Hi Sigrid,
I finally had a chance to look at the first chapter of the Draw Guide on
the wiki. This is a good start. Here are a few things to do or change:

1) When doing a new chapter, cut out all the stuff at the start of the
chapter file: copyright info, etc. (I just did that for this chapter.)

2) Remove the <center> </center> tags from around the figures. (I just
did this.)

3) Add some extra code on the figures to put them in a frame with the
figure caption showing. Check the other books for the style to use; it
is something like this:

[[Image:filename.png|thumb|none|500px|''Caption text'']]

4) Put code at top and bottom of page, to get the copyright and category
info at the bottom, a displaytitle at the top, and the TOC at the side.
(I just did this.)

5) Split the file into pages for the chapter and make a chapter TOC. I
assume you were going to do that after any other problems were taken
care of, or perhaps you're working on it now.

6) I agree with Nino about better filenames for the figures in the other
chapters. No need to change the ones in this chapter.

7) The Copyright page is for the whole book, not just Chapter 1, so you
need to include all of the authors' names for the whole book. Also I
think the Acknowledgements section is different too.
