Tim, here's some html I threw together for you for the main /reference/ page. --Ryan <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage Express 2.0"> <title>Untitled Normal Page</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">  ldraw.org Reference Section We are currently in the process of working on reference items for the site. LEdit tutorial*, an MLCAD tutorial, and a parts authoring tutorial. Soon there will be an LDraw and If you have something to contribute or would like to help in the process of creating any one of these tutorials - please <a href="mailto:tim@zacktron.com">email Tim Courtney</a> and he will let you know what you can do. Help is appreciated. There are different sections of reference resources: <ul> <li><a href="tutorials/">Tutorials</a>teach an introduction to a program</li> <li><a href="howto/">How-to's</a>these differ from tutorials in that they describe how to perform a small function to ease use of something</li> <li><a href="specs/">Specifications</a>detailed publication of the DAT format specifications, a color chart with information on LCAD colors, etc.</li> </ul> *the LDraw and LEdit tutorial is currently avaliable <a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/20551/">here</a>.    These are how-to's: <a href="mime.html">Configuring the DAT File Format Mime Types with Windows</a> By: <a href="mailto:bram@cwru.edu">Bram Lambrecht</a> and <a href="mailto:tim@zacktron.com">Tim Courtney</a> Learn how to configure Windows to recognize the DAT file and how to launch your DAT files with several different utilities by right-clicking the file. <a href="/reference/freeform.html">Free-Form Camera Positioning with MLCAD, L3P, and POV-RAY</a> By: <a href="mailto:bhamilto1@home.com">Brad Hamilton</a> Learn how to position the camera in these three utilities to get the most out of your 3D models. Brad Hamilton is the creator of the amazing <a href="http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2268" target="_top">Cathedral of Ice</a> model which won the January 2001 <a href="/motm/">Model of the Month</a> competition. Here he explains what methods he uses to get the interesting models he puts in his renderings. This might be a tutorial. I'm not sure: <a href="linux.html">LEGO CAD on Linux - Installing and using LDGLite</a> By: <a href="mailto:sparre@cats.nbi.dk">Jacob Sparre Andersen</a> This page explains how you can get started viewing building instructions for LEGO models coded in the LDraw format. This is a different category from the ones mentioned above: <a href="http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/">Partsref</a> Steve Bliss has compiled <a href="http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/">Partsref</a>, a reference tool for all <a href="/download/updates/">LCAD parts</a> currently available. This reference guide is hosted on <a href="http://www.lugnet.com">LUGNET</a>. Perhaps you could have a fourth secton of the reference page: <ul> <li><a href="tools/">Tools</a> <description></li> </ul> Feel free to use whole quotes of this on the /reference/ page, Tim. I'm not going to consider it copyrighted by me! --Ryan </body> </html>
