If you’ve never tried LPub before, because you didn’t want to learn a whole
bunch of meta-commands, have no worries. You don’t need to know them (for

I would agree. I’ve never had a chance to try LPub before, but recently I’ve
been experimenting with the Mac version (built from
Sourceforge for now) and I’m
quite pleased with what I’ve been able to create:

Some aspects of the popup menu interface weren’t immediately clear to me,

Firstly, I am seriously impressed with this Alpha version of LPub. Usability is
fabulous - I was never a big user of previous versions but I’m already hooked by
this release.
One thing I’m curious about: how did Jim include the cover page for his
instruction set? I’ve played around with “LPUB PAGE INSERT pngimagename” with
no luck. I can use my PNG as a background, but it then appears for all pages.
I really want to use it once on the first page.
I’m also assuming I can’t suppress page numbers on what would then be a cover
page?
