This is just a start - but even some of the Tw Api structure is in place ready for filling out. The table of contents gives an idea of where I am aiming (book marks in the .pdf, or left hand TOC links in the .chm) This is very much from our experiences with QtScript, so there is not much that is Python or Lua specific. Links to the .chm and .pdf are at the top left hand column of this page here: http://twscript.paulanorman.com/ Any early feedback would be appreciated thanks. Paul - Show quoted text - Reply show details 9 Nov (3 days ago) Paul A Norman to Discuss Got a bit more done on the TW.target hierarchy. Stefan, I'll be able to pass you the source for all that once its useful - even as an Open Office document or LaTeX from there, but if you're not using MS Windows, the actual help generator may run under WINE but would require a couple of things if it would work there at all. If you still have access to Windows I can give you the .hnd file for HelpNdoc, that will all end up on the web with the 'finished' help any way. 9 / 307 Any one with any Scripting Api or related notes, even if rough, please throw
