Item 15 on page 68 is a little confusing. In item 14 it says to delete all the "shields", but in Item 15 it says to delete the shields only for Location, Hours and Specialties. This is not a big deal in itself, but by the time I get to Item 19, I cannot get DW to display h2 when redefining the HTML element.
I keep ending up with the title "About the Cafe" defined as a paragraph, instead of h2. Twice I have retraced my steps but still cannot do it.
What would be helpful would be a listing of what the HTML code should look like at this stage - without that clue, any error in this long series of steps and the user is lost.
Thanks,
Frank

Note from the Author or Editor:
step 15 paragraph 12 remove sentence "Repeat this step for the gold shields besids the words Location, Hours and Specialties."

2nd paragraph

The completed version of map.html is incomplete. It does not include the link back to the Home page.

Also, I believe I correctly followed the steps to create the link to return to the Home page (index.html) from map.html but the link is not working.

In doing research to locate the cause of the problem, I found that the supposedly final version of map.html did not include the link information.

Note from the Author or Editor:
We've fixed this in the download files.

Directly after bolded sentence "You'll see "rgba(255,255,255,1)" in the Background-color box." add

If you can't see all of that, either use your keyboard's arrow keys to move until you see the 1 at the end, or drag the left edge of the CSS Styles panel to make it wider."

The image for Figure 9-11 appears to be a placeholder. It seems unrelated to the CSS Box Model and to the accompanying description.

Item 2 under Creating and Using Optional Regions

Sentence might need to be edited.

Maybe it should say "In the Tag Selector in the bottom-left of the document window, click <div.hours> ....

Note from the Author or Editor:
sentence 2 in step 2 should read:

Click <div.hours> in the Tag Selector at the bottom-left of the document window to select the entire <div> tag.
