Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

	
Confirmed errors:


[59] bottom 3rd of page;
Second example starting with start_section("two","Report part two")
using a hidden table within <div> does not work. Text "This is a table of numbers and such:" 
displays when spinner is clicked but not table of data.

This has been updated on the code in the download. 


(88) Author note about Hack 25:
the PHP 5 interpreter needs to be installed with the calendar option for this hack to work, or that 
if that is not done the php.net site contains code that can be used as an alternative.

	
{102}  Table-generating code at the bottom half of the page;
The looping construct that creates the rows and columns of the table will output
'bad' HTML depending on the number of images in the pics/ directory.

If pics/ contains 1-4 images, then the table is well-formed (only a single row with
1-4 columns.

If pics/ contains exactly 5 images (or a multiple of 5 images), then the well-formed
table rows will be followed by a row with no td elements ("<tr></tr>"), and the
resulting HTML will fail validation (ie. http://validator.w3.org/)

For any other number of images, the last row of the table will be short 1-4 td
elements (even though the resulting HTML will pass validation).
