This is great, thanks. Another researcher whose material (posts and videos) of using Tinderbox to make notes about academic texts that some might find interesting is Dominique Renauld: http://www.dominiquerenauld.net/taking-notes-with-tinderbox-1 He has quite a few posts but his website has gotten harder to navigate. He also published a free French ebook on using Tinderbox for notetaking which is a worthwhile download to skim even if you don’t read the language: http://www.dominiquerenauld.net/ebooks-interactifs

I hope that you’ll forgive me for saying so, but you’re very modest Steve! Your blog posts on Tinderbox (https://welcometosherwood.wordpress.com/tinderbox/) and accompanying videos (https://vimeo.com/user14236198) remain in my view (and, it seems, also Beck Tench’s) the best way of learning the application, at least to begin with.

I second that. When I bought Tinderbox initially many years ago, I got so frustrated trying to understand it , I ended up shelving it under “Life is too short for this” and stopped using it ( It also didn’t help that Tinderbox had a very basic user manual back then , which vastly improved since) . It’s when I discovered later Steve’s blog and read his introduction articles that it rekindled my interest In Tinderbox and some things that previously seemed completely opaque started making sense again.
You should definitely write some kind of “Tinderbox for Dummies” book Steve !

That’s very kind of you, Hugh, Prion and Skywatcher. It is gratifying to know those posts and videos have aided people in using Tinderbox.
Thank you.
