Hello,
|
|
|
|
I just printed out a few of the latest HOWTOs using the provided Postscript
|
|
files. I have the following comments:
|
|
|
|
1) 4 out of the 6 files i.e. teTeX, Advanced Bash-Scripting, CD-Writing,
|
|
Text-Terminal print with even numbered pages as the facing (odd pages). If
|
|
one prints these on a double sided printer the result is miserable. You need
|
|
to insert a blank page after the table of contents.
|
|
|
|
2) The cover pages are unattractive and unhelpful. Traditional documents
|
|
have the title in the top third of the cover page, not in the middle. And
|
|
not having a version or date on the cover is madness.
|
|
|
|
3) The PPP HOWTO has a doubled spaced bold table of contents that again is
|
|
unatractive and difficult to read. The table of contents is then duplicated
|
|
in the main document. Although facing pages are odd-numbered the formatting
|
|
is broken. For example the heading "Chapter 4. Aims of this Document" is on
|
|
a page on its own.
|
|
|
|
You should look at the results of the FSF Texinfo system and take some
|
|
layout ideas from that.
|
|
|
|
Regards,
|
|
Neil Faulks
