You're right… The same underlining is used on the Download pages. But HTML for styling is bad. > - There are. There are *a lot* more books.

We could have different books for each language on the page. I don't think a French person will be really interested in books written in English if books in French also exist and are good. We could specify that one should visit the page in another language to get a list of books in that language. > I'd rather like to promote books by people who have a connection to the > Inkscape community, so if you want to ask around on the Inkscape mailing > lists, and gather a few current ones that were written by people who > answer, that would make a nicer list.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm the more appropriate person to ask on mailing lists — I don't feel ease at it. I fear looking demanding with all my remarks: ‘your software is buggy’, ‘your texts are full of mistakes’, ‘your wiki was organized and coded with feet and bottom’, ‘there's that little problem hard to correct but which really annoys me in this or that reference’ — and now ‘hey, I'm new and I wonder why you left your Books page empty like that’, while my work has not been of high value till now, it might be too much.

I already found Packt Publishing in the news several times. If it's the only publisher we talk about on the Books page, it's even worse. > There are a lot of books about Inkscape, but I think the problem is that > if none of us have reviewed, or even seen them, it's hard to justify > promoting them. True. The authors are often not well-known by the community?

Well, if you want the Command Line Ref, type ‘man inkscape’ (Windows 10 will offer you a UNIX shell soon so this should work), and to access the Keyboard Ref, find the menu item in the Inkscape software. The command line ref is a UNIX ‘man(ual) page’, hence it's a bit of a manual. I think it's acceptable like that. > I do think the underlines could be dropped from the 2 Refs.

I removed the <u></u> on the Books page and translations; I'll now deal with the Download page and the Windows subpage. -- Sylvain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
