Pat, I did look into the DIR-SEPARATOR (DIR_SEPARATOR on python?) constant. It did not appear to be documented anywhere in the gimp docs that I could find with a search engine. From an old scheme script I found posted I was able to find the following: The DIR-SEPARATOR constant appears to b

Pat, The conversion to compatible HTML went much faster than I imagined. It looks like getting everybody comfortable with the tutorial is going to be the longer part of the process. I looked at the notes, if we need to make some changes we can, I would rather not make a lot of changes if the

Stephen, Just a couple of notes. There are some concerns about the introduction of the term "macro" in the tutorial and the sense with which it's used. Also, saul has asked me to relay to you: "have him look into the DIR-SEPARATOR constant. Using it would obviate about half of his code." If you

Hi Stephen! You can just leave it as an ODT file. I'll make the stylistic changes required to fit the website HTML. Give me a little time and I'll make the conversion and get it up to test. Thanks for the contribution! -- pat david http://blog.patdavid.net

Pat, That sounds great. I will plan to write in a word processor (with a spell checker) & then dump it into bluefish to add the html tags. If that works it should make the whole authoring process pretty straightforward. I would prefer to stay in a word processor form rough to final draft & mini

Just stick to clean, plain HTML and you should be fine. Style inline if you want, I'll move it to an external style sheet anyway. You can publish screen grabs if gimp non problem I believe. Someone may correct me. I'll be out of town for a few days, but just hit me up when you're ready for testin
