|
|
|
|
They do look neat, but there are some glitches:
|
|
|
|
- The gzipped pdf files return as type application/x-gzip or
|
|
something, so they don't just pop up in a pdf viewer. I was under
|
|
the impression that PDFs were already compressed; why gzip them?
|
|
|
|
- My HOWTO has part of Section 1/Introduction on page 4, and then
|
|
zaps to Section 10/Network on page 5. Everything in between (which
|
|
ought to be tens of pages) is apparently missing.
|
|
|
|
- Nested description lists are horribly broken. They work everywhere
|
|
else! Pages 29-38 of my doc are one big nested list, which should
|
|
look like this:
|
|
|
|
Manufacturer1
|
|
Perfectly
|
|
Printer1, Printer2, Printer3...
|
|
Partially
|
|
...
|
|
Manufacturer2
|
|
Perfectly
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
- The right margin is ragged and seems too narrow on some pages. The
|
|
text also looks a bit off-center. Maybe it's A4 formatting on
|
|
Letter paper?
|
|
|
|
- Section title 10.6 includes one italicized word ("if"). After it
|
|
there is not a italic-correction space, so the if is too close to
|
|
the next word. This is not true of normal TeX output; what
|
|
happened?
|
|
|
|
- The navigation bars (\hline next prev contents...\hline) seem ugly
|
|
and completely redundant, since the PDF file is fully structured,
|
|
with the TOC tree visible in the acrobat navigation pane. The
|
|
navbars also tend to get broken across pages in funny ways. I
|
|
think you should just remove them.
|
|
|
|
- Some of the intra-document links are broken. In the short TOC, for
|
|
example, the main section titles are links to things like
|
|
Printing-HOWTO-11.html, which won't work.
|
|
|
|
Oh, wait, I've got it: sections 2-9 aren't missing, the document is
|
|
just sorted alphabetically instead of numerically! It's:
|
|
|
|
1
|
|
