- uncomment the table of conents with page numbers in the Lojban_by_Choice/LojbanPod_lessons/Print_version and comment out the table of contents without page numbers
- generate a PDF from the Print version Lojban_by_Choice/LojbanPod_lessons/Print_version, for example with the PDF printing of FireFox on MacOS X (letter format, centered page number)
- adjust the {{SbcNewline}} templates in the lessons to ensure nice page breaks
- iterate the PDF generation and the adjustment of the {{SbcNewline}} templates until you are satisfied (don't be too pedantic but at least avoid page breaks after section headings)
