Looks really nice!
Just one little style note about examples. I suggest to
boldface not a whole input lines including (%i) prompts
but only the input which user really types. The idea
is borrowed from Mathematica book.
And now one big question. If we are going to adopt
this nice style then the whole Maxima manual need
a major rewrite. Are we going to do this? When?
I think than such a big work should be scheduled
to some release but probably not 5.9.2.
