(...) Yes. That will go into the new "-y is up" section. I'm open to suggestions on the exact wording on this section, but I suspect that we can copy from the authors' guide document, which I believe already describes this. --Travis (17 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Travis, I have *had to add* support for blanks in LPub, because so many kids expect to be able to use them. Unfortunatly, kids won't read the spec, they will just do what comes naturally.

That's great news. Just out of curiosity, do the green and blue bits have any significance, or are they just random?
