Yes there are issues with the new book.

Images cannot show correctly, e.g.
http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/02-Exploring-Symfony-s-Code
Above "Figure 2-1 - The MVC pattern"

At http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/07-Inside-the-View-Layer,
the list below the first paragraph is rendered as <pre>.

And inline tags are not properly escaped, causing problems like:
[http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/07-Inside-the-View-Layer]
The line reads "add other attributes to the <input> tag" but <input> 
is rendered as an HTML element.

But the main problem is that it's disastrous: "Style sheet and 
JavaScript inclusions in the response are performed by a filter called 
sfCommonFilter. It looks for a <head> tag in the response, and adds 
the <link> and <script> just before the closing ..." (the page dies 
after <script>)

This also affect other page, like [http://www.symfony-project.com/book/
trunk/11-Ajax-Integration].
("Basic JavaScript helpers output standards-compliant <script> tags in 
symfony templates")
