119 glyphs].)
 * The worse rendering of DejaVu appears to have been somewhat rectified by
   disabling the average-based subpixel filter in app_server.

Humdinger 945566ff43 Switch from DejaVu to Noto font
As discussed, Noto renders much better with freetype 2.7 [1].
The DejaVu package is still in the HaikuPorts repo and can be installed
manually just like all the other available fonts.

Augustin Cavalier f2df0cfe93 interface_guidelines: Add a Haiku-esque stylesheet.
Fixes #11782.

Augustin Cavalier cf76c29456 interface_guidelines: add a convert.sh script that uses XMLTO.
Works on Linux, doesn't work on Haiku. It appears xsltproc tries
to fetch the DTD and XSL stylesheets (which doesn't work, for some reason
it wasn't built with HTTP support, and I can't figure out why). Even
when telling it to use the preinstalled XSL & DTDs using --catalog,
it still tries to download the files...

Augustin Cavalier 7d6915b4d0 Interface Guidelines: migrate to docs/, use DocBookCSS.
DocBookCSS is a mostly-pure-CSS2 implementation of the DocBook standard.
Unlike DocBookXSL which relies on transforming the XML, it utilizes the
XML-styling features of modern web browsers to display the DocBook.

Its appearance still is a long way from the Haiku Book and Userguide, but
it looks (mostly) the same as the old DocBookXSL so we can stop using that.
Eventually we just need to make DocBookCSS use our styling.
