Do you want that updated immediately, or can we wait until you
submit an update? I can change the existing source and re-publish
what we have, just let me know (please provide the correct email/URLs).

Probably the old format was in linuxdoc SGML which (still!) does not
support figures/images. We encourage moving to DocBook XML or SGML.
We have templates available, and many resources to help:
