Jean H. Weber and Kees Kriek from the LibreOffice Documentation Team are happy to announce the immediate availability of the Writer Guide 7.2, one week after the release of LibreOffice Community 7.2

- Added a note about icon sets and Gallery sets in this Preface.
- Added details about the Insert > Formatting Mark submenu (Chapter 2).
- Updated list terminology and changed screenshots in Chapters 4, 8, 9, 11, and anywhere else lists are mentioned.
- Added new gutter margins and choices for page background fills (Chapters 5, 6, and 9).
- Updated details about some options on tabs of the PDF Options dialog (Chapter 7).
- Added new, advanced features of the Style Inspector (Chapter 9)
- Updated details about Templates dialog (Chapter 10).
- Added “no registered database” error message in Mail Merge Wizard (Chapter 14).

Some communities are actually using machine translation to break the language barrier and quickly get a readable text for them. But although machine translation had evolved in accuracy, the localization teams have fun correcting the machine produced mistakes and review the grammar and linguistics:

The outcome of this team effort is multiple: beside getting a a good translated textbook, the review done by local team allows to improve the consistency of the translated user interface, detect mistakes and outdated in Help pages and also report mistakes upstream, in a rich and continuous improvement.
Fell free to join your local LibreOffice documentation community and work with them.
