Trying to build from latex source, on windows, using miktex-portable-2.9.6753 (selfcontained supposedly).
First I was getting errors about hevea.sty being missing, so I downloaded it from http://hevea.inria.fr/ into the book's top level folder (er, plus a few copies in the miktex tree, shotgun approach, having forgotten most of what I ever knew about LaTeX). That seems to have fixed the hevea issue.

Now I'm seeing this:

! LaTeX Error: File `latexonly.tex' not found.

I'm guessing you need to commit/push this and possibly other supporting files from your own local build tree ?

Or, if there is an obvious mistake I'm making, I'd appreciate anyone pointing that out. A cursory search in the web didn't help.

TIA, Fazl

Currently we have to scale the figures by hand in production. It would be nice if Atlas would accept size information.

There is a section in the preface about how to work with the code. We want to refer to it in the exercise section at the end of the book. The current reference is not working, but we don't know why.

[email protected] gets hyphenated. Can we avoid that?

What DocBook should we generate for inline code?

On page xvi, can we make a version of this with a lighter background color?

In general, we need to check what the images look like in grayscale.

They are currently chapters 15-17. If there is something I can do in the DocBook to make this happen, let me know.

We need lines between cells on all tables, especially the one that's a blank table for the reader to fill in (Exercise 9.1). If there's a way to do this in DocBook, please let me know.

Most of the figures were done in xfig; a few were done in dia. We are waiting for guidance about whether they will be redone in production, or whether we should make them consistent.

We are working on updating our DocBook translator to generate

We don't know why. This has been an intermittent issue for a while: it was broken, then it worked for a while, now it is broken again.

This is a recurring issue. It would be nice if we could add this feature to Atlas rather than fixing it by hand in all of my books.
