Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer

Hi,

I know this book:
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/whitepapers/Creating_large_documents_with_OOo.odt
It's an old book, and is writed for OpenOffice, but the most important 
part is the same, and you can reuse in LibreOffice.

I know an another book for you, but it's exists only in Hungarian:
http://numbertext.org/libreoffice/libreoffice.pdf
is a hybrid PDF, the PDF file contains the source of the book in ODT 
format. Probably you don't understand it, but can see come stuff that 
can do with LibreOffice and Graphite technology.
