The handbook has random errors in chapter listing (numbering). "random" because at times the listings are OK but many times they're not. For example: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1 shows: " 7. Configuring the Kernel 2.a. Timezone [...] 7.b. Installing the Sources " Expecting: "7.a. Timezone" There are more such listing errors in the document.
this displays correctly in the regular version: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7 ...so something about the printable version is messing up the numbering.
Correct but not all printable versions display the "error". http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7&style=printable displays fine. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1 doesn't. Curiously though the following hand-crafted nonsense URL has the correct listing even though styling seems to be different: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7&style=printable&full=1 (the full document is correctly listed with style=printable)
I'm not seeing this behavior anymore, even though the handbook.xsl stylesheet hasn't been touched since 2009-07-12. I'll mark this as WORKSFORME. Reopen while yelling that I'm blind and pointing me to the URL (I tried http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1 and nada) is acceptable ;-)
