Scott,

Page numbers are part of the header, and headers all go on one line.  That's
how they appear in books, and that's how the Stripper expects to find them.
If you put them on separate lines then the Stripper won't be able to handle
them properly.

If the page number occurs first, then the Stripper will leave the text, and
if the text occurs first, then the Stripper will strip the text and leave
the page number if the text is consistent enough for the Stripper to realize
that it is a header.

The problem with this last case is that either way the page number will be
ignored, and the Stripper was given the wrong name.  It's main job isn't to
strip headers.  It is to find page numbers and process them to make it
possible for navigation by page in DAISY books.  Now that Bookshare has
fixed the BRF books so that it includes the printed page numbers instead of
its own set of page numbers, it will affect the BRF page numbering as well.

The best thing to do anyway with headers is to strip the text manually and
not depend on the Stripper to remove it when it processes the page numbers.

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
