The Command Glossary in the OpenSCAD User Manual is totally outdated by now
(03.2015).
When OpenSCAD evolves the wiki gets updated, but the Command Glossary stays
unchanged.
The CheatSheet (http://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/index.html) has taken
the function
of the Command Glossary and it does get updated regularly.
I propose that we will remove the Command Glossary completely and link to
the CheatSheet instead. Also I dont know how to do this technically.

This is a big deletion and I would like to discus this here with you first.

I agree. Minimizing duplication is a good thing.

Removing the duplication is certainly a good thing.

The result is a bit strange though as the manual then links to the cheatsheet
which then in turn links back to the manual for details :-).

Is there maybe a way to put the data into the manual in some specifically
formatted way and just generate the cheatsheet from that (e.g. using the
XML export feature for that page)?

ciao,
Torsten.
