INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS FOR MNV			 *mnv-tutor-mode*

mnv-tutor-mode provides a system to follow and create interactive tutorials
for mnv and third party plugins.  It replaces the venerable `mnvtutor` system.

1. Usage                                                      *mnv-tutor-usage*

mnv-tutor-mode tutorials are hypertext documents, they have rich text and
contain links.  To stand out from the rest of the text, links are underlined.
You can follow them by placing the cursor over them and pressing <Enter>, or
by double-clicking them.

1.1 Commands
------------
								      *:Tutor*
:Tutor [tutorial]	Opens a tutorial.  Command-line completion for
			[tutorial] is provided, the candidates are a list of
			".tutor" files found in the "tutor/<lang>/"  folder in
			the 'runtimepath'.  Tutorials prefixed with "mnv-"
			will always be shown first.

			If no [tutorial] is provided, the command starts the
			"mnv-01-beginner" tutorial, which is equivalent to
			MNV's `mnvtutor`, chapter 1.

			Uses the translated tutorial for the current message
			language if possible (|v:lang|), e.g. to open the
			chapter 1 of the Italian tutor, use: >

			:lang it_IT.UTF-8
			:Tutor
<

2. Creating tutorials                                        *mnv-tutor-create*

Writing mnv-tutor-mode tutorials is easy.  For an overview of the format used,
please consult the "tutor.tutor" file: >

    :Tutor tutor
<
New tutorials must be placed in the 'tutor/' folder in the 'runtimepath'
to be detected by the :Tutor command.

It is recommended to use a less formal style when writing tutorials than in
regular documentation (unless the content requires it).
