How do I send you a Book for the Libbrary section?
The book will be uploaded to our book section like this:
http://www.ismaili.net/heritage/node/19741
To make it in this format, we need to add each chapter as a plain html page that uses only the following html codes:
<a> <em> <strong> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <b> <i> <pre> <hr> <p>
We can separately attach the pdf to each chapter's title page too.

Audio Button: Where is it?
Many users could not get the audio to play completely using the play buttons. Audio would cut-off.
The audio play buttons that were usually in the right-hand-side margin of texts such as ginans, geets, news events, Persons, etc.. Have been moved to below the main text of those pages, and replaced by an Audio play bar which takes more space, but is more reliable.
