Crew,

I created a format for developing tutorials and was wondering if it was
alright to implement it. An example of it can be found here:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Tutorial-PCSX2-0-9-8-Quick-Start-Guide

It focuses deeply on the user experience and limits additional content so
that tutorial - user - application relationship can move swiftly. It retains
the users attention as they remain on-task because the brain works on a
punishment / rewards system. The more rewards (successes), the more they
continue. Many of my terms include actions that appear as single word verbs
such as:


*Download Instruction*
Application Name PHPBB Style [*][b]OpenGL2 PSX GPU Plugin[/b] [url=
http://www.pbernert.com/gpupeteogl209.zip]DOWNLOAD MIRROR[/url]

*Translation*
The above is saying "Take this link, make it Bold, and instead of giving the
link, make it say "DOWNLOAD MIRROR"


*Clicking Instruction*
[*]Open gpupeopssoftwin118b.zip
[*]Click FILE -> SELECT ALL -> Click EXTRACT TO


*Translation
*This is a list, the first action is "OPEN" then filename
Second, CLICK (ALT KEY, bring to the top of the application), Choice,
Choice, Choice, etc.

*
Folder Instructions*
[*]Locate the /PSX/PLUGINS Folder in the Middle-Right Box
[*]Click OK[/list]


*Translation
*Keyword "LOCATE" and /folder/folder/folder/ etc
CLICK OK


Please let me know if you understand my custom format or have any questions.
Also, I'd like to know if there are similar phpbb style codes to do this
with (like the ones previously mentioned).
