Either way, get well soon Russell.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Russell,  congratulations.  You have done an amazing job and I now know what you intended.  I take back the doubts that I had that you would wreck the Forum.

OK my bad, I figured it out. I had spaces in my file name, which web sites don't like. It worked for me because I looked for I'd saved the final page. That'll teach me not to double check.

A corrected version is now available *fingers crossed*

Russell.

Oh - It is wonderful!! Thanks heaps! How did you work all that extra info out?? So much better than my recipe cards I was about to start printing of - (my idea was something like the recipes we take on demo's - all on a keyring) Most of my faves are on but here are a couple more that I use all the time.

Living Cookbook will export in several layout as well - duplexing, index card, perfect bound etc, although I haven't played with those formats yet.

I'll copy your favourites and chookies over to the favourites thread.

I am sure you may already know,there is software called Recipefox, that I think is part of Firefox Browzer, that will import recipes from web pages etc, ( I don't use it as I use Mastercook software that has a simular feature ) but I have seen it talked about

No I wasn't aware of that one, thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

Well I just uploaded a new version of the sample cookbook, supposedly with the tips formatted better. What I ended up realising is, Living Cookbook is stripping out all the formatting in the tips sections and just mashing it all together in one big paragraph. I guess it is designed for one liners. I'll look into a bit more, but that could be a showstopper for doing it that way :(

russell, its looking good so far.  how are the nutritional facts compiled? Just looking on the sweetcorn soup and % look really high (or should we just ignore this info?)  :)

Not sure, I'll look into it when I have a bit more time. Did I mention previously that one of the yields came out at 73Kg!! I sent a bug report to the developers, but have had no reply. I suggest best to ignore it for now.
