      some book questions

      I am finally at the point of starting with books for wikipage indexes/collections.
      but i am having some difficulties doing this the way i want/suspected it to be.

      - Is the only way of adding a subchapter (i.e. 1.2) by creating a chapter 1 book first?
      I kind of want my book forum to be clean and organised, not having "loose" chapters all over the place

      - some of the intended book indexes will have a link to an anchor point on a page (in out opinion too small areas for creating a new page for itself but still are sub-chapters. for example: BRCS:Chapter_one_Character#Ability_scores )
      but when entering the link with the anchor point it gives an error with a blank reason

      - 1 must be created before 1.2. You can't parent a chapter to something that doesn't exist.
      - Chapter headlines can't be linked in the main book TOC, but they will still be shown in the TOC once you get to that chapter.

      ok i think i dont quite get it
      link to my test book is http://www.birthright.net/forums/sho...gn_Setting_3_5

      i can add chapters to the book.. but no drop down or something like that to parent it to a chapter..

      if i look on the book examples in the demo they create a BOOK for every chapter, and link the chapter books in the Main book.. is this the way its supposed to be?
      so for a book with 9 chapters you will have 10 BOOK pages? (instead of just 1 linking to the wikipages)

      Yes, if you want a multi-level book, the chapters need to be books too (so for 9 chapters, there would be 10 books).

      This is not going to change. Pages don't inherit properties from their parents. That said, it will be more straightforward to add a book to a book since the Create New menu lists: Page, Book, Attachment, etc.
