Hiya,

Just to let you coders know I've updated my lscript reference to include the latest patch notes and there's a new section on the new layouttools class.
If you find anything missing or incorrect, let me know!
Mike

Thanks Mike,

Every time I need to go back to LScript I always use your docs for reference.

We never got information on how to use the Gizmos on LScript right? I'm just wondering.

Awesome news Mike, your site is always open in the background when I'm doing any LScripting, it's absolute gold, thanks for keeping this up to date, it beats any official documentation hands down.

One thing I did notice in a few places was the example code uses proper quotation marks “ ” around strings, but these fail when copied into a script as they need to be like " "

I'll have to have a look at that Matt, I think i just copied the source text so they probably came in that way. The Layout gizmos stuff is in the Layout tools section, or as much as I could figure out from the mergebones.ls and splitbones.ls scripts. If anyone knows any more about commands for them etc, pm me and I'll stick them in.

Yo all!

I contacted Mike with a view to helping make the site a tad easier to read / maintain, this is a test page (less the left / top menu system, which will remain the same)

http://www.pixsim.co.uk/mike_green_lscript_reference/Style_Test.html

This doing it for you? Might as well ask before we get too far down the line!

Cheers
Matt

As always Matt a superb and clean design! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Maybe it will be worth it to incorporate a script that will color code the snippets of code, I know there are a couple free for other languages, maybe one can be tailored to support LScript?

Thanks!

Yes, I did try and find a bit of code that does clipboard copying at a click, these 'code boxes' like you say also have code highlighting, but I couldn't find any (not sure what you call them really!)

Edit: Never mind, found some!

Okay, testing out a syntax highlighter, same link, scroll to bottom.

If I might suggest, make the comments green. You could say that is somewhat of a standard (both on windows and mac).

Using a signifficantly different comment color also makes code more readable/glanceable IMHO.

I've not finalised the colours yet, just getting it working, but suggestions are most welcome!

Will make the change.

Mike, thanks for keeping your references up-to-date and the effort you put into this. It's a real handy resource that I always have opened when I do something related to LScript. :)

And Matt, really nice work on creating the stylesheet. Looks sweet and easy to read.

:bowdown: to both!
