* To construct a #GFile, you can use:

- * <member>g_file_new_for_path() if you have a path.</member>
- * <member>g_file_new_for_uri() if you have a URI.</member>
- * <member>g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() for a command line argument.</member>
- * <member>g_file_new_tmp() to create a temporary file from a template.</member>
- * <member>g_file_parse_name() from a UTF-8 string gotten from g_file_get_parse_name().</member>
- * </simplelist>
+ * - g_file_new_for_path() if you have a path.

+ * - g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() for a command line argument.

*
- * <para id="gfile-etag">
* One notable feature of #GFiles are entity tags, or "etags" for
* short. Entity tags are somewhat like a more abstract version of the
* traditional mtime, and can be used to quickly determine if the file
