If someone can send me a couple of pages from the original source file of
Dragon of autumn Twilight in their original format, I will be happy to
have a look at them and will try to determine why the stripping tool
failed.
I will then send on a failure report to Gustavo as appropriate.

Hi Guido:
You say that the stripper only takes out isolated lines. Recently there
was a discussion about the stripper again because the stripper only took
out half the line. The title of the book is Dragons of Autumn Twilight and
it only stripped Dragons of and left Autumn twilight on every page. And I
know for a fact that there was a blank line following it on every page.
That's what makes this tool so frustrating.

No, the stripper gobbles up only isolated lines, that's the reason for
the splitting on two lines.

Cindy,
I don't think you have to worry about the location of the chapter numbers
and titles. The only reason that the page numbers have to be in specific
places is so that they can be identified for use in the daisy file. I
don't think the daisy converter is smart enough to find and use chapters
as
navigation points yet. I hope they will have that sometime in the future,
though. Still extra formating could only help in that process, not hinder
it. :-)
The idea of splitting up the chapter titles is to make them look less
consistent and therefore less appetizing to the stripper. I am wondering
if that causes the stripper to eat the word chapter but leave the number
and/or title alone.
