Numbers are now being preserved along with a line denoting the page break.
For this reason it is very important that hopefully the scanner, and if not,
the validator make sure that all print page numbers are present and in
proper sequence. Especially in older books, the numbers are often garbled
showing up as slashes, semicolons, etc, and sometimes not showing up at all.

Thanks, Grace. I am familiar with the procedure for protecting chapter
titles, and maybe the problem I was referring to is not really the fault of
the stripper. As I understand it, stand-alone chapter numbers were somehow
being dropped in the conversion to BRF, even though they were properly
protected. Some volunteers have mentioned in the past that when they either
spelled out the number, or included the word Chapter, the numbers were not
lost in the BRF files.
Actually, now that I think about it, the problem was with numbers that
were not spelled out. I recall someone saying that they did include the word
Chapter, and when they checked the BRF copy, the word Chapter was still
present each time, but every number was missing. I'm sorry if I'm not making
sense, and I'm not even sure if the problem still exists.
I haven't downloaded a BRF file in ages, so if someone can verify whether numbers that are not spelled out are still being dropped in BRF files, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Paula

titlesHi:
On Jake's tips site there is a tip discussing how to protect chapteroffrom being removed by the stripper. This method will work whether there's only a number or chapter x. I agree with Gerald that all volunteers should take a few minutes to read the tips he listed in his message. Believe me it will save everyone a lotline.time, effort and aggravation. Below my signature is the direct link to the tips page. Happy reading.
