Great! And good on that volunteer!
Will the new manual have the things people always ask about, like
footnotes, elipses, chapter headings, page numbers, etc?
What I'd really like is to be able to open my manual, do a find on
footnote, for example, and with minimal effort find "best practices" for
what I need.
