Lisa,
That's probably because as you said, you don't get the whole Stripper
thing.
The Stripper strips text from headers, not page numbers. It processes
the
page numbers when it finds them which can make it look as if they are
stripped if you use a tool which doesn't handle the page numbers in the
same
way that Bookshare does. Unfortunately, KES and Bookshare don't treat
page
numbers in the same way at the moment, so many members think that the
Stripper has stripped them.
It's a DAISY issue which is a bit involved and is difficult for most
volunteers to understand. The bottom line is that prior to last April
the
DAISY specification did not state exactly how page numbers should be
treated, and not everyone implemented them the same way in DAISY, so they
don't always show up even though they are there. At some point in the
future though when all the tools support the DAISY standard which was
released last year and Bookshare has rerun the entire collection back
through the tools, then these page numbers which members insist have been
stripped will all show up in K-1000 and other tools which implemented the
page numbers differently than Bookshare.

Hi, all.
I don't really get the whole stripper thing. I've tried it several ways,
but
it still seems that when I validate a book, the page numbers get
stripped.
Just my two cents.

If I understand things correctly, you should either strip them out
yourself, or make them consistent so that the automated stripper can do
it. I believe that if you put the title or author header on a separate
line from the page number, it will not be stripped. I think the
stripper
looks for page numbers and consistent, repetetive text on pages.
I'm sure one of the big guns will correct anything wrong here, but if I
understand things correctly, if it sees a page number on a line by
itself,
then it leaves the page alone, so the title and author information will
not be removed.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Page Numbers and Headers on the Same Line
Hey all,
So, when I'm scanning books, and the page number is immediately
followed
by the book title or author on the same line, am I better off placing
each on a separate line? If so, should I place a blank line in between
the two?
Thanks,
Scott
