Everything up to the beginning of Chapter 16 is pretty much how the Handbook will look when the conversion is finished (I still need to finish off sorting out the whitespace in chapters 16+, and the changes to chapters 1-15 won't (generally) affect the formatting). Things I know are wrong; 1. The entities for authors of sections aren't linked in, which is why most of the e-mail addresses aren't listed. 2. Most of the examples of file contents have an extra line of white space after them (at least when viewed in Netscape). I know to fix this, but I need to finish some other stuff first. 3. The front matter isn't present. Apart from that, this is pretty much what it'll look like. Comments welcome. is the whole Handbook as one large HTML file (~1.1MB in size), and is the RTF version (~1.4MB in size). The formatting of the RTF version is probably a little different to the HTML one, and is almost certainly missing some images. I'd be interested to see what happened if someone took this and used it to make a PDF version. Note that checking out a copy of doc/en/handbook/ from the repository and typing 'make' will not yield you this output. I'm testing an unreleased version of the modular stylesheets, and the version currently in the ports tree won't work (I believe). N -- C.R.F. Consulting -- we're run to make me richer. . .
