We've got a few questions about using the Flossmanuals interface.<br>
<br>
But first I wanted to say how cool it is to see who's editing what,<br>
via <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Mifos/WebHome" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Mifos/WebHome</a> and the<br>
<a href="http://irc.freenode.net#flossmanuals" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net#flossmanuals</a>. Great work!<br>
<br>
1. Is it possible to link to other sections of a book? For instance,<br>
link to the Glossary from somewhere in the Introduction? If yes, is<br>
this advisable/recommended?<br></blockquote><div><br>You can, by using the URL that is in the published manual (such as <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/Audacity/InstallingUbuntu">http://en.flossmanuals.net/Audacity/InstallingUbuntu</a>). But you don't have a published manual yet - which you naturally asked about in the next question. <br>
<br>Generally, we discourage links to other chapters for a couple of reasons:<br><br>
1. links do not render well in print <br>
2. if a <span class="il">chapter</span> is renamed or deleted you might make the <span class="il">link</span> outdated<br>3. if the manual is translated, links have to be "translated" too so that they point to the correct language<br>
<br>These are mostly maintenance issues. <br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
2. How does publishing (ie: making "live") work? Does one of us<br>
working on the Mifos manual do the publishing?<br></blockquote><div><br>When you want to publish a draft, send an email to the list and someone with publish privileges will publish it. Typically this doesn't take long. We can talk more about adding privileges to a maintainer person if you think that's the right model for your group - see <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/FLOSSManuals/Maintainers">http://en.flossmanuals.net/FLOSSManuals/Maintainers</a>.<br>

<br>
3. Is there some kind of review process? i.e.: can we accept or reject<br>
individual changes?<br></blockquote><div><br>Generally, the work flow is not complex enough to "reject" a change. You would simply revert to a previous version of the chapter. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
4. I'm editing a long chapter. 1. I insert a screenshot. 2 I position<br>
the cursor at the end of the shot and press Enter. 3. All the chapter<br>
below that screenshot disappears. what is the recommended way to<br>
create a new line underneath a screenshot?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>This may be a bug. Perhaps switch to source view and see if it still happens?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
5. How does one adjust font size inside tables?<br></blockquote><div><br>Hm. As far as I know, you'd have to use the source view and use font size markup, which is probably not a good idea since I'm not sure how it would look in the resulting HTML and PDF, so your hand markup might get clobbered anyway upon output. Is it too small or too big? Maybe someone else on the list would have ideas for you. <br>
<br>Hope this helps - <br>Anne <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Thank you!<br>
