Re: New User's Guide To Leo

Ben, I have used Leo successfully for many years in your examples 2 and 3. I'd be glad to write up typical workflows that I use if that would be useful, However, I agree w/ Thomas these probably aren't best suited for a new user guide. Rob... On Thursday, May 18, 2023 at 11:17:52 AM UTC-4 Ben

Re: New User's Guide To Leo

No apologies needed. Leo is terrific, but it does have quite a learning curve. In the end, I think many people end up with their own personalized workflows, most likely with some customized scripts to help. I like your suggestions of user scenarios walkthroughs, and I think they don't really

Re: New User's Guide To Leo

Thanks, Ludwig for your work on the Homebrew project. I seem to remember I used HB to install Leo on my Mac. However, I have little to no recollection of the actual process. I suppose I could noodle it out again if I had to. My MacBook Pro is going on 10+ years and it's fine for now. Not sure

Re: New User's Guide To Leo

Hi Rob, I remember your struggles on the Mac. It inspired me to create the leo Homebrew formula back in the day. While I haven't used Leo since, I still hang out on the group. It's also interesting to see Leo pop up in VSCode, which I use daily. I just received a shiny new MacBook Pro last

Re: New User's Guide To Leo

I think it's not too hard on Windows, but that installer wouldn't work on a Mac. Without actually having a Mac, I don't see how it would be possible. Linux is a whole other kettle of fish. It's only on Linux that I've ever had any trouble. On Windows, getting Leo going hasn't fought back for

Re: New User's Guide To Leo

Echo what @Paul said about an installer. I believe the biggest obstacle to higher adoption of Leo isn't how to `use` Leo`, but how to install it. Every time I need to install on a new machine, I dread it! Consider Picard , a music tagging application. It is a

I don't use Leo for that. I suppose I could, but I don't know how to create a suitable script. I'm on Windows, so I use Texnic Center to create the documents (PDFs). It's easy enough and allows for projects w/ multiple related documents. Perhaps I could write up
