Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for official documentation page

[Jean Weber <jeanweber@gmail.com>]

Tom,
I'm not sure how much can be "simplified" using wiki templates, but they are great for automating some things and providing consistency of presentation and appearance (not that different in functionality from LO templates). I am far from an expert on this topic. We used a lot of them on the old OOo wiki, but most were set up by other people. I've put this on my to-do list, including copying some of my favourites from OOo.

In my experience it's usually been a Pita trying to add just 1 tiny pic to a website and involves floating frames and just a ridiculous amount of fuss otherwise the pic just pushes all the text down a bit and looks messy.
