It has always been my intention to make townguide do what you want. There is the basic code in it to make a book format output but it does not work properly.
I am working on a new release of townguide building on Waldemar's excellent Google Summer of Code project. I can fix the booklet generation as part of this if it would be useful. All offers of help appreciated!

Obviously it only currently does single page format, but the rendering infrastructure, user interface etc is all there. To be a bit clearer about what I'm talking about, picture a book of say 200 pages, covering a very large city (eg, Melbourne, Australia where I live - approx 4 million people spread over a ridiculously large area). There's a street index at the back, but that's only tangential to the maps - not the central goal. So the hard bit is setting up a structure to impose a grid structure over the inhabited parts of the city, rendering it all, and adding all the cross references between pages. Oh, and then, printing and binding :) Steve _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] htt...
