In fairness, by Mac product standards, the TB documentation is actually
quite voluminous. I¹d agree though that it doesn¹t necessarily explain how
to achieve solutions ­ it¹s more a summary of form and basic function.
However, what do you mean by Œdecent¹? The term doesn¹t help those of us who
might help you understand what¹s missing. Rather than dwell on negatives,
have you tried these resources?
* Tinderbox wiki: http://www.eastgate.com/wiki2/wiki.cgi?TinderboxWiki
* My ³aTbRef² Tinderbox notes: http://www.acrobatfaq.com/tbx/index.html
* The release notes TBX included with the program¹s download disk image.

I suspect like many (me included) you want more worked examples; learning
from example is so much easier. The problem for multi-purpose tools like
Tinderbox is one person¹s needs are of little use to others so examples can
lead to manual bloat. Also, if the few people writing examples don¹t know
the desired niche subject it¹s hard to think up specimens until given some
context to work with. Just assembling content for an example TBX can take a
while...

As people¹s tasks vary so much, it¹s hard to predict what¹s needed. The
wiki¹s a good place to start asking questions and I¹d also note Eastgate are
very responsive to their users with problems.
