Documentation updates

[duncan]

We’ve been improving some pages in our documentation:

• Popups | Sparkle Documentation (use cases/tutorials)
• Animation | Sparkle Documentation (use cases/tutorials)
• Payment | Sparkle Documentation (features of the payment services)
• Publishing and Exporting | Sparkle Documentation (troubleshooting)
• Maps | Sparkle Documentation (new legacy map mode)
• The User Interface | Sparkle Documentation (layers panel)

please let me know if you find the new tutorials interesting/useful, and if you have suggestions to expand other parts of the documentation. And if you find any typo I can fix it right away.

Thanks!

Is this available as a PDF?

[duncan]

Not currently. We do plan to make a PDF.

Just wondering why make a pdf when the browser can do that? And why isn’t the documentation versioned for the iPhone since Sparkle is so good at that?

[duncan]

Hi @Sparkletter, the PDF version is intended to be printed and is formatted more like a book, even though the content ends up being essentially the same.

We are in the process of making the mobile layout for the documentation as well. It’s a website project we have since Sparkle 1 and have been progressively improving it, we’ll get around to that as well.

I downloaded crossfading-header.sparkle example and in Safari preview it looks like that:

Is this what is expected?

Oh apologies for that. Looks like it needs 3.1.2, which we intended to have released by now. It’s coming in the next few days.
