[libreoffice-documentation] Weird stuff department: Why everything needs last-minute checking

[Jean Weber <jeanweber@gmail.com>]

The ToC in the Draw 3.4 Guide is missing the Preface and hence has
wrong page numbers for the rest of the book, but the really weird bit
is that the page numbering restarts in Chapter 3. The actual page
numbers in the document are correct. I'm not sure what caused that
weirdness (other than the ToC not being updated before the PDF was
created), but I certainly should have noticed it. And I probably
should have put the "release candidate" out for others to check, but I
didn't...

This is not a big deal, but it does point out the need for us to have
more quality assurance on our books... but that QA needs to be on a
fast turnaround as well as thorough. I wonder who might have noticed
the ToC was wrong? (Hazel, probably.) Does anyone else actually look
through a ToC when final-proofing a book? I usually do, when it's
someone else's book; but when it's a book I've done, I just don't
notice things.

When I get a chance, I'll regenerate the ToC and the PDF and hope
nothing else goes weird. ;-)
