Hi Edward,

Yes, but bookipublisher is not currently maintained. (Another reason why
I have suggested using Booktype for FM as a single-layer read/write
interface, it is fully localizable including Russian).

No, you just need to create new chapters in the edit interface with
Latin titles, copy the content into them, then put the original Cyrillic
chapters in the hold chapter area. Then republish.

Only a few people have shell access - Adam, Mick, not sure who else.

>>> Also, there is no title in Russian. It should be something like Как
>>> обойти интернет-цензуру.

>> That does work, you need to set it with the bookinfo plugin.

> I have no idea how to do that.

With a login for:

http://www.flossmanuals.net/admin.php

Please ask for a login if you don't have one, with the URLs of the books
you would like to admin. Mick or I can set that up.

Cheers!

Daniel
