Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Weird stuff department: Why everything needs last-minute checking

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi :)
I think either is good.  It would be nice to have variety.  If some were about a tweet-length and others a paragraph or 2 then i think that would be ideal.  Jean posted the YouTube video on how-to create a hybrid Pdf but usually posts only contain words.  The video adds a bit of colour which makes the page more attractive but possibly pictures and logo might be better.  The main thing is to add variety to make it look interesting.  
Regards from
Tom :)

It can be a long thing?  Or can be something short like a How-to  
or some advices about the use of some part of LibreOffice?
