Over the years, I've written a few articles and a lot of lengthy forum posts, and made many examples for people.
I've decided it's about time I found them, updated them, and posted them on a website of my own (just as an online reference - I'm not trying to make another interactive/community site).
Anyway, here's a sample article: http://cid-b1e7ee094271bbda.office.live.com/self.aspx/Public/LoS.mht
Obviously none of the links work, and there's no menu/header yet.
I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the overall style/presentation before I go any further, as I'll want to keep it as consistent as possible.
In case anyone's curious, this example is part of a "Zombie Widget" I'm making (a detector-less AI Zombie object, that you can just drop straight into a game, without having to code any events).

I love the styles you've made for the MMF event sections. It's always seemed strange to me that we don't have such a thing here or at Clickteam's forums yet.
A header would be nice. I'd also suggest colour and line height (easier to read if it's a bit larger) but those things can be changed in the css file later. If I had to suggest something for the articles in particular, I'd say pictures/diagrams would be nice. But content-wise I can't fault it

Thanks for the suggestions 
It would be really useful to have the event-editor style formatting here, and I'm sure it's been suggested before.
I guess we'd only really need these new tags:
* event (container for the other tags)
* line number (grey button type box; floated left)
* immediate condition (bullet point; colored red)
* normal condition (bullet point)
* or - logical & filtered (empty tag; inserts the word "OR" colored blue)
* action (offset to the right)
* comment (colored background?)
eg.
<event>
<line>1</line>
<comment>This event does something</comment>
</event>
<event>
<line>2</line>
<immediatecondition>Object_1 collides with Object_2</immediatecondition>
<orfiltered>
<condition>Object_1 : Flag 0 is off</condition>
<action>Destroy Object_1</action>
<action>Add 1 to Global Value A</action>
</event>
(obviously abbreviated tag names would be better)
