We are expanding the documentation which is extensive already but not complete. {C-h h d d} give you a demo of some quickly useful features. {C-h i d m hyperbole RET} lets you browse the manual with some images embedded. Reading key parts of this will give you a much better idea of what you can do with it. There are also HTML and PDF versions in the hyperbole-5.12/man/ directory. There is also the project homepage.
