Actually I can't confirm this because for me yelp is (currently?)
completely useless.  Thus seems to be (another) one of the tools which
violoated the old Einstein rule: "makes things as simple as possible,
but not simpler". yelp has no index anymore, neither "yelp regex" nor
"yelp yelp" does anything anymore, and there seems to be no
configuration to add e.g. manual pages to yelp (and no documentation to
yelp, either).  Somehow I get very wary about the direction Gnome is
taking.
