whether to include a fantastic new feature coming with OOo3.0, that is a
LaTex-like anchoring which allows you to anchor the graphics to the
paragraph but with some degree of flexibility. I tried it and in some
occasions it prevents the big white spaces at the end of the page that
are associated with the strict paragraph anchoring.
What do you think?
I think we should *not* include in a currently-available chapter
anything scheduled for a future release of OOo, especially a
major one like 3.0. It will just confuse many readers.
I suggest that you make a new folder for version 3.0 WG docs and
put a copy of the chapter (containing the 3.0 info) in that
folder. That way it's ready to go when the s/w is released.
In fact, it's probably time to start folders for v3.0 for all the
books, so anyone who wants to work with the betas and write up
new features can have a home for the chapters to be reviewed and
edited and stored until time to release them. That's more or less
what we did in the runup from 1.x to 2.0.
Further thoughts... at this point in the 2.x cycle (with 3.0 due
out in 6 months or less), we should encourage everyone to start
working on the 3.0 guides as soon as they can get their hands on
a beta version of 3.0.
