-===== Pipeline v3s File =====
+====== V3S ======
-The .v3s file is an ASCII file that can be saved to disk and can be edited with any common word processing program such as [[Notepad%2B%2B|Notepad++]]. When Visual3D loads the .v3s file it parses this ASCII file into the individual commands that are displayed in the pipeline dialog.
+A .v3s file extension indicates a Visual3D [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:pipeline_overview|pipeline]] script. Once a pipeline has been created in the [[visual3d:tutorials:pipeline:advanced_pipeline_commands#pipeline_editor|Pipeline Workshop]] it can be saved (Save Pipeline As...) for use later.
-==== Saving a pipeline ====
+Visual3D saves .v3s files to the hard drive as an ASCII file which can be [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:pipeline_overview#editing_pipeline_scripts|edited through the Visual3D interface]] or with any common word processing program such as [[https://notepad-plus-plus.org/|Notepad++]]. When Visual3D loads a .v3s file it parses this ASCII file into the individual pipeline commands that are displayed in the pipeline dialog.
-Once a pipeline has been created in the Pipeline Workshop it can be saved (Save Pipeline As...) for use later. The pipeline can be opened in a text editor such as Notepad++.
+===== Editing Scripts as Text =====
