As I said, it's better than a lot of what I've seen but it is not an easy read.
It's helpful to read the sections that talk about how LibLouis works and then
go over the specifics of op codes, arguments, etc.
Good luck!

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!
