I'm sure that this, like most of my points, isn't going to work equally well on all wikis. I think it really is the better choice for Wikibooks, however, at least for most of our books. Maybe the different needs could best be served with a checkbox or some other kind of toggle that would allow an editor to judge for themselves the aesthetic and environmental tradeoffs in creating a book. It's not BAD the way it is now, but I personally think that for my applications it could be better. --Andrew Whitworth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mwlib" group.
