[TYPO3-dev] A few thoughts about extension manuals.

[Daniel Bruessler]

Hello,

perfection is the problem. We have a good solution, and that can be
optimized. First is to help with removing rendering-problems. Another is
pdf. Everybody can export an OpenOffice-manual to pdf with just a click.
Why is just a little number of people who do this?

Cheers!
Daniel
