Hi Team

Seasons Greetings!

Since the fix on master documents by Michel Stahl from Allotropia [1], I managed to create a master document for the latest Base Guide, as an exercise, for my own.

The set of chapters are in the cloud at
/LibreOffice Documentation/English/Base Guide/7.2/Archived/BG72_Master_Doc.zip

I had to tweak a bit some missing parts from the original template for a master document. Actually a few.

- Cover and Back cover are new page styles with the covers as background PNG, respectively;

- Copyright and chapters TOC were wrapped in a section with hidden control activated by the master variable 'book eq 1'. Chapters don't have this variable, so Copyright and chapter TOC are visible, but hidden in Master document. Trick: you cannot wrap an existing TOC in a outer section. You need to remove it, create the section and then add the TOC inside the section.

- Left some comments for next release, just remove them to get the full book as a PDF export directly from the MD.

I think that assembling a Guide with a master document is now a piece of cake.

Kind regards
