Hi Lance,
and welcome
if you are interested just in printable reference guide, I will start work on it immediately.
I can automate the translation of html help to PDF relatively quickly.
If you would like to have textbook containing other information that the one present in TBGL help file, I would guess that would take a bit longer.

Thanks! I will study the one provided by Eros Olmi - I think I need to that before I really know what I want!Originally Posted by Petr Schreiber
Thanks again

Lance and others,
I prepaired little demoversion of how the final "book" could look.
Let me know if it is ok for you - I tried to keep the layout little dry, to not torture printers with big ink / toner consumption.
I try to introduce each area with brief description, and then there is list of keywords for each section.
So when you need to get picture of TBGL, you can read it all, when you need help on specific command you can seek it according to contents quite fast.
Let me know.

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks very much.

Hi Lance,
thanks for your reply, so now I have idea how to create it.
It will take some time, as in the end I decided to not do direct CHM 2 PDF conversion.
I will post here progress with the PDF "per partes" ( once I finish chapter I will post here ), to not make the waiting too long, and to make possible consulting the look and contents with you and others.
This way, in the end, we should get usable TBGL manual for printing

I attached new preview to the first post of this topic,
it covers window and canvas management. Let me know your impressions.
Once this part is approved, I will move to adding next chapter.

Hi Petr,
thanks for uploading the preview. If you are targeting a technical style for it, then you are on the right track. I think you should create it like you want to see it, not what other people think it should look like.
