It is + <em>not</em> intended as a substitute for full documentation.</p> + </blockquote> + <h2>Production notes</h2> + <p>An earlier (Jan 2008) version was typeset on two A4 landscape + pages ready to print, but this restricted the ways people wanted + to print it, so this version is set as four normal A5 pages, + leaving the imposition up to your printer driver.</p> + <p>Adobe Acrobat 9, for example, can print the PDF two-sided, + two-up, landscape on A4 using the <q>Booklet Printing</q> option, + and a ready-imposed PDF generated this way is included below.
