Nested ref in tag:ref creating broken ODT files

The fragment in User:TheDJ/Sandbox5 contains a broken reference (see note1). When creating this as a book, the ODT output created crashes openoffice. The fragment is from Palace_of_Westminster and was first reported on the Helpdesk Wikipedia:Help_desk#Article_added_to_any_.22book.22_renders_the_resulting_ODT_document_unusableTheDJ (talkcontribs) 01:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed that it is actually the nesting of <ref> in {{tag:ref}} that is causing this. crashes does not crashTheDJ (talkcontribs) 01:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Bug: Drag and Drop Not Working

The book organizer used to have the ability to arrange articles through drag and drop, now this feature is active. I am not sure if it is a setting that I must re-enable or if it is no longer an option. Now instead of drag and drop, there are up/down icons that make it very difficult to organize a long book.

As I was typing this, I just now realized that I can edit the wiki markup of a book that would be much faster than using several click up, wait for reload, click up cycles. Editing the markup for the book is still not as convenient as the Ajaxy drag and drop, however.  — [Unsigned comment added by Thekaleb (talkcontribs) 14:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC).]

Drag and drop works for me. What browser are you using? Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 17:00, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
