Creating a new book (title "Test", no chapters) with a particular article (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_Damiaan) fails with a traceback

...

File "/home/mwlib/py25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mwlib-0.12.8-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/mwlib/odfwriter.py", line 85, in addElement log("ParagraphProxy:addElement() ", e.type, "not allowed in any parents, failed, should have been added to", self.type)

AttributeError: Element instance has no attribute 'type' ...

Steps to reproduce:

- go to the article

- start the book creator in the left menu (afdrukken/exporteren - boek maken)

- add the article http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_Damiaan

- click on the "boek weergeven" link in the book creator bar on top of the page

- add a title "test"

- choose format OpenDocument Text

- export

Exporting to PDF works just fine, and creating a new book with other articles (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobelprijs_voor_de_Vrede) also works.

Is this possible? I.e. can I open the tool then load a book directly from there, rather than open the book and load it into the tool using the load button? --Jubilee♫clipman 01:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

:You need to click the load button regardless of whether the book tool is open or not. The result is the same either way. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 05:21, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

::To clarify: there is no load book button in the tool which opens a browser window, therefore load book in the banner on the the book's WP article page is the only way to open the book for editing? Example: I can open WMP and use the dialogue to browse to a video or I can simply double click the video's icon – assuming it's associated with WMP. We only have the equivalent of the latter option for books? Actually, that makes sense given that eventually there will be millions of books... --Jubilee♫clipman 17:18, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Is there any way to create sections (called chapters here) and then subsections?

I have edited directly from the book page and added several semicolons to each section to distribute it as I wanted. This was OK when I saw it on the book page, but not when I rendered it on PDF.

Any help? Thanks a lot! Stunt21 (talk) 23:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

:This is not supported for now, but the request has been made. See the link in the redbox. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 04:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

::Thank you very much, Headbomb, another thing I learn ;) Stunt21 (talk) 00:00, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
