      <para>The <application>Yelp</application> package is not required for a

      without <application>Yelp</application> you will not be able to view the
      built-in Help provided by core <application>GNOME</application> and many
      of the support applications. This is mentioned here because you may not
      wish to install a Gecko rendering engine. Without a Gecko rendering
      engine you will have no graphical browser capability as the default
      <application>GNOME</application> browser, <xref linkend="epiphany"/>,
      also requires a Gecko rendering engine.</para>
