Okay, I've found a few, just in the tutorial area.  I'm replying online as
requested, but warning, my item #2 could be a little insensitive.

1:  In Brad Hamilton's Freeform Camera position tutorial,
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/tutorials/freeform , the POV source code of • a
camera block has some weird formatting.  It looks like the newlines were • all
yanked out (probably just need some <BR>'s in there).

I don't see a problem in my window.  I do remember forcing a line break with
a <br> a few times with POV code, but I don't see the problem.  Maybe I'm
not trained enough in POV code ;-)

Is it where the comment marks // appear in the middle of a line?

2:  In Jonathan Knudsen's "Drawing LEGO Models",
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/tutorials/drawing , there's another POV
camera snippet where he wants to move the camera away from the model.  I • was
going to trash this up and down, how Jonathan handles the vaxis_rotate()
code, but then I realized, he's right.  The l3p-generated camera block can
be intimidating.  So...I'll whip up a quickie tutorial on that.

So does anything need to be fixed on the page?

BTW - I see my gaping error, I didn't edit the references to 'DAT.'  Gotta
push forward the file format change agenda and all .... ;-)

Um, that's it for now.  From what I've seen so far, the site looks good.
:-,

Thanks!!

-Tim
