Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Custom Pages overwriting text

I was trying to place the custom pages in the middle of a chapter, which must be the problem. I don’t have any contributions.

I’ll try moving the custom pages to the end of the chapter to see if that fixes the problem… although that’s not where I wanted them :)

Topic: Feature Requests / Line breaks

Hi LIz, page break is useful indeed! What I need is a line break though, or some way to turn off hyphenation in chapter/subchapter titles.

Topic: Feature Requests / Line breaks

I need \linebreak capability badly :)

I have chapter titles that are being hyphenated which is just terrible from a typography point of view. Needless to say, these chapter titles do not look good in the table of contents either. In one case the title extends all the way to the right margin and then the page number is on the left margin of the line below.

I could probably manage to make them look ok with a line break capability in the short term, but IMHO the better long-term solution would be to allow some control over the ‘styles’ of elements within the layout. This would let the ‘layouts’ be more artistic and general in nature.

Ok, for further testing, I added another custom page and then pressed Save.

Same thing as before: the thumbnails shifted down on the add custom page screen, but after pressing Save the new custom page clips the text on the page underneath.

I did ctrl-R to see if a full refresh would fix it and no go. Then I shut down Firefox, restarted, cleared cache, signed back in to memory press, and the text is still clipped. So, it’s not a cache problem.

(I’m on Firefox 2.0.0.6 both Windows and Linux)

After posting that response above I checked my book, and either the problem has been fixed or it was possibly a caching problem. The pages are now fine viewing the book from a different computer at work

I believe I did, but will test it again this evening.

However, if I didn’t, then it shouldn’t have put the custom page into my book right? I was able to drag photo’s on to the page.

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Custom Pages overwriting text

I seem to be having another overwrite/clipping problem, this time with custom pages.

I wanted to insert a custom page between two normal full text pages, so I dragged the custom page over until the black bar appeared between the two pages.

After releasing the mouse button the custom page is inserted, and the thumbnails for the surrounding pages update properly. In other words they shift to the right one page.

But after going back to normal view the custom page is no longer inserted. Instead it is overwriting the text that was on that page.

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Max pages per chapter?

Excellent thanks!

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Max pages per chapter?

I have a chapter with only 5 pages visible. The next chapter starts on the right side page, clipping the last half page of the previous chapter.

When I mouse over that last page the “Click to Edit” box only covers top third of the page, not the entire page as it should.

There’s nothing missing when I edit the chapter.

Is there something I’m doing wrong? Or is 5 pages the max for a chapter? Or is there some way to print a page range to see if it shows up in print?

Topic: Miscellaneous / Questions about features?

Is there a “best place” to ask about features?

For example, I would like to have some color pages for pictures, but most of the book would be black&white pages.

Another example, I already have TEX source files and would like to import them.

Where can I ask questions like these?
