Customer opinion on the output: why are figures not where I expect them to be? Most of the figures are HD screenshots. Moving them around sucks. I'll try the no label thing. But labels are useful. HTML export is not doing that. LaTeX is an interim tool to get the PDF output. Would it be possible to use Artefact instead? LaTeX toolchain is *huge*.
