[Xerte] tutor

[Julian Tenney]

You will have to grapple with some scripting to build interactions in
Xerte. It is just the way it is and always will be. You can build some
simple interactions without scripting, but scripting is where the power
lies. If you want to create rich interactivity of your own design,
scripting is the way to do it. If you really do not want to script, then
you will probably have a better time using the Page Templates template.

You should learn some script. It is not hard to learn. A little script
goes a long way in Xerte because of all the classes behind the scenes
that are doing most of the heavy lifting. The scripting language in
Xerte is very simple, and forgiving for new scripters.

I second what Hal says: Show me how to create interactions without
scripting.
