In the glossar it's written, that TCP/IP is a protocoll. I mean this are two
protocolls and TCP stands over IP. TCP can be exchanged by UDP.

Diff isn't working for me right now.  It seems as if nothing is.

Anyway, I edited line 113 & added a new line 114 in help-glossary.rdf

I didn't edit anything else; I don't know what you want.

Here are the lines:



        <rdf:li> <rdf:Description nc:name="TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)"
nc:link="glossary.html#tcp"/> </rdf:li>
        <rdf:li> <rdf:Description nc:name="IP (Internet Protocol)"
nc:link="glossary.html#ip"/> </rdf:li>
We want to split the glossary.html file that defines TCP/IP to be changed to 2
separate definitions. TCP and IP. I'll do the glossary.rdf stuff, so don't worry
about that.
Depends on: 221261
Do we need to get this detailed for a user help system? Why not just specify in
the TCP/IP entry that the two are separate protocols?
I fully agree with kovu. The help glossary is getting to bloated. This level of
detail is not needed for an end-user glossary. I rarely, if ever, see TCP/IP
shown as two protocols.

WONTFIX.
