So, here is what "before and after" of the user-manual.xml output file looks like. It shows that the standalone document loses its Preface and all the chapters have been renumbered (because what was in the Preface has become the first chapter). To pages like http://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual that take our source material and show them in preformatted, this change will cascade through. Hopefully these places won't be upset for not having the Preface (e.g. this particular site does not even refer to the chapters as "chapter 1", "chapter 2", etc.) but we'd never know until we try and break them ;-) --- user-manual-without-patch.xml +++ user-manual.xml @@ -7,8 +7,8 @@ <bookinfo> <title>Git User Manual</title> </bookinfo> -<preface> -<title></title> +<chapter id="introduction"> +<title>Introduction</title> <simpara>Git is a fast distributed revision control system.</simpara> <simpara>This manual is designed to be readable by someone with basic UNIX command-line skills, but no previous knowledge of Git.</simpara> @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ pages, or <ulink url="git-help.html">git-help(1) without any explanation.</simpara> <simpara>Finally, see <xref linkend="todo"/> for ways that you can help make this manual more complete.</simpara> -</preface> +</chapter> <chapter id="repositories-and-branches"> <title>Repositories and Branches</title> <section id="how-to-get-a-git-repository">
