Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources hi all, i'm planning on going through the kst documentation to make sure everything is up to date. has anyone had experience with any glaring issues in the current docs? do we think that the time is ripe to polish up the kstscript documentation and put it into the main docbook? there's alot of functionality there which is getting overlooked... regards, duncan.
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

Should include documentation on how to use a plugin in an equation.

The documentation has been updated. A new bug will be entered later to update the documentation to the 1.6 version of Kst.
