SQI Commitment to Instant Publishing. This book is an statement, and a working example, of the SQI philosophy of instant publishing. This book is a work-in-progress. All of the material is in draft form (some in rough draft form). Some of the How-To sections have example code with little of the description provided. But all of the material fulfills the SQI concept that any insight or new knowledge has value and needs to be quickly shared

Temporary Authoring Matters

Customization ToDo The role attribute in the <inlinemediaobject> is not working - see the markup inside the para tag below. Both the html and fo use the first <imageobject>. This para should have an inline Google logo in HTML and an inline Lexus logo in PDF. However we are getting the Google logo in both HTML and PDF.

Customization ToDo The font size for <code> - an inline tag - is now to small. I think it is picking up the changes in font size made to <programlisting>. The <code> font should be the same size as the default text. Also, in the HTML this is not getting an inline layout (looks like a block treatment). The layout is fine in PDF

Customization ToDo The subsections in the Preface, even in the techbook document style, should not be numbered.

Customization ToDo The admonitions - <note>, <important>, and <warning> - need to have teh same layout and graphic in both the HTML and PDF views.
