This will help us shorten the amount of typing we have to do for adding new

291

menu items. It is pretty straight forward.

<!-- These are the language-independent entities. They can be (more

451

or less) freely extended. Keep this list sorted and sensible.

452

Make sure you always add full markup to the text.

453

454

Naming policy: name the entity like you would see the text

455

(inclusive case). KDE entities are always lowercased. Spaces

456

are omitted. Examples: Qt (for "Qt"), RedHat (for "Red Hat"),

457

kfloppy (for "KFloppy") . (Entity names cannot start with digits,

458

in that case, use the written form for the first digit.)

459

460

DO NOT JUST RENAME ENTITIES! That implies removal of an existing

461

entity and that may change the validity of documents, which must

462

not happen. Place the name you wish to remove in the list of

463

obsolete entities (depending on the case, the expansion is

464

redefined or kept as it was); the new name goes in the official list.

465

A later version of the DTD (with another version number!) will

466

effectively remove these entities. In that way, old documents

467

remain valid, while new ones can only use the new declarations.

<para>One of the most common questions in the Linux community comes from a majority of <trademark>Windows</trademark> users who all want to know the same thing. Can Linux play <trademark>Windows</trademark> game titles? Yes and No. There are some titles which can run natively in Linux just fine. This means you will not have to utilize a third-party application or emulator in order to play the game. However, most of the top titles at this time cannot be run natively but can be run with the support of an emulator. An emulator allows an application to run on a platform or operating system in which it wasn't intended for. There are two popular emulators in use today in the Linux community: <itemizedlist>
