Mohammad et al, I have being happy simply generating a bespoke tiddler that includes the content I want, it would be simple to decide when to display footnotes etc... on a page or at the end of the document/chapter.
Now of course the whole suite of features a professional author may want could be incorporated in one or more editions, and most of this is I believe only a matter of design with a few exceptions. The key issue that I face is the ability to see a preview that allows one to see where page breaks will occur based on the printer pages and portrait and landscape modes that are only set once you get the printer driver selected. It is then possible to insert additional page breaks where you want them forced but you have to exit the print preview for this. It seems to me what we need is a way to preview content according to how it will be interpreted by the print driver, and make changes that will be saved into tiddlywiki so the document retains this structure in subsequent prints. So what I am saying is whilst I stand to be corrected this is the only structural issue I can see that we need to resolve that I cant see the method to solve it, where as everything else seems to me to be a simple mater of design with our existing tools. So I ask this question: *Any idea how to solve this page sizing / break issue?* Beyond that, what standard could we use against which to develop the necessary components? I would be happy to share in knocking each of the list one by one. eg: Footnotes and citations excerpt or full at bottom of every page, every second page, end of chapter or end of book? Page headings and footers? eg; a generic tiddler used to structure each heading and footer, etc...
