looking at the very nice Zguide manual (http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all) and how it was built I stumbled over http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/, which converts html to pdf. I thought I give it a stab and see how the online docs come out in pdf if processed with wkhtmltopdf. I ran those c

I have to disagree with this, you can have unlimited INI options if you call them from your HAL file and as we all know this only confuses new users when they see a snippet in the manual and assume that it is used by LinuxCNC in some way other than how it is used to bring all the settings to on

While they are specific to these drivers, they are still INI options and belong in the INI section. There are lots of INI option that are specific to certain components. I think we just need to note that very few boards utilize it. output_offset was in PNCconf for a long time until I figured out

I've been meaning to bring this up ... output_offset found in the INI section under servo needs some clarification. Not all components / boards use this feature. For instance hostmot2 has no provision for output_offset on it's pwmgen. In fact it seems only servo to go and motenc honors this s
