I'll certainly vote for (a) after that. I did'nt test anything until now but because some ID's are going very deap in our help files and I don't think that we can define the same ID in different place, then we propbaly will face some problem when a ID point just to a PARA/P or LISTITEM/LI that already exist in many languages at different places in the same file. And when it's just a LISTITEM/LI for me it's not interresting that the Gimp-app point there because there is probably nothing interresting in the doc. Instead of adapting the gimp-help to a mechanical list , it's better to rewrite the gimphelp-ids.h together, my opinion. Well I decided to stop to write any content for the gimp-help, so may be my opinion don't count anymore. > (b) Try to get help from the 'C' branch of gimp-help-2.

The exception is the Glossary where each langage will have it's own ID's. @+ Raymond
