2019-02-14Convert the FAQ to Asciidoctor and remove old help files.Gerald Combs1-91/+0
Convert our self-generating FAQ to Asciidoctor via the following steps: - `help/faq.py > /tmp/faq.html`. - `pandoc -t asciidoc -o docbook/faq.adoc /tmp/faq.html`. - Manually clean up the markup using a text editor. Question and answer content was left intact. Removing or updating obsolete content will have to be done in a separate change. The Asciidoctor project uses the .adoc extension, so start using it here as well. The contents of the "help" directory appear to have been used for offline support in help_url.c, but that functionality was removed in 2008 in 242e3b78bc. Its content is covered in the User's Guide and man pages so remove it.

2007-11-24This patch adds (ten) temporary coloring rules which will only live until ↵Sake Blok1-2/+5
Wireshark is quit. Temporary coloring filters can be set by: - pressing <ctrl>-<digit> will create a conversation coloring filter based on the addresses of the currently selected packet (order TCP/UDP/IP/Ethernet) This can also be achieved from the "View|Colorize Conversation" menu. - Rightclicking on a packet in the packet-list will give the option to "Colorize Conversation" just as "Conversation Filter" does. - Rightclicking on an item in the packet-detail-list will give the option to "Colorize with filter" which works similar to "Apply as filter" Temporary filters can be cleared from the same menus or by pressing <ctrl>-<space>. This patch also adds an item to the above mentioned menu's to add a permanent color filter in the same way. The colors for the temporary coloring rules are now hardcoded as I do not know how to change the color of menu-items and therefore I chose to use icons to show the actual color of each of the ten temporary coloring rules. Is it at all possible to have different menu items in different colors? One other way of solving this is to recreate the icons on the fly after changing the colors. I will have a look into that once it is clear whether I can use different colors within the menu structure. svn path=/trunk/; revision=23560
