From a0e84189ee77955af14b4e695688ea204ad46572 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:04:01 -0800 Subject: bsp-guide: Added a clarifying not about meta- in BSP layer names. This note provides a bit of a warning or tip regarding naming BSP layers. The letter of the law dictates that you don't need to prepend a BSP layer name with the string "meta-". However, scripts exist in OE where the naming convention is assumed. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
