IMHO on the wiki, it only makes sense to have a 'staged description' of whatever workflow. That is, have one description that covers the usual case short and sweet and a second page/section with all the gory details. Both should link to each other of course. This is to: - not scare away newcomers with too much detail - allowing people to add details without bitrotting the short description into a long and winding one. see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle Best, Bjoern _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
