I have a feeling that print cookbooks use superscript or maybe subscript which
wouldn't translate.

Do it just like it's done in the book. Rule of thumb.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I have several recipe questions
The book I'm validating has recipes and it's the first book I've done that
has recipes. I am accumulating quite a self-structured style guide from all
this ongoing conversation, for example an asterisk to hold a blank line in
poetry, but recipes will be a new thing for me with new style requirements.
Here are a few of my questions.
Do people prefer to have measurements spelled out, for example, tablespoon
instead of Tbs and pound instead of the letters l and b.
If I want to write one and a half cups, should I write one dash one slash
two?
Or should I write one space one slash two?
And should I spell out cups or is the letter c. enough? That is 1-1/2 c? 1
1/2 cups?
Not knowing what folks' text readers are doing with this email I hope I'm
not being too confusing. I would rather have the details figured out beforehand
than trying to remedy everything after I have gone through the book once.
Thank you for all Booksharian wisdom.
This is a great book. It's been tackled twice before but returned new. It
has Hebrew in it, it has recipes. It's by one of my spiritual teachers, Rabbi
Arthur Waskow, and it's all about Jewish holidays and with delicious recipes
(because what's a Jewish holiday without Jewish recipes!). I am ordering a
printed copy of the book, which is unfortunately out of print but I'm buying a
used copy, and I am delighted to be adding excellent recipes for hamentashen
and other Jewish holiday foods, as well as beautiful information about all of
my people's religious holidays to the Bookshare collection.
So I want the recipes to be validated in the best possible way.
Thanks,
Devorah
