Pull requests are welcome.

Manuals are originally written by experts who know this stuff, its
just obvious to them, so no need to mention it.  It needs new users
like you to submit pull requests as you find things that do not make
sense or assume prior knowledge to make manuals (not just Geany's)
beginner friendly.  For small manual changes you can probably do it
totally in github with the little pencil without manually forking and
cloning etc.

%block_cursor% is defined in the [Special] section in snippets.conf
