Another one suggestion: write user manual with the help of Sphinx and maintain it in source tree. There is a free service Read The Docs for hosting Sphinx-based documentation. It includes deep integration with GitHub and automatic update of documentation on every commit (with the help of GitHub webhook). It also compiles documentation into PDF and EPUB formats.

There are downsides, of course. It will require Python for local testing of documentation, learning of Sphinx for documentation setup and learning of reStructuredText for documentation writing (however, reStructuredText is close to Markdown).

I understand that user manual writing isn't a priority for now and GitHub wiki is pretty fine suited for current needs. Just wanted to describe one of other possible variants.

Yeah, I am also thinking of the better way to maintain user document. It will be great if we can generate PDF/EPUB and ship it within release package. I am pretty sure that there are many undocumented features in KOReader and KPV that people haven't found out yet ;p

The good side of documentation framework like Sphinx is it's in the source tree so we can take complete control over it, automate stuffs, etc. It's generaly more develper friendly.

But the down side is also it's in source tree, so other users cannot help improve it without knowing Git and Github.

I am thinking of generating PDF/EPUB from the wiki, since it's stored as markdown and can be checked out via Git. What do you think about this approach? Any better ideas?

Files in Git repositories on GitHub could be fully edited with the help of web-interface only.

There is an example of this feature usage at the page about integration of ReadTheDocs with GitHub.

There are also various web-based text editors supporting editing text content from GitHub repository online without cloning to local computer (like prose.io, c9.io).

You can also evaluate number of users that already contributed to documentation on wiki and predict whether strategy of keeping status quo will change the situation

Anyway, for now source and output formats of documentation aren't so important. Content is. And nobody could document new (and forgotten) features except developers. So if current workflow is comfortable for developers, I do agree with keeping it as a base for new ways of documentation producing.

Better? No way to know.
But as a hint: You can find a markdown -> html converter in the 'tools' section of: https://bitbucket.org/twobob/kual-system

oh, I completely forgot that we can edit github files online ;p That's much better.

Also thanks knc for the lua script

Just notice that transifex supports wiki markup, but not markdown or rst, though they are quite similar. I will see if we can also get the translation part working.

I think I had the same problem. My solution:
Turn reflow off
Change Render Quality from small to medium
Turn reflow on

I don't know why the Render Quality keep changing it to small when you close the document.

you need to manually choose the font in font menu, touch on the top of screen to invoke main menu and switch to the second tab

Thank you, the trick worked on all files but one that still does not work.
In any case, does not seem normal to do this procedure.

Yep, this is probably a bug with the Render Quality. This procedure was only the way I came up with my tests to read with reflow until this is fixed.
Try to set the Render Quality to high in this one that is still not working.

Ok, the new version has solved the problem reflow:
As soon as I click reflow, koreader closes and returns to the kindle.

For light, you can adjust it with the buttons instead of your fingers?
