These are just silly playing, but I feel they are worth keeping
here for now.

I haven't worked on this much for a while. There is a bit of a major change in what I'm doing here. I decided that I wanted to have more flexibility in my output formats (someone mentioned markdown as a format for print documents using Pandoc), so I have converted the previous version to DocBook, which I'm currently able to create a LaTeX file, which I can create a
PDF from.
</para>
<para>
This is an improvement in many ways, as I hope that will make converting it to something like an epub or html document easier. Though I'm not convinced of that yet.
</para>
<para>
In some ways it is a lot worse though. The PDF currently being produced is much worse. Working in DocBook, is harder than working in LaTeX. A lot of the formatting that was for LaTeX is lost, and may be a huge pain to restore in the end.
</para>
<para>
While some of the formatting I did have was just not working, or not working well. I had something that I could "work with." This so far, is a step backwards, for reasons that don't entirely make sense to me.
</para>
<para>
Well, not entirely make sense to me, as in I don't see that this will end up being a better option in the end.
</para>
<para>
So, I feel what I'm going to probably aim to do, is copy this change here, back to the LaTeX version. If I'm going to do other versions, do the conversion based on that. The current LaTeX version is actually preferable. That is a worthwhile thing to have figured out.

Also, I think having a working workflow to the point I currently have it, is also worthwhile, as it is certainly going to make things easier to handle when (and if), I decided to produce a different format than the LaTeX PDF/Print version.
