Hi Rui,

This looks very useful - thanks. If you're happy to include it in the main project that's great.

I haven't used e-books up to now due to tracking/DRM concerns, so can't comment on how this compares to others, but I had a look at it (using calibre) and the html version and saw a couple of things:

E-BOOK
- "Manual - Table of Contents" chapter is on p147, but should be at the start (or may not be needed at all with an e-book, as the reader takes care of it - I'm not sure what the general practice is)

- I don't suppose we need the "Manual Draft" section, as the only thing in there was added to the wiki a long time ago, but it could be an appendix if you particularly want to keep it (e.g. as a catch-all in case anyone adds to this section on the wiki). *It's also in the html version (along with the old manuals, which aren't in the e-book), but I think it's fine there as it's in the browser like the wiki is anyway

- Links don't seem to work properly. Seems to be a far-reaching problem, but to give two examples:

3.6 Next Steps
Specifically, see [here] for more information on working with MIDI and [here] for audio.

Both these links work correctly in the wiki (and have done since before 2017-02-20 as far as I know) but in the e-book they both go to the start of Chapter 4.

4.8.2. Connections
a task which is achieved via the [Connections window].

Link doesn't work at all (like many others). In the wiki, it goes to the start of "4.8.2. Connections".

HTML
- "Yassin Philip" link at the start is broken. It goes to your rncbc site, while the wiki one goes to sourceforge. "junkyardsparkle" next to it is fine. It's on this page:
http://www.rncbc.org/datahub/qtractor-doc/Home.html

- The sub-chapters (2.3.1, 2.3.2 etc.) in the Table of Contents are a bit hard to read, as they're all on one horizontal line. The original wiki puts them on separate lines, indented. This is the page:
http://www.rncbc.org/datahub/qtractor-doc/Manual%20-%20Table%20of%20Cont...

- Same links issue as e-book (though "4.8.2. Connections" goes back to the start of the chapter)

That's what I've seen so far. Will be happy to test again once any amends are made.
