[Scid-users] chess diagrams in documents

2010-02-24 Thread Mapleleaf
Hello Gurus, I was wondering if there was a way for SCID to make smaller diagrams when one exports a document. Maybe the problem is that I use the html output? Is there another way to make a high quality chess article with diagrams? Basically I think article output is competitive in every wa
