<p>We also have some work to do converting docstrings to ReST for the API
Reference. Please be sure to follow the few guidelines described in
<a class="reference internal" href="documenting_mpl.html#formatting-mpl-docs"><em>Formatting</em></a>. Once it is converted, please include the module in
the API documentation and update the status in the table to &#8220;converted&#8221;. Once
docstring conversion is complete and all the modules are available in the docs,
we can figure out how best to organize the API Reference and continue from
there.</p>

</table>
<p>And we might want to do a similar table for the FAQ, but that may also be overkill...</p>
<p>If you agree to author a unit, remove the question mark by your name
(or add your name if there is no candidate), and change the status to
&#8220;has author&#8221;.  Once you have completed draft and checked it in, you
can change the status to &#8220;submitted&#8221; and try to find a reviewer if you
don&#8217;t have one.  The reviewer should read your chapter, test it for
correctness (eg try your examples) and change the status to &#8220;complete&#8221;
when done.</p>
<p>You are free to lift and convert as much material from the web site or
the existing latex user&#8217;s guide as you see fit.  The more the better.</p>
<p>The UI chapters should give an example or two of using mpl with your
GUI and any relevant info, such as version, installation, config,
etc...  The backend chapters should cover backend specific
configuration (eg PS only options), what features are missing, etc...</p>
<p>Please feel free to add units, volunteer to review or author a
chapter, etc...</p>
<p>It is probably easiest to be an editor. Once you have signed up to be
an editor, if you have an author pester the author for a submission
every so often. If you don&#8217;t have an author, find one, and then pester
them!  Your only two responsibilities are getting your author to
produce and checking their work, so don&#8217;t be shy.  You <em>do not</em> need
to be an expert in the subject you are editing &#8211; you should know
something about it and be willing to read, test, give feedback and
pester!</p>
<div class="section" id="reviewer-notes">

<h3>mathtext user&#8217;s guide&#8211; reviewed by JDH<a class="headerlink" href="#mathtext-user-s-guide-reviewed-by-jdh" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>This looks good (see <a class="reference internal" href="../users/mathtext.html#mathtext-tutorial"><em>Writing mathematical expressions</em></a>) &#8211; there are a few
minor things to close the book on this chapter:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt>The main thing to wrap this up is getting the mathtext module</dt>
<dd><p class="first last">ported over to rest and included in the API so the links from the
user&#8217;s guide tutorial work.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<ul class="simple">
<li>There&#8217;s nothing in the mathtext module that I really consider a
&#8220;public&#8221; API (i.e. that would be useful to people just doing
plots).  If mathtext.py were to be documented, I would put it in
the developer&#8217;s docs.  Maybe I should just take the link in the
user&#8217;s guide out. - MGD</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">This section might also benefit from a little more detail on the
customizations that are possible (eg an example fleshing out the rc
options a little bit).  Admittedly, this is pretty clear from
readin ghte rc file, but it might be helpful to a newbie.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The only rcParam that is currently useful is mathtext.fontset,
which is documented here.  The others only apply when
mathtext.fontset == &#8216;custom&#8217;, which I&#8217;d like to declare
&#8220;unsupported&#8221;.  It&#8217;s really hard to get a good set of math fonts
working that way, though it might be useful in a bind when
someone has to use a specific wacky font for mathtext and only
needs basics, like sub/superscripts. - MGD</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first">There is still a TODO in the file to include a complete list of symbols</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Done.  It&#8217;s pretty extensive, thanks to STIX... - MGD</li>
