Publish PDF 2.2.16 and Wikibook Server 1.0.16 released
This is a minor release which brings the numbering back into alignment, while adding some useful new features and fixes:
- support for automatically numbering paragraphs in articles (i.e. legal-style) using the parasep=number option—it’s surprisingly hard to do this in LATEX
- add new book chapter styles, including a “word processor” style where the chapter number and name are on the same line (thanks to Vito for suggesting this)
- improve handling of non-floating advanced tables to reduce the incidence of “orphan” table rows (thanks again to Vito)
- fix a pathological case of smart quotes—“this now works” (opening quote after an em dash — thanks to Brenda)
- fix bug in abbreviations markup so MP3 now works (abbreviation contains a number — thanks again to Brenda)
- fix PDF bookmarks and table of contents links to unnumbered book chapters (required a phantomsection LATEX command — nice catch, Brenda)
- add new PDF options to the relevant Site template pages
The new book part and chapter markup has also been much more fully tested and seems to work well.
