 There are still major challenges:
-. '''Names of chapters'''. For some chapters, there is a short title (in the TOC that you can see on the right) and a longer title when you arrive at the destination. This creates uncertainty when you link internally (am I in the right place?) Both for online and print, the name of the chapter should be '''exactly''' as it appears in the direction to it. Otherwise readers will feeling anxious. If the short title is Children, then Children it is.

This creates uncertainty when you link internally (am I in the right place?) Both for online and print, the name of the chapter should be '''exactly''' as it appears in the direction to it. Otherwise readers will feeling anxious. Right now the readers are looking at the short title in the TOC on the right, but being '''linked''' in the text to the long title. I'm thinking maybe we should revise the "short title" approach as the "long title" approach appears to be the one that embeded.
 The poses challenges, such as The Legal System is really about family law in particular, not the legal system as a whole. I don't think we can get round it by having short/long titles. We can put something up front saying in the first sentence, "This chapter talks about the legal system in family law matters" . . . or some such.
