We have three FAQ categories covering customization: Customization itself, Style System 1, and Style System 2. With S1 becoming more and more deprecated and unsupported, I'd like to do the following:
- Rename the Customization category to Journal Customization;
- Move all S2 FAQs into Journal Customization;
- Rename the Style System 1 category to Journal Customization - Old Style System or similar; and
- Split off advanced topics to an Advanced Journal Customization category.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with the FAQ listing as I see it:
