This is an interesting take, but (from a wikibooks perspective) these
kinds of things would get out-of-date quickly if they were manually
updated. Maybe better would be to take the list of contributors from
the collection page history as the list of editors. Of course, that
doesn't help us when we want to put a name on the cover.

That's a good idea, but Wikibooks doesn't have those same exact
templates but it should be easy enough to copy certain features of it
like class="reference".

Integrals, Limits, and summations have their bounds printed to the
left as ordinary subscripts and superscripts, when they should appear
above and below. Some of these symbols seem like they're smaller in
the printed book then they should be. Integrals should be about 1.5x
larger then a digit, for instance.

It is confusing! Here's an outline:

; This is a book "chapter"
:[[This is a book "page"]]

chapters are just headings that break groups of pages. The chapter
name should appear on it's own page. Every wiki "page" should also
start on it's own book page. Take a look at this PDF to see how I did
it here:

Maybe I'm mistaken about this, I guess I didn't realize you were
already doing it this way. Sorry!

Thanks for reading through all this mess, I'll let you know as I find
more things. In whole, the results are very very good and I am happy
with the book I got!
