Try this: >=20 > yelp info:guix It works for me too (even searching). But I see some things missing, although I'm using Yelp 3.18 from the host distro: * Clicking any index result in an error: error on line 1114 at column 428: PCDATA invalid Char value 8 * Info manuals are not in the list of manuals available. Being able to use Yelp would be great, in my opinion. After all, GNOME=20 is the GNU Desktop. --=20 Luis Felipe L=C3=B3pez Acevedo http://sirgazil.bitbucket.io/
