Last time I looked at it I could not find a printable PDF reference. Is it possible to generate one?
My quality threshold for documentation was always set very high, because I started my career with VMS. And DEC always had that obsession with comprehensive, concise and clean documentation on every tiniest bit they're exposing.
- vanderZwan 10y agoHmm, I'm not sure about the pdf thing, but it has a fairly small number of core features[0], which are all documented and can be browsed off-line, and searched through from within the minimalistic editor that it comes with. You could try looking at the source code of the documentation[1].

- sklogic 10y agoThanks, did not notice the XML sources. Looks like it must be possible to produce a decent PDF with some effort.
- vanderZwan 10y agoIf you manage, be sure to let the Processing foundation know; I'm sure they'll love a PDF (eBook?) version of the documentation.
