I don't think that we necessarily need to dictate the format of the tutorial.
I belive that there needs to be a great deal of flexibility of the order and
style that a tutorial presents.  However, I do think that there needs to
be HTML formating standards so that can provide a little more than just text
to Tim.  We could for example have some style sheets or javascript that
handle the pagelayout part of the tutorial.  This would let us all build
the tutorials on our own and let us know that what we give to Tim can be
dropped right into the website.


Would this hinder the non-webbuilder/non-HTML knoweldge from submitting
tutorials.  I agree that we need to unburden Tim from all the .txt file
tutorials but just 'reading' the ldraw site it seems that he wanted txt
files so that anyone can create tutorials and not worry about formating
issues.  I know that the true reason is that he did not wnat to RE-FORMAT
other peoples work and starting with a plain txt file he pertty much has
full control of formating.

Is it possible to automate the process somewhat to help him out?  This is an
area I have no experince in and could not help?  -Sorry

I'm just concerned that non-techies may not contribute if they feel that
must deal with web-formating. -Ahui

(...) I essintialy agree. The format of the tutorials was not the point of the original post. I do like the numbering, I think that it helps not to label the groups with an encoded prefix, I would prefer LDRAW ANIMATION 101 vs. LA101. (...) I think (...)
