Libre Graphics for NGOs

This manual has been created with a one-day workshop on graphics in mind.

HOWTO

Add a two letter language code for each translated file, before the extension and prefixe by a dash (as in README-de.md). In
there is a .sla per language
the content is created in .md files that are manually imported into the .sla
the images are also manually inserted
each section has its own folder that contains, the text for the chapter in a .md file (each translation in one file), the images to be published both in web and print resolution (and eventually translated), the resources used to create the images (in a resource/ directory), a README.md file with notes about the section and a list of changes and authors per language.
the section's folders are called by the english chapter title, a dash and the english section title. the title may be shortened.
images are called
- web-name_of_the_image.png or
- print-name_of_the_image.png depending on their size.
  if the image contains language dependent content, you will add:
- web-name_of_the_image-fr.png
if you want to add text or vectors to an image, create an SVG and draw them in there.
- bitmaps should be on layers named web and print
- all language specific elements should go into a layer named after the language (fr, en, ...)

#TODO

remove all typographic signs (’, «) and replace them in the sources with the normal ones.
remove the spaces before the :;... (they can be correctly readded when importing into scribus. or add them as non breaking space instead of normal spaces)
