Well actually, nevermind. It looks like someone else has moved all the image
from the bottom of the pages up into the text. So that problem is solved.

Thanks for your comments Reidar Vik and Jp Otto!
I'll make up an example of the problem I'm running into. Maybe easier to
understand a concrete example.
I'll post it in the gitlab account though.

Hi.
I agree. There should be a final proof read that will include everything and
should make it easy for a beginner to follow but there are some text and grammar
issues that needs to be sorted before then.
Thank you.

Maybe a good idea, but it can be wise to look briefely trough the text at this
stage to fix some text issues. Hopefully the one who makes the illustrations
don't have to do things twice.

Hi Friends,
I had initially started with proofreading for the new beginners guide,
but quickly found it was very difficult to do, without taking the graphics into
account. Without knowing where the images are going to be placed and whether
they might have captions or not, it's hard to make the text fit well.
Especially when the goal is to be brief and clear with the text, and not
load it with a lot of technical details. One way to make it simple, is to use
graphics wisely. But if the graphic for a particular item is far away from the
text on the page, it could backfire, and make it more difficult to understand.
I (or anyone) could proofread the text by itself. But after the layout
and styling teams do their jobs, and place the images on the pages, the text and
graphics may or may not work well together. Unless that's part of the style and
layout teams' jobs? But it seems like that puts a lot of work on their plates?
So I want to propose doing the proofreading as the final step. I'm not
familiar with writing books or manuals. But for general text documents, like
articles or theses, it seems like proofreading is usually the final step. So I
thought it couldn't hurt to make the suggestion.
I wasn't sure whether to make this an Issue in the gitlab. It seems like
not very many of the Docs team or guide-writing team is looking there. So I
wanted to at least start the discussion where the widest number of people can
see it. If a formal Issue is needed, I'll be glad to make one.
Anyway, just a thought.
Thanks for listening,
brynn
