This first section looks good as is;
but does have a few grammatical errors which I'll point out in [
]s.
In spite of what some computer users say or do, I'll continue to
stick with proper grammar -
after a period in a sentence there should be 2 spaces even though
these machines default to only 1;
and double quotes are for conversations - single quotes - or in
your Norwegian << >> - would be used for empasis, et.al.
And BTW - looks as if you've spent a lot of time creating a very
good site & program,
How to open LibreLogo in LibreOffice
The great majority who use LibreOffice do not know there is a Logo variant
in Writer. There are no direct links to LibreLogo on the menus. The only
way, I think, is to open a new text document. In the main menu at the top
of the page, press the View → Toolbars → Logo. This will open the
LibreLogo toolbar. This toolbar contains some buttons to control the
turtle and a command line where you can enter commands. Press on one of the
buttons to bring up the turtle.
['great' is superfluous ...
'I think' is superfluous; you're the writer therefore this can either
be left out or changed to possibly or probably ...
'turtle' ...
command line to enter commands.]

The Buttons on the Menubar
Every time you press on buttons Backward and Forward the turtle will be
moved 10 pixels backwards or forwards. Buttons Right and Left will turn
the turtle 15º clockwise or counter-clockwise. Button Home moves the
turtle to the starting point in the middle of the page with the head
upwards. Clear screen will remove all drawings from the page. Start and
Stop are used to start and stop the execution of the program. The command
line is used for entering commands, one line at a time. The button to the
right of the command line is used to configure all commands with large
letters and to translate the program into other languages. This is not
used in this overview.
[Each time you press on any button - ...
will move ...
backward or forward ...]
If the purpose is to learn programming, only the command line and buttons
to clear the screen and put the turtle back is helpful. The others buttons
is used to create shapes without programming.
[are helpful. The other buttons are]

Yes, I appreciate all help.
But there is no hurry.
And yes. « equals (start) "; » equal (end) ". Single quotes are used as in
English.

>> Programming with LibreLogo
>>
>> *Libre Logo is a dialect of the programming language Logo, which was
>> developed both acting as a tool for introduction to programming and for
>> better understanding of mathematics. Basically a mechanical 'turtle' was
>> programmed from a computer. In later editions the mechanical **'turtle'
>> was replaced by a turtle like symbol and the language became expanded.
>> Also LibreLogo can do more than moving the turtle, but since it probably
>> is
>> the turtle graphics that will be used by most people, I have placed the
>> most emphasis on that part.*

>> This introduction was based on the version of LibreLogo as used in
>> LibreOffice from version 4.2 on but slightly modified for version 5.0 if
>> necessary.

>>
>> What differs Logo from other programming languages is the turtle. Getting
>> the turtle to draw more or less complex shapes on the screen set the usual
>> requirements for the programmer to be precise both in writing, logic and
>> mathematics. Since the results of the programming becomes visible in an
>> understandable manner as soon as the program is executed, this also

>> anything else than a triangle, it is up to the programmer to figure out
>> what is wrong in the program. Did you wonder why Logo sometimes is called
