User manual index

Post by rylleman »

Trying to find something specific in the user manual is often a pain in the butt, an index would solve this quite easy.

I had suggested the same thing. A while back I tried converting it to an ebook and it worked. This is an older manual but you can see it here

and the link to the demo ebook software I used.

If it works for you you might look at converting it to a PDF or ebook with search features.

I think LM had also posted an online version which could work as well by adding a simple free search box from Google.

I think those should be rather unessesary steps to have a manual you actually can find things in faster than in five minutes. An index would be user friendly and I image it wouldn't involve too much work for LM.
