That would be great, Duncan! I think the important things are: 1) Add the new features 2) New screenshots where appropriate 3) Use cases / examples On Tuesday 26 September 2006 18:11, Duncan Hanson wrote: > I've been going through the current documentation.

Should include documentation on how to use a plugin in an equation. *** Bug 92147 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The documentation has been updated.
