When new features are added to the book they should carry a note of the minimum web2py version that supports them, e.g. Field.Method (since 2.3.1 or 2.3.1+).

Many times as I am searching for a specific sub-header in the printed book, I miss to locate its place quickly. The printed sub-headers try to denote their presence by the use of *italics*, which usually are meant to distinct special words. In the online version, subheaders are much more distinguishable, through much *larger font**, and the use of bold*. - The font used on the online version is much more 'friendly', and computer oriented.

Note also that the code has more space horizontally (among the letters), which resembles more the real console input view.
