I'm finally getting started on a MODx Cookbook. This will consist of "recipes" on how to do all sorts of things, from how to create a new template to how to create a new, dedicated resource for a newly registered user.
It will be developed as a website first, then a PDF, then a print version. Permission has been given to use MODx forum posts, and full credits will be given for both the question and the solution.
If you don't want your username and/or URL (if available) credited, just let me know, along with any other thoughts, requests or reservations you may have about the use of any of your posts. I will PM you if/when I use any of your posts, both questioners and responders.
For example, I may have something like this:
Question:
How do I do XYZ?
posted on 12/09/13 by somebody (this will be a link to somebody's URL if available)
Solution:
Here's how to do it.

Here's another way to do it, or a correction or embellishment on above solution
posted on 12/10/13 by somebodyelseagain (again, URL if available)
Suggestions, requests, thoughts are all welcome. I want this to be a community-driven project. What do you want to see in a book like this? What format and structure would you find most useful?
The beginnings will probably not be too interesting, it has to start with a theme and and outline for the contents.

I finally just converted all the tables in my book to text for the digital edition (after a month or so of trying to get them to work on all platforms) and I wrote a PHP converter to completely rewrite the lists.
