[nfbcs] wikibooks

[Aaron Cannon]

Tami is correct. 

Wiki Books are primarily authored in the mediawiki format, which is displayed in HTML. The printable versions are secondary. 

In fact, there's not much, if any,  difference between the software that powers Wikipedia and Wikibooks. The only real difference is in how articles are formatted, and the purpose of the site and the guidelines for contributors. 

So, in short, everything offered by Wiki books should be available in regular HTML by default.
