That is exactly how I felt at the time when I last looked at some LibLouis
documentation. I had a look now at what Christian had pointed me to and I
had certainly never seen it before and as it is now, it looks clear and
helpful. The stuff I had looked at before, was probably rather dated.
Kind regards
Christo

My comment regarding the LibLouis documentation from when I first began to
work with it is that it seems to be written from the perspective of someone
who is already very familiar with how LibLouis works and therefor in places
it isn't clear what is meant. It also has a lot of strange typos, unless
they've been corrected recently. It is better documentation than I've seen
with other projects but for someone who is not familiar with the inner
workings of LibLouis and the background behind it the docs are difficult.
Try reading it from the perspective of someone new to LibLouis and
understand exactly what an "op code" is and what it does. The answer is that
it depends and isn't really clear at all.
I'm not criticizing, just trying to explain why people new to this sometimes
have a hard time understanding how to write and design tables.

Surely a programmer who has been working with Duxbury tables for 30 years
can not be called a "dunce" :D If we can't teach you then the documentation
must be really bad!
