Yelp, also known as theGNOME Help Browser[1] is the default help viewer forGNOME that allows users to access help documentation.[5] Yelp follows thefreedesktop.org help system specification[6] and readsmallard,DocBook,man pages,info, and HTML documents.[7] HTML is available by usingXSLT to renderXML documents into HTML.[8]
Yelp has a search feature[9] as well as a toolbar at the top for navigation through previously viewed documentation.[10]
Yelp can be accessed by typingyelp either intoGNOME Shell, after pressingAlt+F2 within GNOME, or within a terminal[11] using theyelp [file] format.[1][12] The commandgnome-help can also be used to access Yelp.[13]
Although Yelp is not required for GNOME to function, it is required to view GNOME's help documentation.[14]Ubuntu also uses yelp to provide a customized help interface for its software.[15]
