Wiki print out ??

I am starting scripting, as a dyslexic I need a list of commands to hand to check spelling, and notes on syntax...
I would like to print out the commands as a list, and a manual giving the use of all the commands.

Has anyone got an easy way to get a print out of the WIKI ?

Regards Jonathan

If you go in to your Second Life folder on your computer... assuming default installation, it would be C:\Program Files\Second Life.

there is a copy of the LSL scripting guide right there.

the scripting guide is about as useless as a visual output for the blind

in the past there was someone that had a HTML copy of the wiki so you could DL it, altho ive never heard anything about it since, so i would imagine its out of date

altho this "feat" can be done using internet explorer and the synchronize tool, infact i just did it last night, you still end up with a large wad of random, non oginized HTML pages, not cool if you intend to print it

I synced with it becuse ive been toying around with php, and thought a little in world pocket wiki doo-hicky would be handy(then it started getting late, im gonna fiddle with it tonight some) , but one thing that has and still is looming over my head ...

most of us are aware of the dropdown box, which contains all the functions, events,ect altho a pain in the butt becuase you have to scroll tru a 3 mile long list of stuff, its better than nothing (IMO it could use the same thing that the Sim selector now uses on the map)

another thing is the LSL editor window, if you imput the wrong stuff, functions wont turn red ect, and with the worst case you will have to debug your script, which you will probally have to do anyway heh

and the last "questionable conflict" with my project is the mouseover, if you put your mouse over any hard set functions in LSL it will bring up text, which is usually the same first cupple lines on the wiki about the said function

so theres a few options for all of us to check syntax, without killing a tree (heh like i care, thats why we have tree farms) constant alt-tabbing, working in a tiny window or whatever else

There lsl_guide.html file mentioned above is adequate for use as a memory aid and reference guide for function and event names, constants, etc. It is not intended as a complete tutorial on scripting. It is a linear piece of text that can easily be printed, though you might want to edit it to suit you before printing it.

The entries in that for functions look like:



There is another file, in C:\Program Files\SecondLife\app_settings, called keywords.ini that could, with a little editing, be a useful extremely concise "cheat sheet" for some things.

To use this file you would want to copy it it and use the copy. This is the file with the popup help for the LSL script editor, so you don't want to mess with the original.

It has event names, with parameter lists, etc. in a format like:



A little editing - maybe bolding the keywords, double spacing after each description - and you'd have a fairly condensed, readable though incomplete LSL summary.
