Followed your guidelines on the table of contents with Calibre and it works like a champ! Just what I was looking for.

I've since discovered that this process loses a lot of formatting alone the way. Calibre uses regular expressions to match content and formating, so if you view the source of the HTML that is output and find what tag is used for indenting you may be able to get it to look right. Personally, I have yet to get a technical manual to export with propped formatting (mainly php and asterisk manuals, where formatting is key as well). :( It really depends on the source.

]]> Comment on Wake up and smell the USDA & FDA approved coffee… by joe f. http://www.thatjoshguy.com/archives/146/comment-page-1#comment-99 joe f. Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:37:33 +0000 http://www.thatjoshguy.com/?p=146#comment-99 I've been using a similar (though less coherent) argument with friends for a while now, and I think the problem is just ignorance. Not only do people not know what their government does for them, they don't have any idea what other governments do or don't do. I was in the Army for more than 25 years and have been to quite a few countries. Now I work at a government R&D organization and see a tiny fraction of the technology transfer that goes on between the government and industry. It's pretty amazing, really. So much gets developed and/or paid for by the government, then turned over to industry to mass produce and sell back to the government. Then it gets used for other things. You do need to add one thing, however: and the whole time you're defended by the best military to ever walk, fly and sail the earth. That might not be as pleasant as your coffee, but it's no mean feat, believe me. But William Shreve, there are two points that explain that. A, you don't have to drive, and you don't have to have insurance (normally you can post a bond -- a big bond -- and not have insurance). Driving and owning a car and insurance is not a condition of being a citizen of your state in good standing. The health care bill forces you to buy a commercial product to be a citizen in good standing. I think it will be struck down. All the better for getting a straight-up public option or single-payer. B, the constitution gives the states and the federal government different powers. Actually, the states/the people granted certain powers to the federal government, and they're to be limited. That said, I also agree that it no longer reflects the reality of our day-to-day lives.

In the process of exporting out to html leading tabs/spaces seem to be nuked. I mainly read books on Python, where indentation is of the essence. Would you know how to keep these?

I personally think we, as a nation, need to update the constitution. Our nation no longer even resembles the country of 1789. Technology and society have changed drastically. I support the 2nd Amendment fully, but I believe it was designed to be the ultimate check against the power of the government. But at the time there was no practical difference between military weapons and civilian weapons. That no longer is the case and even I don't think just anyone should be able to buy a tank.
