I caught some cold so it has slowed me down a bit, hopefully I'll do another one by tonight.]]> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:23:51 -0000 Trustmaster Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:48:07 -0000 musiconly

Another one finished. "Including HTML files in skin files and pages"]]> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 20:26:21 -0000 Trustmaster Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:38:34 -0000 musiconly
I have to split it in more pages, because it will be too long for a one page.

This is basically just info from neocrome.net about general things, the first real thing should be done tomorrow.

Added 17 hours 59 minutes later:

Added XTemplate overview.

This was probably the hardest part for me, because I had to find all the info regarding the new XTemplate. So please correct if something is wrong.

I hope to add another doc tomorrow.]]> Sat, 01 Aug 2009 06:30:44 -0000 Trustmaster ]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:57:18 -0000 musiconly
BUT, if someone more experienced (one of the designers, dot, sergeich, stam or anyone else) would like to do this, I'd be happy to leave it to him - he might now some tricks I don't know :)]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:37:42 -0000 Trustmaster
