--- Comment #4 from Rafael Lima <[email protected]> ---
I understand there is a steep learning curve for writing LibreOffice scripts
(either Basic or Python), and we should consider strategies to make it easier
to learn the basics of macro programming in LO.

I'm not sure the proposed solution by the OP is the way to go, but let's take
this opportunity to discuss the issue. It took me a very long time to get my
head around all the things needed to write LO macros, so I can imagine many
people struggle to get started.

I believe we should have a Tutorials library with simple and useful scripts for
all LO apps (Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw), which could serve as templates
for those getting started with LO macros.

In fact, bug 123540 points out that we already have a Tutorials library (in
instdir/share/basic/Tutorials), but it is hidden from users because over time
some of these macros stopped working.

Maybe we could consider reviving this library, fixing its issues and adding new
macros with lots of comments for new LO macro programmers.
