I have created now a pdf of a more normal book (a pdf of the main page
is a nightmare btw, a really good test for complicated templates), and
it mainly prefers simple and easy text.

As I see, it might have some problems with transparent images, they
seem to get a black background. I really like the general content
pages, but maybe it is good to skip all the ToC's of the seperate
pages?

A great way of resolving this is giving the output in an editable
format, so that people can easily remove that kind of things, and
adapt as they like it.

An option you might want to add: o Compile a list of all authors and
add that to the end, together with the license text (in case of
wikipedia: GFDL, in case of nlwikibooks: GFDL & CC-BY-SA)

Maybe this makes things more complicated, but making it editable (odf)
would do much good!

BR, lodewijk
