267523 - firebird-index1.rdf - &brandShortName; may not always start with "F"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

Under the letter "f" in help viewer's index one can find a link "Firefox,
using". This is because of this piece of code in the firebird-index1.rdf file:

<rdf:Description about="#f">
  <nc:subheadings>
    <rdf:Seq>
      (...)
      <rdf:li><rdf:Description ID="firebird-using" nc:name="&brandShortName;,
Using" nc:link="using_firebird.xhtml"/></rdf:li>
      (...)
    </rdf:Seq>
  </nc:subheadings>
</rdf:Description>

And what if someone made their own browser, based on Firefox, and for example
named it "SampleBrowser"? The link "SampleBrowser, Using" would still be under "f".

Maybe the link should read "Using &brandShortName" and be placed under "U"?

It's worth considering after 1.0.

Removes &brandShortName;, Using entry, since Using &brandShortName; is already
in the glossary. I really doubt someone would look up Firefox in the index :).
