== Question: Differences between printed books and downloadable PDFs == |

I created a book and downloaded the PDF. When I wanted to order a printed book with pediapress and looked at the preview I noticed various differences!? |

:The layout of printed books differs, as a technology more suitable for printed books is used to generate the PDFs. Printed books feature a Table of Contents, an Index, have a different size (A5 or 8.5×5.5in) and images and tables are layouted differently. The downloadable PDF looks ok when printed (A4) at home and can be generated within a reasonable amount of time. The PDF of printed books is optimized for print and its generation takes way to long to be viable alternative for Wikipedia. --[[User:He!ko|he!ko]] 19:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC) |

Question: Principal Authors
How is the list of principal authors computed? It looks as if any contributor is listed. He!ko 16:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Currently there is no consensus on "who are the principal authors" in the community. Therefore all contributors are mentioned. --he!ko 19:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Proposal: Add a table of contents
There is a ticket for this issue.
Did you consider to add a table of contents at the first page of the PDF? I think this might improve usability of larger PDFs. --he!ko 15:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: <poem/>-tag not supported
This issue should be resolved after the next software update.
It looks like the <poem/>-tag is not supported (example). He!ko 16:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
