[Scrollkeeper-devel] Re: scrollkeeper category tree

[Alexander K. <kir...@ma...>]

Thanks!
BTW, I tried to find it on scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net, and not only I
couldn't find the tree itself but even its existence was hidden deep
inside ScrollKeeper 0.2 Specifications. All other pages (e.g., the top
level page) just referred to 16-element OMF specification from metalab,
which says nothing about the category tree. IMHO, existence of this tree
- and the fact that it should be strictly enforced when writing OMF
files - should be prominently  posted on scrollkeeper web page.
