From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Smeenk, R.J.M. (Roland) Sent: Fri 8/24/2007 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [osg-users] Tutorials I just copied all NPS tutorials into the Wiki. There's a number of things that still need editing: -Conversion to OSG2.0 -Addition of source zip files -Addition of screenshots -Addition of links to related stuff (Api reference, examples and User guides) Robert, I read in the Wiki that it is possible to automatically add syntax coloring if GNU Enscript or SilverCity (preferred) are installed. I would like to see this installed? Furthermore CamelCasing in the Trac Wiki has bitten me more than it helped me, because I had to disable all Wiki linking on StateSets, MatrixTransforms etc. Could this be turned off?
