The Winstep User Guide!!!

Just kidding, still working on it. Despite the AI doing a huge amount of leg work, revising it, fixing mistakes and adding missing info has been an equally monumental task.

Also, don't know which screenshot I like more for the User Guide section in the v26.6 News announcement page.

Whoa, just spotted something, present in both of them. What the heck was that stupid AI thinking! It included "WindowBlinds", and also "XStart" in the 'book' illustration. (Still present in the Announcement.) Shoot the bugger Jorge. :P

Ahaha, no worries. I saw it too but did not think of it as a biggie, especially with the 600x400 reduced screenshot. Besides the UG does mention WindowBlinds due to the "Standard Interface" UI mode being compatible with it.

Well, it's in the Announcement preview that it first struck me. No sense in advertising that rubbish, or for that matter confusing some users. And "XStart" also. The AI's an imbecile. :P

Ok, final WorkShelf User Guide is now complete.

can you guys do a quick check here and let me know if you see anything odd (for instance, not all images are loading):

https://www.winstep.net/help/workshelf- ... kshelf.htm

I will keep an online version and also an offline version that will ship with the application.

The offline version is a single 9 MB HTM file with embedded images. In the online version above the images are not embedded into the HTML - this way users do not have to wait for the whole file to load. In theory images will only load as required, which hopefully won't trigger the server's connection limit protection.

EDIT: Just tested it using my cell phone and all images seem to load ok. The content is even cell phone friendly, despite not showing the TOC regardless of the toggle state (no room anyway, so...). Dark Mode/Light Mode toggle works fine.

Once I am sure the User Guide is fine, I will use it to create the Nexus Ultimate and Nexus free derivatives.
