With so much being done with electronic books these days, i would thing there could be a system where individual chapters could be kept reasonably up to date. But i also find a printed book to be really nice and i often prefer it. The advantage of a book rather than docs of commands is that

Hi Eric, Revlets are very unlikely to come back. RunRev is working on an HTML5 export feature. That is probably what you want. Apart from that, it is easy to write a script to export data from LiveCode to a website. There are several people on this list who use LiveCode as a CMS, including

Gregory, You can't place files outside of the webserver root folder because that would be a security risk. You don't want web clients to access your private data from your home folder. Everything that the web server serves is inside the DOCUMENT_ROOT. cheers andre On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 12:19

Not to minimize your point, it is a valid one, but Runrev has limited resources, and if they really fully documented everything as well as we would like, and make it as easily accessible as we would like, we might not see a lot of development work getting done. As for the web root access,
