Hello all,
Is there a way to export *all* of the HTML source from a FLOSS manual?
We can export some chapters using the following method, but only some:

In trying to get all of the source, we're running into several problems.
1. We can't select more than one chapter at a time, which makes it
tedious.
2. Worse, we can only move early chapters -- ones near the top of the
list -- into the Remix Box. To select chapters from far down the list,
we have to scroll down and the remix box scrolls off the top. Firefox
doesn't scroll it back into view unless we let go of the chapter (grr!).
3. If we zoom out to where we can see both the chapter list and the
remix box at the same time, the chapters are so small we can't
accurately pick them up.
Thanks! - MikeDash
