I just looked at the print version of the manual. No, I'm not a glutton for
punishment. I looked at the online version of what would be printed, rather
than actually print it.

I was pleased to see that the changes I had made were reflected in the print
version. However, I did find a problem with order.

I made extensive changes to the section Primitive Solids. In the online
version it is in its rightful place after the Introduction and before
Conditional and Iterator Functions

In the print version it is instead later between String Functions and
Transformations. Also, all the section headings are missing.

What did I screw up, so I can fix it, and avoid the problem in the future?

I think the issue is at the Wikibooks side. The print version relies on
duplicated information to produce the collection. I don't think it can
work like that without creating issues.

It's probably better to find a solution that is based on a single source,
currently that might mean the offline download script written by Runsun.

ciao,
Torsten.

Found the order part of the problem. There are 3 independent list for the
order of files which make up the manual.

First is the Overview at the beginning of the manual.

Second is OpenSCAD_User_Manual/The_OpenSCAD_Language which determine the
order for the on line version.

Third is OpenSCAD User Manual/Print version which determines the order for
the print version.

All have a different order. I think they should be the same, but before I
change them, I want to think about what the order should be. I realize the
cheat sheet makes this less important, but not everything can be found this
way.

If you have thoughts about what the order should be, let me know
