Hi GrannyGrump,
That would be wonderful. The current manual is at 0.7.2 so there are many new features that need to be updated.
Here is a short list off the top of my head:
- The entire plugin interface - how to manage plugins, how to run plugins, how to assign common plugins to one of the 3 plugin icons. Where to get the Flightcrew plugin and how to use it for epub2
- The Preserve Entities Preferences to allow the user to preserve both named and numeric entities like & n b s p ; or & # 1 6 0 ;
- Removing Tidy from Preferences, the new CleanSource preferences and how PrettyPrint is now done
- New General Settings in Preferences for: setting Default epub type (2 or 3), set the Temp folder location, set what level of css to validate against, etc
- the new GUI Metadata Editor
- The ePub 3 tools menus and sub-menus for building ncx from nav, manifest properties, etc and that Sigil requires an epub3 to have an ncx to aid backwards compatibility with epub2.
- The nav document for epub3 and how the user can set a default stylesheet for it
Those are the biggest new features that I can think of off the top of my head. I would be happy to walk you through anything you need help with.
Almost all of the Sigil 0.7.2 manual epub stays the same. The bulk of the work would be adding new information and screen shots about the new features and new interface dialogs.
Just let me know what you need, and I would be happy to explain or help in any way I can.
Thanks so much!
Kevin

But if someone would volunteer to provide usage information about procedures new to v 0.9.6 in a rough form, I am fairly competent at writing up lucid step-through information and working up screen-shots. If you can use me in such a capacity, I am yours to command.
Let me know. |
