Kay, thanks for that post - you raise some important points. Even better, yours is perhaps the first discussion of the User Guide I've seen that describes specific actionable items. The core team at RunRev has been working on a rewrite of the User Guide for a future version, where the scope o

This is a very good point; you should paste it into a bug report. I've noticed the same discrepancies in the dictionary and had to think twice about what some of those entries meant. On 5/4/14, 9:39 PM, Kay C Lan wrote: Maybe it's not an inaccuracy as such, but I think there is a gotcha for Ma

Hi, Richard! I am not sure how it might be integrated. Maybe links form the dictionary to sections. Maybe links from example code in the guide to the dictionary. Maybe the ability to open up the section from the editor. Maybe a one-click way to copy example source (or even objects) so it wo
