Bug 1035771

Original DocBook version of the documentation

Description of problem:
I, For One, Welcome Our New Dialog Boxes Overlords, but still without some more
explanation, I am lost. E.g., I have some understanding of the present and
future value, but still I haven't been able to compute with the Calculator even
simple =FV(0.05,10,0,1000) (using LibreOffice notation).

I have been surprised to find that the old gcalctool, although it had awful UI
had much better documentation, so it would be probably a good idea to revive it
back to Mallard form. The last change to the original documentation (as far as
I have been able to find out) was at
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-calculator/commit/?id=5ef567aa365313594a285bedbb9d5c3c5b030f2e
(and whole file was removed in 5d9395d0236ebb5a02c34fe24d20557dbd0d7486 with
rewrite to Mallard).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-calculator-3.8.2-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to calculate future value (e.g., what would be in LibreOffice =FV(0.05,10,0,1000) )
2.click on FV button
3.

Actual results:
there is no clear explanation anywhere what value should go where (e.g., where goes the starting value)

Expected results:
math is hard, so some kind of real documentation would be helpful. F1 doesn't give much help either
