** I pulled the latest svn this evening, looks pretty good. I'll wait
until you've finished your edits before messing about any further.

** Yes, that is a potential problem using this method. Maybe a standard
practice, at the Section level, leave the first paragraph in
wsjtx-main.txt or something?

** Section 9: The JT9 Protocol, decoding discrete blocks
- I found a few Asciidoc plug-in's that may be useful in building a
diagram for this. It would require a couple small python modules, but
they are in the repo's. The following links illustrate the possibilities:

Main Plug-in Page: http://asciidoc.org/plugins.html
Diag Specific Page: https://code.google.com/p/asciidoc-diag-filter/

- I can have a crack at this, but I'm not sure I fully understand all
the elements in play, so it may need a bit of editing after.

** To Build: ./build-doc.sh toc2
- We can drop the .sh extension(s) if it is easier to use that way.

General Comments:

** build-check.sh
- I have the basic script finished. As it stands now it only pulls the
"review" flag, as the files have not been updated yet.

- If we want to utilize this capability, it may be worth writing up what
which tags will be used initially, then I can add to the check
capabilities for them.

- The tag line can contain more that just status=review, etc etc. It
could have release version info, editor, or whatever information is
deemed appropriate. Then we simply parse the line for whatever is needed.

** Stylesheet, Config, and .js
- It's too much for this post, but I'll send a separate e-mail on
recommendations for setting up a standalone build system, which will
allow customizing the stylesheet.
