Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Using and Formatting Logical Functions in Calc

Hi :)
Hmmm, pen&ink or pencil is a good option for printed guides.  I thought that was what margins were 
for?  

Unfortunately it's not so easy to share or copy&paste from whereas a wiki is easy to disseminate.  
Since it does headings and the Table of Contents and makes the ToC clickable automatically it's not 
hugely difficult for readers either.  

Wiki's are a quick way to get a good result even if it's garbage-in.  Quite often people that are 
new to wiki-editing find other people tidy-up their edits if they have only just plonked down 
unformatted content.  (or made a right pigs-ear of it).  As you play around with it and find odd 
hints&tips your formatting gets better but that doesn't necessarily improve your contents so you 
start hunting around for other newer people's content to help their's look nicer.  So it kinda 
depends on new people joining in all the time or on people having more Areas of Knowledge than they 
can write-up quickly.  

Regards from
Tom :)

The question I would pose to you is, is the wiki designed for the ease of use for people updating 
the information, or for the ease of use of the people needing help?  A solution for one group does 
not automatically make that solution the best for another group.

With printed documentation, one of the perennial complaints everywhere is the difficulty in 
updating the data.  To which I say, a lot of that is hogwash to me.  I figured out a way to 
minimize the difficulty in updating the information close to 20 years ago.  I keep waiting for 
various "brain trusts" to put out a document using that solution, but it seems to be more than they 
can handle.   :-)

I think I'll just keep my secret for my own use.   :-)
