 == Patterns entries not in the right section ==
 Hexagon & square pattern should be in the discontinuous pattern sub-chapter, not the general pattern sub-chapter.
 Caveat: when Hexagon, Brick, and checker are named together, they should often also be in company of square, object and triangle (such as in http://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Media#Density_with_color_map ), or an ellipsis should be used.
 (for instance: using object pattern in density is supported, despite the sentence not naming it)
 I did not test if square & triangle can have a list in density block of media (instinctively, they should support it too).

		+	Cells and crackle are somehow mixed cases: they are discontinuous at boundary of cell, but there is no limit to the different number of values they can generate. (all in range 0 to 1)
		+	Notice that the tiling pattern is also in the same situation, for the tiling numbers that have more than one kind of tile:
		+	(i.e. : 1, 2, 4 & 10 are the only tiling variants which are "continuous"; all others (up to 27) are discontinuous on the map)
		+
		+	On the opposite, hexagon, brick, checker, object, square and triangle are all patterns which are discontinuous but whose number of value are finite (and small, from 2 up to 6).
		+	I do not know the English to qualify these subtleties.

 With the official documentation in wiki format, it seems like it would be appropriate to embed images of the example code right along with the appropriate section.  This is really more of a style question, both for options for the scene when rendering the example (should probably be standardized as much as possible) and the image should fit in the wiki (size, thumbnails, etc.)
+<p>
 Also, how closely are the other sections going to be associated with the documentation?  For instance, if the docs cover some topic, and there is a HowTo: guide for related aspects, would it be appropriate for the documentation to link to that?  I think some sort of collapsible "See related HowTo articles" might be a good fit.
+<p>
 What should be done to aid searching?  For instance, if I search for "disc", the very first result returned should be the disc section of the official docs.  A series of redirect pages that link to the official docs would work, but I suspect there would be a smarter way.

 In the absence of movement in this area I have created the skeleton of (most of) the documentation as it is laid out in the official documentation. It won't be much longer before the skeleton is complete.<BR>However, I have also started to add [[Documentation:Contents/POV-Ray Reference/Introduction/Notation and Basic Assumptions|content]] and am asking the administrators to please add some classes to (one of) the wiki stylesheets for use in the documentation. So far I have used:
 *"keyword" for styling keywords
