+ @cindex GTK customize, @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} file
This is too long for an index entry. Also, they
don't belong in the same entry. They should be two entries.
See documents at
+ @uref{http://www.gtk.org/} for that.
It is not good to refer to a web site for documentation purposes.
Please refer to something that can be included in the user's machine.
+ Note that this is only for customizing specific GTK widget features.
+ To customize Emacs font, background, faces e.t.c., use the normal
+ X Resources, see @ref{Resources}.
To make this useful, it is important to be at least a little more
specific about which aspects to customize through GTK and which
through X resources. If you can do this clearly with a description,
that is fine; otherwise you could use a list.
The word "resources" is an ordinary noun, so don't capitailze it.
It should be "etc.", not "e.t.c."
+ For dialogs a GtkDialog is used.
Please avoid the passive voice, here and everywhere, unless
it is absolutely necessary.
+ @example
+ widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkFixed.GtkVScrollbar" style "my_style"
+ @end example
That line is very long. It might work ok if you use @smallexample
instead of @example. Please do that for all the examples in the
section; inconsistency looks bad.
Can this be written as two lines?
+ So the two full paths above are in Emacs the same as:
That's not very clear language. How about
Thus, for Emacs you can write the two examples above as:
if that is what you mean.
