kaobook will not build

yes, well, the definition comes a bit too late. To ensure it's defined before being accessed, just move it -- and the \newacronym macros, too -- into the preamble, i.e., between \documentclass and \begin{document}.

Thank you! I might have gotten there eventually, but it's a part-time activity for ...

kaobook will not build

In trying to follow the instructions from that site:

Texlive: spell check install

As I wrote, I followed the steps as given. The dictionary I downloaded was en_us.oxt.

I followed and verified the steps as given. I did hope to find some useful suggestion here, but so far, all you have done is to quibble with my posts. I make my living as a software developer, and have, for many ...

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/235313/how-to-add-spell-checker-to-texworks-on-windows#238852

After restarting TexLive, however, there is still no spell checker visible. Other ...

Book structure: Parts above Chapters?

New to working in a book context, and not sure of the right terms, so will try to illustrate, instead. What I would like to accomplish is to create this book structure:
Introduction
Part I
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
...
Chapter n
Part II
