Marissa,
I think as I said in my earlier post that including the option in the
unpack utility would satisfy the better of both worlds.
Here's the case as I see it right now.
The header stripper is run before a book is downloaded and attempts to remove
running headers and footers. In doing so it can remove page numbers
inadvertantly and in some cases Chapter headings. So that also adds in the step
of trying to protect chapter headings.
Also it attempts to recognize page numbers and move them to "daisy" tags, in
some books it works great and in others the page numbers are simply arbitrary
because the stripper was unable to determine a pattern.
The benefit to having the option to run the tool or not would allow us not to
run it on books we need that info for and on books where the stripper seems to
be overzealous (I'm refering to the possible stripping of chapter headings).
In the case where we didn't run the stripper the page numbers would be left in
their original form as well.
Those who still wanted the stripper run could just run it and everything would
remain the same.
I know I've rambled a bit and if I've made you more confused or anyone else let
me know.
Thanks,
Jake

Monday Meeting
Hi folks,
Let me clarify this for Monday.
You want to have page numbers in the electronic text of the books you
download as well as in the DAISY tags, yes?
What about running headers and footers?
Do you want them always stripped out?
OR
Do you want the option to strip them out via the unpack tool?
No editorializing or funny business, just tell me if I have your requests
right.
Marissa
