Yes, and I hope I will soon have some time to add it. > > My suggestions for small examples would be stuff like "how to add > semantic data to a page programmatically", "how to perform a query and > evaluate the results" "create your own datatype" with only a few lines > of commented code - well, maybe except for the "own datatype". I think > my thread from last October "Problem with storing semantic attributes in > a parserhook" shows that such information would help a lot. This would indeed be helpful. If I find the time, then I might set up some such examples. Meanwhile, contributions are welcome.
