Writer Guide 7.3 published

I have published the Writer Guide 7.3. All files (.odm, .odt, .pdf)
for chapters and full book are in the Published folder. The status
spreadsheet has been updated. I will soon add the files to the wiki
page.

Hello Jean

Thanks for the heads up. I'll add to the download pages.

Kind regards
Olivier

Hi Jean

I notice a slight change in the fonts used in the cover and back cover of WG73.

Is this intended? If not, I have rebuild the covers in PNG high definition (300dpi) with the Trueno fonts. This font is avaliable in the Contributor resources folder.

Let me know if I have to update the covers of WG73.

Regards
Olivier

Olivier, thank you. Please do fix the covers. I had installed and used the
Trueno fonts but they did not work correctly for me on my Mac.

The chapter and book files also need to be “cleaned” using that Python
script.

Hello,

The same goes for the GS 7.3 guide and its chapters, otherwise localization
cannot start.

HI Jean, all

I have replaced the files in the Published folder with ones I had to tweak a bit (in any case, I have the backup). Covers are fixed with a page style for front and back covers, holding the hi-res png in page background. I also added a book front matter page.

Nothing in the contents except some under-the-hood changes (anchors, non-listed styles, ...) to better fit the master document and to help me later to export to HTML.

I have a question on printing a book like that. Usually the chapters should start in odd-numbered pages (I think) but I'm not sure how you control that when using page mirroring. I suspect some chapters starts on even pages. In the past I used R-page L-page chain to handle correct page to start (at the expense of some blank pages inserted), but with mirroring, that is obscure to me.

What is your take?

Kind regards
Olivier

Olivier,

In the printed books I have not followed the convention that chapters
should start on odd-numbered page, because I did not want to have blank
pages. But If I want to do it, here is the method I use: I make the First
Page style right-page only. Then when exporting to PDF, check the box for
including automatic blank pages. Default Page Style stays mirrored.
