Instruction making rant

[Roland Melkert]

I also would be very glad if you post your opinion on some of the other suggestions above.

I would very much like to add support for (a subset of) LPUB metas in LDCad 1.7, maybe add a special "Instructions" mode to the top right session panel as suggested elsewhere in this thread.

But as I don't make instructions and have very little experience with LPub myself, I would need some pointers on which metas to support first.

Also documentation on the lpub meta spec seems to be very fragmented / hard to find.

Once supported some of the more common tasks (adding callouts etc) can be handled with macro's (technically they already can) while seeing the result without having to use LPub.

You would still need LPub(3d) to generate the final pdf.

This is all some distance in the future though, as I fist want to do some fun things with interactive animation (the main reason I started a 1.7 version).

So maybe 1.7 Alfa 3 or even the first beta at the earliest.

This said nothing is set in stone, I tend to change direction quite often while working on the project
