Closes!118 - Remove Attempt Data Rescue and use of gpart
Now with GNOME 3 style help installed, running 'yelp help:gparted'
results in this error being displayed in yelp:
Page Not Found
The requested page was not found in the document 'help:gparted'.
Where as running 'yelp help:gparted/gparted' correctly displays the
GParted Manual.
Fix by renaming the article tag to the default 'index' that yelp is
expecting when using the new GNOME 3 'help:' prefix.
Closes!24 - Port to GNOME 3 yelp-tools documentation infrastructure
Second part is to use yelp-tools to build and install the documentation.
Have to rename the help Manual from help/C/gparted.xml to
help/C/index.docbook in accordance with this note from the GNOME Goal:
Port to New Documentation Infrastructure [1]:
IMPORTANT: If this is for a DocBook document, the top-level DocBook
file MUST be renamed to index.docbook. Do a "git mv" and include
index.docbook in HELP_FILES.
Commits from gucharmap [4] and totem [5], projects which have DocBook
documentation, making this same change are also useful references.

I generated this by running:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/ghelp:fdl/help:fdl/g' {} \;
By updating the translations at the same time, it should be easier on
the translators as there's no reason to invalidate these strings.

[Mike Fleetwood: Explain the underlying cause and distro versions.]
This gnome-desktop commit, first included in version 3.5.5, switched the
package from using gnome-doc-utils to yelp-tools so changed the
installed location of the GNU FDL license file from
/usr/share/gnome/help/fdl/C/fdl.xml to
/usr/share/help/C/fdl/index.docbook, thus changing the yelp URI from
'ghelp:fdl' to 'help:fdl':

Closes!24 - Port to GNOME 3 yelp-tools documentation infrastructure
The file has been redundant since it was first added [1]. It was never
listed in configure.ac (or configure.in) in AC_CONFIG_FILES. Therefore
autoconf has never produced help/C/Makefile.in and ./configure has never
produced help/C/Makefile. Therefore it isn't used during the build and
install of GParted. Remove it.

The Open and Close pages use third person present tense for the "Choose:" paragraph. On the Close instruction, it had "closed" next to a "refreshes". So this commit simply applies present tense to "closed".
Missed when adding partition naming at creation time in enhancement:
Bug 746214 - Partition naming enhancements
starting with this commit:

Allow partition naming on busy partitions (#746214)
Add LUKS encrypted partition notes to the GParted Manual about the new
capabilities coming in the next release of GParted.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
GParted now recognizes file system formats on disk devices without
partition tables. Update the manual with:

- manage flags not available for devices without partition tables
- use format to cleared to delete a file system from an unpartitioned
disk
Bug 743181 - Add unpartitioned drive read-write support
Update the GParted Manual to reflect the change in terminology from
Partition Label to File System Label in the GParted GUI. And make it
explicit that it is the file system label in a partition being changed.
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
The GNOME Logo & Trademarks page
(http://www.gnome.org/logo-and-trademarks/) says:
* All the letters in "GNOME" should be capitalized.
Also correctly capitalise the program name as GNOME Partition Editor in
the Manual, and gparted.doap file (used in web git browser).
Bug 739805 - GNOME is incorrectly capitalised on the website and else

Add tip that the GParted Live image can be written to a USB flash
drive to be used in computers that can boot from USB.
Bug 734376 - Add GRUB 2 Restore Steps to GParted Manual
Part of the list of actions that could cause a computer to fail to
boot were duplicated. Remove this duplication from the fixing GRUB
boot problems section of the help manual.
Bug #734376 - Add GRUB 2 Restore Steps to GParted Manual
Also add short description of GRUB 2 and GRUB Legacy, and list of
GNU/Linux distributions and which version started using GRUB 2.
Bug #734376 - Add GRUB 2 Restore Steps to GParted Manual
The help manual was updated to reflect that the legend is now always
displayed on the File System Support dialog.
Bug #342682 - too much information in 'features' dialog
A "Force Cancel" button and proper cancel support was added to
GParted 0.15.0 with the following commit:
Add proper cancel support (#601239)
89de9a5026
Part of Bug #707070 - Update Help Manual with GPT flags, Force Cancel
button, etc.
Minimum update explaining the meaning of the cleared and unformatted
file system types.
Also markup file system names as GUI menu items.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Restructure and word-smith translatable text associated with the
enhancement to add ability for setting UUID in an effort to better
align with the Gnome Documentation Style Guide.
See Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.
Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
To further minimize the chance of accidentally creating a new partition
table, the following steps have been taken:
1) Rename non-standard Create button to stock Apply button.
2) Remove extra warning about erasing entire disk device.
3) Update GParted Manual accordingly.
