Synfig Project Forum

Thank you, berteh. As I have said, implementing DPL in python is very tricky, considering bindings to MediaWiki. Conversion to ODT is something what I have tried very first (wiki->html->odt->pdf schema using "htmldoc"). That's not work, because Openoffice not wraps images correctly on the pages (if image not fits to current page then it transferred to next leaving a lot of empty space). Manual editing is not a solution - because that's a lot of work. We want _completely_ automatic conversion, because we will do that often enough. Currently Latex solution is the best I found.

Today I'm leaving to vacation for. That means that I will be absent for 2-3 weeks. I will continue work after return. Cheers!

thanks for this big work Zelgadis, it looks really nice.
do you know the issuu online reader? could be a nice way to link to the synfig manual: http://issuu.com/berteh/docs/synfig_manual_en

I could try to help with the cover page. You want it in svg (easier), synfig (feasible), pdf (appendable) or latex (tough but feasible)?

B.

Thank you, berteh! Unfortunately I need it in latex. I think "synfig logo in the center + book title + year" should do be enough.

P.S. I didn't knew about issuu. Looks cool. ^_^

Hi, berteh!
Unfortunately I haven't had chance to work on this last time because I'm busy on Morevna Project. Though I still hope to finish with offline documentation someday, but most probably I will be able to get back not sooner than November (Morevna Demo release).
Please post a cover page - we will need it sooner or later.About format: sif or svg is fine,
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, I compiled this out of the online doc...
Synfig Studio Manual 1 for 0.63.05 english on my Google Drive

Just in case you like to use it somewhere.
I called it "Manual 1", it just includes the basic chapters "Introduction" and "Diving In".

No front page, but pages can be divided by 4 so you can easily print it as a booklet without wasting trees

Good job.... !

Perfect to detect lacks of Literal syntax

About doc restruct....
What do you think about starting a new doc/wiki step to be ready for next release ? I think about :

documentation unification (style/syntax/vocabulary....)
updated screenshots
next release features (seems to be more internal/engine than end user ones .... ist'n it ?)

see(:ya!

--------<<<<<<<<<<Synfig documentation Getting started>>>>>>>>>>>>----------

sounds good to me, but also like a really big project which needs big efforts.
As a way of making this happen, I'd prefer several smaller projects that finally lead into the direction of the big picture.

Means we have to develop a big picture and a staged plan first,
I'm open to join a discussion about this.
