How-to guide for cover images, including links and information from manual chapter 10 #341

This is my proposed cover image how-to, which incorporates all of the detailed information and links from Section 10 of the manual. A few notes:

  1. A dl seemed like the natural way to style the list of CC0 museums; to support this I added CSS targeting dl, dt and dd in step-by-step-guide to manual.css. I did this in a separate commit so if you'd rather style it yourself you can just reject that commit.

  2. The dated search links were broken for Google Books and Hathi. I fixed the Google link, but there doesn't seem to be a way to link to an empty date restricted search in the new Hathi interface. I used a link to a search for "Art" for now, but any new search will reset the filters, so I'm not sure how useful this link is.

  3. I added a line to the manual's description of the "fine art oil painting" style making it clear that AI art does not qualify. See the PR filed against /manual for details. If you edit or reject this line there, it should be changed here as well.
