when you publish the manual you get individual links to each chapter
just as it has worked until now.

the links will change. i had a big issue with this last week. i switched
everything over to the new system but of course all the links to
chapters in manuals were changed. so i had to revert this. it was my
fault - i did not anticipate this. i got so many emails at least i know
people use the manuals now ;) 

so..i had to revert a few things. we *will* start publishing from
booki.flossmanuals.net in the next weeks. i think what i will do is make
a little web form so if you want to redirect an old link to the new one
then you can enter this info into the form, i get an email then add this
info into the .htaccess file for redirects

this is all a little circular. im not exactly sure what you mean...can
you explain this a little clearer...maybe with an example?

we can deal with that. the old system did not let you deal with that.
the new one does. but lets cross that bridge when we get to it

drag it into 'hold' at the bottom

they dont yet work. they will do. we are first localising booki. this
will be done by the end of feb...then we work on the translation process
which is essentially an import process from one booki to another with a
few added extras
