Um, I can’t tell the difference between the different types you defined, nor do I see the need to “narrow down” the term. Where is the confusion? Why is this needed?

I don’t get ‘basic building instructions,’ but I do get Building Instructions vs. Building Instruction Images. LPub (when you don’t use the wonderful post-processing page layout features) outputs a series of images that just represent the graphic for a step. Then, you can take that output and arrange it in a layout program. Those would be Building Instruction Images, the raw output that hasn’t been formatted yet.


BBI came out in my mind becuase I wanted a narrow term for “polished BII in a layout”. BBI and BII are both subsets of BIs. I chose BBI to get the acroynms all with the letters “B” and “I”. BBI could also be called “Background Building Instructions”. =)

BIs can be more than just want (we) the lego community use to show our stuff on the web. While nobody has done it yet, they could have used video ortext only instructions.


The need comes about with the new articles I am writing for the BI portal on BI Theory, BIs for the web, etc. In my writing I have noticed that the term BI is TOO BORAD for the article. Thus the BII and BBI. =)

Anyone else got feedback?

(...) I would suggest that trying to make acronyms for the same project all similar (using 'B' as you noted above) will actually lead to confusion. Quick example... try reading your paragraph above out loud. I think you'll find it's a mouthful. :) (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad, FTX)
