[drupal-docs] Exporting Books from Drupal

[Kieran Lal]

Thanks.

The book I am writing is how to make your drupal navigation useful and  
usable.  It is a tutorial that teaches how to configure your navigation  
for theme, menus, blocks, and navigation menu block.  It also teaches  
how to configure blocks for people, roles, paths, and drupal  
state(logged in).

So the tutorial requires that you to click a link and go to  
/admin/block for example.  But it doesn't really belong as a help_hook  
or help message for a module since it touches so many core parts of  
Drupal.  It's similar to the CivicSpace Configuration  
guide(http://civicspacelabs.org/home/configuration_guide) or the Bryght  
Documentation(http://civicspacelabs.org/home/bryght_user_guide) we  
imported into the new CivicSpace site.

I know how to get it in, I need to know how to get it out.

Cheers,
Kieran
