As someone who has been volunteering by proofing and scanning for ten
years I was surprised to find out about the need to protect repeated
text in poetry and children's books
(https://www.bookshare.org/cms/proofreading-home). It made sense once I
thought about it, since it's from the Bookshare converter tool doing its
trick of stripping running headers and running footers. But it never
connected for me before that a children's book or a poetry book with a
repeated stanza that is at the very top or very bottom of a page might
have that eaten by the converter tool. Ugh.
The way we're supposed to handle footnotes has also changed, back to
what I think we did way back when I started volunteering. It makes more
sense to me to do it the way it is in the new manual, than how we were
doing it by putting footnotes in square brackets.
With the new manual all on one web page and downloadable as an rtf, I
guess I can finally quit complaining now about about how hard the old
manuals have been to navigate, and that they weren't available in a
document! grin.
