I have completed the rewriting and updating of the WG to 5.4. The ODT files for the chapters, and the front and back cover PNG files, are in https://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/writer-guide/published-LO-5.4 Olivier: These files are ready to be "cleaned". I know there are some issues with the labelled figures, for which my apologies. I have compiled the full book from the chapters and am in the process of checking the result. I will put the full book file on ODFAuthors, and everything (ODT and PDF) on the wiki as soon as I can, probably in the next day or two. I'll let you know when that is done. Notes: I incorporated many of Cathy's edits in Chapter 1, but very few in Chapter 2 (which I have moved to be Chapter 20). I agree with almost all of her suggestions, but I lacked the time, and in some cases the knowledge, to implement them in this iteration of the book. Also, I think a lot of the changes she suggested for Ch2 should go into the Help (from which much of this chapter was copied) and/or into the corresponding chapter in the Getting Started Guide. And lastly, I've cut out quite a bit of the chapter completely, or reduced topics to a paragraph, and referred readers to the Help or the GSG. I seriously hope someone will follow up on her suggestions, and indeed I will try to incorporate as many as I can in Writer Guide for LOv6. It's always a struggle between doing it better and getting it done before the book is thoroughly obsolete, and I really dislike not being able to follow up properly on a good, thorough review. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
