Link appropriate Gtk/Granite Widget with usage information in elementary HIG #24

Open gwutz opened 7 years ago

Expected behavior

Search for a suitable Widget in Human Interface Guidelines and jump to valadoc description to use it in my code.

Actual behavior

No link to Valadoc - had to search it myself. Additional obstacle was the translation in my native language in HIG.

What widget were you searching in the HIG? Most of the content is style and UX choices, not code related. Also, what is your native language? All of the doc pages should be available for translation.

I searched for Infobars. I wanted to implement them in my app. When i found them i got the translated name: Infoleiste which didnt helped me to find them in valadoc. Best idea in my opinion would be to link them directly so i dont have to bother with translations. Like the SearchEntry which is linked to valadoc.
