From c38b2de6305ea192096c0c9cad04bd12237f2fc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 17:21:55 -0600 Subject: documentation/dev-manual: New Layer section and metadata link anchor The change to the dev-manual-newbie.xml file was minor. I added a link anchor for the term "metadata." The change to the dev-manual-common-tasks.xml was extensive. I have added an entirely new section on layers called "Understanding and Using Layers." The new material has several sub-sections. Information was based on emails from Paul Eggleton.
