Hi, Jambunathan,
This is great. I'd be happy to proofread. What's the best way to
return the proofs to you? A diff of the .texi?
A couple of questions and suggestions. First, about the syntax rather
than about the manual:
- Image attributes: Are the parentheses needed in the ATTR_ODT line?
(This is not about the manual, but about the syntax.) It would be
simpler and generally more consistent with user expectations from
other ATTR lines, I think, if it worked like this:
#+ATTR_ODT: :width 10 :height 10
About the manual:
- Literal examples:
- Add a hint, where does one get an enhanced htmlfontify.el?
- References and captions (not covered): It would be worth mentioning
in the Tables and Images sections that these will work, but that you
may need to use Tools>Update>Fields in LibreOffice to get them
displayed right.
- There are some long technical sections that are great if you want to
get under the hood, but may be a bit intimidating, and that come
before the short first-aid stuff. You might want to consider:
- Starting "Applying Custom Styles" with a simple howto setting out
the user-friendly steps: export an ODT (with num:t and any other
settings needed to get all the styles), tweak its looks in LibreOffice
(preserving heading numbering as an option), save the result and point
to it with ODT_STYLES_FILE.
(As it is, the manual gives a strong impression that the user will
have to mess with XML files to get custom styles.)
- Possibly moving "Exporting and Converting to Other Formats" to the
end of the manual.
- Possibly separating out the explanation of custom table styles as a
separate section and moving it to the end of the manual. (BTW, custom
table styles sounds great, I'm looking forward to trying this out.)
Yours,
Christian
