VectorStyler Manual | PDF

[Boldline]

@freggern Thanks for doing this and for keeping it updated as we go along.
If I see an error or misspelling in the documentation, should I be alerting both you and @vectoradmin ?

[freggern]

It depends on where the error or misspelling can be found. I only need to know when it happens only in the pdf file. I can do nothing when the misspelling is on the documentation website. I generate the pdf file in 3 steps that I trigger: Crawl the website, generate a latex file with python out of the website files and then generate the pdf file from the latex file. I don't plan to manually fix misspelling or errors that can be found in the website files. I can only fix "errors" that happend in the process of generating the pdf file.
Like for example on my todo list:

• & like Canvas & Artboard doesn't show as Canvas & Artboard
• Color Palette Bar has some not correct rendered images
• SVG EFFECTS - Diffuse Light has some not correct rendered images
• Better floating positioning for images
• Support for intern links in the pdf

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline Let me know if there are spelling errors in the documentation.
You can also post it here.

[Boldline]

@vectoradmin no problem - minor one in the "shape paint" section.
"Original"

[freggern]

@vectoradmin There is a wrong link on the page https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/ unter the overview headline

• "Not Found" (404) at link https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/geometry/ (from https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/) => correct link is/repeater/geometries/

[VectorStyler]

@freggern Should be fixed now!

@freggern
i am also really gratefully for your work

[Boldline]

@vectorstyler @freggern should we move the PDF file of the documentation over to a pinned thread in the general discussion? This way it's easy to find each time @freggern updates it? Right now it's within an random question and would be harder to go back and find later on.

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline A pinned thread in "Tutorials" or "General Discussion" will do.

[freggern]

@Boldline @vectoradmin I change the first post and rename the thread title. @vectoradmin Feel free to pin the thread.

[freggern]

Is it intentional that the category tutorial is private. So only logined user can see the category or access threads in it?

[VectorStyler]

@freggern Should be fixed now.

[Subpath]

to both Ideas.
I was also not so happy that the Tutorials could
only be read by registered forum users.
Found interested People unnecessarily excluded.

@freggern You're doing an awesome job keeping the pdf manual updated and available. thank you for all your hard work.
A spacing issue I wanted to bring to your attention - not sure if there's an easy fix.
i noticed a few cases in the table of contents, especially as the number switch from two digits to three -the space gets tight and the letters join together.

further down there's some similar spacing issues as the secondary numbers hit three digits

[freggern]

@Boldline I updated the PDF with a different spacing configuration for the TOC, so the overlap should not happen anymore.
