I'm sorry, but the last version is still far from even being less-than-perfect. I cannot in good faith let users read such documentation. And what if the FSF decides to print this version of the manual and sell it as a book? I still feel that I'm somewhat in the dark regarding some of the issues, which does not let me suggest the correct wording. Some questions I asked were left with no answer, and my suggestion to show fragments of the VCG file created by the various options remained a suggestion. If someone wants to help by explaining this stuff better, that would be most welcome. Anyway, I will try to rewrite the last version using the information that Hui did provide in response to my questions. I hope I will be able to do that.
