Greetings!

I am beginning a large writing project, that will most probably take the form of a self published, free ebook. And while I have created very long, complex documents before, I have never formatted them as a book. Having been using word processing software for a living for the last 15 years or so, I thought myself as "power user" enough to take the next step and try to create my document relying on Writer's features and not depending on someone else to typeset the material. However, after reading both the "Getting Started" and the "Writer Guide", I am convinced that it is possible. Heh, the mere existance of those books is proof enough ;-) But I find that there is a gap between the techniques described there for working with templates, styles and master documents... and the actual craft needed to make them work. A quick look to the odt files themselves convinced me of that. So after some googling and a disappointint amazon search on books on this subject, I come here to rely on our collective knowledge, with a question:

Does anyone know about a tutorial, book or website where I can specifically learn about creating a book-lenght document, with chapters (as subdocuments) and a master document, consistent styling, indexing and table of contents with Libreoffice?

Thnk you very much for your time, and best regards,
