Calc Guide 6.2 - Reworked

Hi All, Hi Jean

I saved the Published/ contents in Archives/Published/ and replaced with
the contents of the reworked mater document and chapters, to compile the
book with a master document.

To correctly handle the master document I had to spend some time...
- Rework the master document initial contents to hold the cover, the
Copyright front matter and global table of contents.

- Convert images anchored as character into anchored in paragraph in all
chapters and only when they were in a frame containing a caption (*).

- Added a section to wrap the Copyright and Contents of each chapter and
define a hide condition "book eq 1" ("book" is a field of category
variable). When book=1 in the master document, the copyright and
contents of the chapter are hidden, otherwise each chapter display the
Copyright and Contents when opened individually.

I'll appreciate a review of the PDF generated with this procedure, and
I'll be glad to fix any issue that is reported. I am not a publisher
specialist and the master document procedure may have left some glitches.

The folder Published/ has been made public (Read only) so everything is
downloadable

(*) Bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86322
prevent images with character anchors to display in Master Document. As
results, the frame with caption only displays the caption with no image.
Nevertheless the frame keeps the size of the original image, even if
invisible.
To circumvent: For each image inside the chapter, anchor the image to
PARAGRAPH inside the frame.
Select the image in the frame, click mouse button 2, select Anchor,
choose To Paragraph.
An extra paragraph may (or not) pop at the top of the caption inside the
frame. Just delete it.

I’ll check the PDF. Sorry about not fixing the anchors on figures and doing
other master doc things. Will do better on GS6.4.

The print version should be okay as it is, for linking from the docs page
on the website.

Hello all.

I have been new to the team as I do this on the side in addition to my many
other hats. I wanted to first be positive and say I think the* 6.2
Published Calc Guide* looks pretty good, especially for volunteer effort!

However, it seems that the old bug as listed in Olivier's note *86322* and
confirmed across the team in consensus it is still is there. From my
programming in C++ with Word, I think I understand what is going on with
the images, so if someone has a personal connection with the OL team
programmers, then we might let them know this one. What happens is the
Captioning measurement creates a text box frame around the entire image and
I think it might want to measure only the exact two lines below the image
to provide a box or rectangle beneath the image. That is one part of the
disappearing act that is happening. The other part is the vanishing and it
might be correlated to the same thing. The programming gets confused as
which frame or box to read first and it tries to do it all at once. This
happens in Word occasionally too and also creates a weight issue with
Headers and Footers sometimes. The programming bascially gets to fat for
the box and when it weighs too much it falls off the page. When you insert
the image or text box, it should only read the exact line number of the
click from the mouse.

I am hoping this *86322* will be functional with the next publish. It about
drove me crazy this last review.

Caroline

Hello Caroline, All !

I am chasing more bugs in the book assembly with master document,
especially with the PDF bookmarks that should work like a PDF TOC. Some
entries, not all, are wrong.

Olivier
PS. Other issues were track records not disabled for final publishing
and master document TOC must be based on alternate styles (more on that
later)

HI Team

I am chasing more bugs in the book assembly with master document,

entries, not all, are wrong.

Sadly, I hit bug#84913 still untouched.
