That means no cut-and-past for code use.<br>
Don't know what problem that author was having, leading to the image use.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

What's more, not being able to copy/paste code snippets from the PDF<br>
(or wiki) is a serious regression.<br>

I'm looking at the Modify Sugar chapter. Do we really need to use a<br>
variable-width font for code snippets? If so, this is a serious bug.<br>
It makes it much more difficult to make the connection between the<br>
actual experience using the command line and what you see in the<br>
manual. How did the Command Line manual cope with this?<br>

Hi all -<br>
I am thinking the Sugar Guide is ready for one last look before I publish to<br>
PDF and HTML.<br>
<br>
It's still on the WRITE side of FLOSS Manuals, so feel free to do any<br>
last-minute proofing and edits here:<br>
<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/WebHome" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/WebHome</a><br>
<br>
We had some technical hurdles to overcome since it's our first version<br>
update on a manual (way to lead the way Sugar!). But I think enough bugs are<br>
worked out to allow publishing tomorrow (Friday 3/27).<br>
<br>
Final items:<br>
<br>
Walter or someone with python knowledge, could you review the "Modifying<br>
Sugar" chapter at<br>
<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ModifyingSugar" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ModifyingSugar</a>? I had to take<br>
all the code examples (python and svg xml) and put them into images so that<br>
the PDF generation will work.<br>
There's a problem with misnumbered chapters for which I've logged a trac<br>
issue and Aco has taken: <a href="http://adam.engagetv.com/trac/ticket/81" target="_blank">http://adam.engagetv.com/trac/ticket/81</a>.<br>
Walter, David, and Adam - let's talk about getting an ISBN for this book if<br>
we want to sell it on Amazon. If we do decide to sell it on Amazon, we'll<br>
need a new book cover to match Crown Quarto dimensions. (The dimensions are<br>
190mm x 250mm and the page count is 226.)<br>
<br>
Thanks, all, for your assistance and patience.<br>
<br>
Anne<br>
