Hi,

I've spent the last few days figuring out asciibook PDF themes, their
capabilities, limitations, and gotchas. A lot of trial and error but now I
have something that's workable.

I've uploaded a rendered Web Book and PDF version of the Trafodion SQL
Reference Manual or rather, the pieces I've ported so far:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxlwNhWxn8iTOGUyRElvMDFQcWs

A couple of limitations:

1. Can't use text formatting in example blocks. So, no italics.
2. Can't indent text without custom CSS work, which does not translate into
the PDF rendering. You have to use bullets and sub-bullets to achieve
indentation.
3. Ellipses do not translate correctly; have to use HTML code instead.

I'd like your input on:

1. This guide is VERY link rich including links within a subsection. For
example, see the ALTER TABLE Statement. Should we remove the
within-statement links?
2. I go back and forth on syntax highlighting mostly because the
highlighter doesn't know verbs such as "invoke", which makes the
highlighting inconsistent. Keep or replace with plain text?

Happy New Year,

Gunnar
