Changes more than once a day may be confusing. The book is now identified by a date. If there are different versions with the same date, it could cause a new user a problem. Developers, on the other hand, build in their own sandbox and don't need the site to do it. I'd recommend leaving things as they are and render once or at most twice a day. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
