I'm trying to work out the best way to format the exercises.<br>
<br>
At the moment, I'm using the following convention<br>
<ul>
<li>
each session is a chapter</li>
<li>chapter is broken down into parts (heading 2)</li>
<li>i'm using normal text for background, descriptions of tasks,
etc.</li>
<li>Italics to indicate that this is an actual task to be
carried out.</li>
<li>Formatted for any data associated with the task</li>
<li>Numbered lists for any instructions, procedure on how to
acheive the task</li>
</ul>
Essentially, I am trying to keep it as simple as possible and then
doing some magic with a custom CSS to make this look cool. </blockquote>

very cool</div></blockquote><div><br>cool cool <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#666666">

<blockquote type="cite">At the mo, it looks pretty fine in the editor, but
understandably the default export CSS doesn't do it justic,
because it is designed for a book, not an exercise book. </blockquote>
<br></div>
ok...looking fwd to see what you do with it...<div class="im"><br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"> I need something a bit more 'arial' but hopefully
that shouldn't be too hard.<br>

<br></div>
also consider using @font-face and look at some of the fonts here:<br>

(its offline for a few days)<br>

A couple of things..<br>
<br>
Booki has previews of each indivual chapter in the interface which
is great - it would be <i>really useful</i> for me to see an _all
preview as well. that sound like a good and sensible idea?<br>

<br></div>
it sounds like a great idea:<br>

I would really appreciate a little discussion with someone about
the best way to do the formatting to make the pdf export as easy
as possible (we want to put it on A4).<br>

what is it you dont like about it? one issue i noticed last week and
I wrote to Douglas about is that if there is no section in the TOC
then the page numbers dont render corrctly...you may wish to put an
intial section at the top...this bug will be fixed shortly I hope<br></div></blockquote><div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#666666"><br>um, let me think...<br><br>i would like the hints/steps to look more like hints/steps, and I would like to have a task image so it is easy to see what tasks you have done - maybe even box that you can tick to say that you have done it. Could do this through css or maybe just add an image at the start of every task.<br>
<br>Would also like to ensure there is space for notes but maybe this is stuff we can do in the text rather than in the css. We'll see once I've got all the exercises in there.<br><br>am wondering if this will look ok when the size is A4.<br>
<br>It looks a bit too stylish - I was hoping for something more bland and institutional ;)<br><br>
