Section 1.1.9 talks about POV-Ray 3.5.  I know that these features were 
introduced in 3.5, but it could potentially be reworded to point out that the 
current version is 3.6

Section 1.2.7.2 is empty.

Section 1.2.7.7 is incomplete.

Section 1.5.7.10 has out of date info about the future availability of the 
"Reach for the Stars poster".

Section 1.7.4 mentions "Halo" and "atmosphere" but not "media".

Section 2.1.7 Some of the typefaces do not match their description.  E.g. 
"keyword" is monospaced but not bold* and "C:\MYFILE.POV" is in all caps, but 
not monospaced.

* In fact, keywords are not bold anywhere in the document.

Section 2.3.4.11 has the words "povmap.bmp on Windows systems" in bold.  I don't 
know if this is intentional, but it seems odd.

Section 2.3.11 has the same title as 2.3.3.3 but very different content.  It can 
be confusing when looking at the table of contents for chapter 2.

Section 2.4.10 has the same content as section 2.2.8.

Section 2.5 is entitled "TBD".

Section 2.5.1 mentions POV-Ray version 3.5.

Section 2.5.2.3 mentions POV-Ray version 3.5.

Section 2.5.3.1.1 mentions povray35.exe

Section 2.5.3.1.3 mentions POV-Ray version 3.5.

That's it for tonight.  I don't think the SDL doc has changed all that much, but 
if you guys think it's worth having a look, I could.  I have to proofread lots 
of stuff at work and I have developped an eye for it.

Thanks!  However, we are fully aware that the documentation is not final.

It won't hurt if someone takes a look at them.

BTW, please note that the tutorial section hasn't changed much either, some
of the things you reported were no different in 3.5 docs.

This is the result of less deep nesting that in the 3.5 docs. I think 
both sections can be removed completely.

I'll have a look at that.

I've merged the two isosurface tutorials, only 2.3.3.3 will stay.
