How to make interactive tutorial for my App

Post by mrcoollion » Thu Apr 21, 2016 2:37 pm

I have been reading about the interactive tutorial language
https://livecode.com/livecode-interactive-tutorials/

However it is not clear to me how I can integrate this language in an existing stack of mine.
I would like to create a button with tutorial as caption which starts the tutorial for a user.

How can i do this!

Regards,

Paul

In the comments for the article you'll find:

Ali, Will the IDE tutorial system eventually be a feature that we developers can use to add interactive help tutorials for our end users?

Ali Lloyd
I hope so, although there’s a fair bit of work to be done to extract it in such a way that it doesn’t rely on the IDE. I don’t anticipate having to change much of the core functionality to make it work though.

It's only a bummer if we decide to wait for the core team to extend their tutorial system. The code's available in the GitHub repository, and I'll bet they'd be thrilled if some interested folks decided to generalize that system as a community project.
