2. '''Chapters headings doubling as section headings'''. At the moment the chapter heading is also de facto the heading of the overview section. This is followed by "more detailed" sections. Logically this bothers me. It should be (a) heading; (b) section/section/section. And in the in-print TOC it will need to look like this. | 2. '''Chapters headings doubling as section headings'''.

The problem then becomes a style sheet one, where each section (aka page) starts with an (a) heading, even though subsequent sections are actually (b) section headings. In an online non-book format, I'd take a heading page, put in the intro, then line up the sections for folks to link to: overview section/more detailed section/more detailed section.

3. '''In-print use of the TOC'''. The chapters are not alphabetical. They don't right now have numbers (or not that I can see). Readers cannot be expected to form a map of the TOC in their heads. Online they can go over and check where to go, because all that is showing are the short titles (for now!) and it's visually manageable. A print TOC would need to include sections as well and will be quite long, I suspect. | 3. '''In-print use of the TOC'''. The chapters are not alphabetical.

4. The links to sections are usually made to the long title, not the title you can see online on the right. This is ok-ish online but in print you'll have to use the long title of the section in the TOC . . . (same as for links to chapters). | 4.

5. Links to the forms have one name in the document and another in the TOC. (Same issue here as well.) The link is consistent when you get there, but when you're linking at the short TOC for the chapters (right-hand side) it's a bit different. | 5.
