The Inkscape tutorials are included in Inkscape's standard help menu and particularly cool... Because they're actually all Inkscape documents.
So when the tutorial can just tell you to click and rotate the rectangle just below and you can just do that.
That's pretty neat, and it's a pity that it just isn't possible or as easy in other kinds of programs.
Vim has that same kind of tutorial, that you can access right within the application. Such a nice feature.
I didn't know that about Inkscape, now I really want to try that one.
So does emacs 😝🤣
I like that. Tutorials that are like looking through a clarification window to the documentation itself.
Takes great documentation, forethought and organization.
So that's a good sign.
Yeah, but in many kinds of applications you simply can't easily build a file that seamlessly combines documentation and content.
When it's possible, it's truly the most awesome way to implement a tutorial.
