since jim is unwilling to give up his disingenuous pose, let me spell things out for you, so everyone understands. jim has looked at my pdf's, and what he found there was plain old unstyled text. now, since this particular book consists of very little styling to begin with -- it's almost totally and completely plain-old-paragraphs, with just the chapter-headers and front-matter and two cases of blockquotes -- that's not much of a "flaw", but if you're jim, you're willing to grasp at any possible straw you can. so let me be clear: the chapter-headers are unstyled, as is the front-matter, and those blockquotes, and the occasional cases of italics. so, for instance, the headers are _not_ big, bold, and centered, as in a final product. italics are indicated only by _surrounding_ _underlines._ blockquotes have the ">" at the beginning of each line... the front-matter isn't centered, like it was in the p-book, or bold, like a title-page should be. so... get the picture? now, could i have done all that styling and formatting? well, yes, obviously, i could have... i've done it before. and, if you care to notice, i put the chapter-headers in the .pdf table-of-contents sidebar, so i recognized 'em. (and because the sidebar is a useful capability, i did it.) but any styling and formatting was _beside_the_point_ i was making with the current demos, so i didn't do it... my point was that you can chop the output many ways, including by page, paragraph, chapter, or _not_at_all_. you can put formatting in, or leave it out, _your_option_. because sometimes ya don't need formatting in the way. most especially when -- as was one of the use-cases -- you have an editor go over every paragraph in the book. my workflow is broad enough to embrace the author who might be _in_the_process_ of actually _writing_ their book. maybe jim doesn't care about that; fine, he doesn't have to. but there's no reason to let his blinders cut off your vision... -bowerbird
