That is the bad point. I understand NG as built on ITOOLS with simpler
and more appealing syntax. Unfortunately NG's documentation is quasi
non existing: you must rely on "Itools user guide from 7.1" (in
particular on chapter on ITools procedural interface). Furthermore,
some ITOOLS capabilities have disappeared in NG! For instance, you
still can use the undocumented STYLE_NAME keyword, but the "style
editor" is no longer available (afaik) in NG (you must open an ITools
to get it). You still can create a new (personal) style for NG, like
in v7.1, but you are no longer able to select it from v8
preferences... A mess, which might definitely discourage NG users !
