 <code>====== Title ======</code> <code>====== Title ======</code>
-Note the first chapter level on the page should correspond with the ToC indentation if the Dokuwiki page is part of the book. +Each page should start from the highest chapter level. The PDF book generator will automatically shift it down by the starting position, e.g.:
- +
  
-==== Subchapter ====+1. Introduction (page1) 
 +1.1 Definition of the problem (page2)
  
-Subchapters of the first level (header level 2) need four equation marks, second level (header level 3) – three and so on:+page1 starts with:\\ 
 +<code>======Introduction======</code>
  
-<code>===== Subchapter =====</code>+page2 starts with:\\ 
 +<code>======Definition of the problem======</code>
  
-Do not use any font modifiers to the title. We assume that three levels of subchapters should be enough (four total, including top-level chapters).+<note warning>Note, in the final document, page1's header will be rendered as HTML's H1, while page2's header will be rendered as H2, thus it is automatically converted from 6x= to 5x=.\\ 
 +This is particularly important when using <code>===</code> headers because depending on the chapter nesting, they can be decreased down to either <code>==</code> or even <code>=</code> that does not represent legit header!</note> 
 +==== Subchapter ====
  
-<note important> The Level of the first chapter is determined by the ToC level if the page is supposed to be a part of the book in the feature, i.e. 
-<code>

-====== Header level 1 (1.) ======+References should appear in the text as pointers e.g. <code>[(AuthorsYear)]</code> The full record of this reference must be in the separate References page, e.g. [[en:safeav:references|]]. Make sure that all pointers are correctly listed in the Reference page.

-Page 4: +If using the **RefNotes plugin** for structured or bibliographical references (e.g., Harvard or IEEE-style), make sure to disable the automatic backlink numbers that appear in the reference list.   
-===== Header level 2 (2.2.) =====+Otherwise, the same citation may appear with duplicated numbers such as `[2], [2]`.
  
-Page 5: +To make each reference appear only once in the footer (as in proper academic formatting), add the following to the **end of your page**:

 +
 +===== Parts to exclude from the PDF generator =====
 +To exclude part of the content (i.e. link lists by the end of the chapter)
 +wrap a source code using the WRAP tags:
 +<code>
 +<WRAP excludefrompdf>
 +
 +Some content is to be present in the Dokuwiki but not to be printed in PDF.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +</code>
 +
 +<note important>You must explicitly use the name **excludefrompdf** identifier, otherwise it won't work.</note>
 +
 +===== Common language settings ======
 +Please use UK English, not US English; thus, e.g. use UK's "license", not US's "licence", etc.
 +
 +Use depersonated form, e.g. "in this chapter, details of drone security systems are presented" rather than "in this chapter, you can read about drone security".
 +
 +===== Book printing to PDF remarks =====
 +On top of the ToC, there is a link for the PDF version of the contents and another to generate a new one. The book is not generated automatically, so if you change anything and then wish to see the PDF version, click the ''Generate new PDF book!'' link and wait till it is finished.
 +
 +<note tip>Dokuwiki server struggles with a caching issue: if you generate PDFs in a row, when downloading the PDF book, you may get an older copy instead of the recently generated one. Open the PDF book in the private tab of your browser (it does not use session cache, thus always downloads full content from the Dokuwiki server). Simply right-click the **Current version of PDF Book** and select **Open in new private tab** (or similar, browser dependent).</note>
 +===== Useful tools =====
 +
 +If you want to print just one page as proper PDF, you can use a DW2PDF plugin. Just add in the end of page URL a command:
 +<code>?do=export_pdf</code>
