I've been experimenting with this and I have a couple of problems.

I can't see how to use the same template for the md and for the individual 
chapters.  For one thing, the md has a first page style and a default style, 
which I call Book First Page and Book Default respectively.  The first has 
slightly different margins (I need a narrower right margin so my email address 
doesn't get wrapped).  The second has a header for author/title and page 
numbering.

The individual chapter files don't need a first page style.  What they need is 
a Chapter Heading style with a page break built in and a Chapter Default style 
with first line indent.  Both these styles have double spacing.

One problem I have with the Chapter Default style is that, although I think I 
have configured it with double line spacing, when I come to text line two of a 
document newly formed from this template, I find it has defaulted back to 
single spacing.

If you can talk me through this, perhaps offline so we don't hassle a lot of 
people with stuff they're not interested in, I'd be very grateful.
