Guide: Wraithlord's dominionsKB *major* ver 1.00

Also, the code tag is broken. Don't edit posts with code tags.

Everyone who gives advice or posts a guide to the forum does so in a public space. I think if your KB includes stuff from there its fine so long as it points out the original source, which it seems you made a good faith effort to do.

This is a very impressive project and has a lot of potential value. How about doing a PDF of it via Open Office or similar document and having links in the TOC? Or just a webpage with a link from the forum?

This looks like it will be the definitive reference for a lot of indepth stuff. Combined with the Strategy Index, the Dom3 DB, the FAQ and the UORMM, it won't leave many stones unturned, but has the benefit of not being much use unless you are already familiar with the mechanics.

Wow, tiger, hold it. Why convert it to PDF or some similar big binary blob format which might even require installing some big program (OO) when everybody's already got a browser? If this is in HTML that's cool, and it could be easily converted into e.g. the CHM format to allow a simple file download, too.

Yeah, I'm sure we could easily convert this into HTML and upload it somewhere. Certainly I could host it if that proved to be a good option.

[Gandalf Parker]

I can host it on the crappy server. And then move it to the good server when its fixed.

Hey, nothing to prevent doing it both ways, though the HTML page system is lighter and more convenient probably. I just like having the option of having stuff available in offline form.

Wow, your feedback is really great Thank you guys.

I'll post the document here and also send it to Gandalf.

The recommended viewer for this is GVIM (preferably with UTL script). With UTL the document feels like a wiki since it contains internal links.

Its quite easy to change to any other format like latex (for generating PDF) or HTML via some script. I can do both if there's demand (though my past experience suggests conversion to latex is much more complex).

Uploading now...

Maybe you will also link to the appropriate viewer, eh?
