Dear Hitch,

<p>

I hope these examples are enough to show the structure of Rob's book
and how that structure appears in the editing.

<h2> Structure of the NM section</h2>

The first two pages of Section NM, with every block and component  
outlined.  <a href="block_structure2a.pdf">scanned PDF</a>.

<p>

I am artistically challenged, so I hope my drawing is adequate.

<p>

Some things to note:

<p>

Definitions, theorems, examples, and paragraphs are blocks that can
appear in various places in a subsection.  The outermost  box for those
blocks are shown with a little "tab" in the upper-right corner, indicating
that the whole thing can be moved as a unit.

<p>

Sections and subsections have a title and introductory text.  Those
can't be moved around (not in the current interface anyway), so their
outermost box does not have a tab.

<p>

This example shows all paragraphs as their own block, which can be
moved around independently.  Really there should be a way to group
paragraphs into a "text block" which can be moved as a unit.

<p>

<h2>Adding a block</h2>

This example shows the page immediately after a user adds a "theorem block"
between the paragraphs at the top of page 2.  <a href="theorem_added2.pdf">PDF</a>

<p>

Note that Theorem, Example, and Definition have optional components:
preamble and postscript.  When you add one of those blocks, there is
no empty box for the optional components.  

<p>
An example of a preamble is in the
Definition NM in the first PDF file.
<p>

There needs to be some
way to show that one can add text to those components.  
Maybe a thin line appears when you hover, and clicking on it expands
into a box.

<h2> The full structure</h2>

The full structure of Rob's book is described in <a href="fcla_structure2.pdf">this PDF file</a>.

David
