This is an interesting take, but (from a wikibooks perspective) these kinds of things would get out-of-date quickly if they were manually updated.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. > Maybe we should support to handle Ref/Note that way. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ref/doc 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". >> 6) Math formulas are generally very well rendered and handled, >> although integrals, limits and summations seem to be a bit cramped. > Can you give us an example of this.

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. >> 7) "articles" should each begin on a new page (I'm using the word >> "article" here so as not to be confused with the collections concepts >> of "chapter" and "page"). > I am confused. article == module != wiki-page ? 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: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/e/e4/Control_Systems.pdf >> 8) Chapter headings should probably be on their own page, not just as >> a bigger heading before the next chapter heading. > Chapters always start on top of the next right-hand page.

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! --Andrew Whitworth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mwlib" group.
