Subject: [bksvol-discuss] did Mayrie's thing now more questions
Hi all,
I just took about 25 sample pages from a loooong book, including the
front matter, a few text pages, some back matter notes, and the index.
The results are interesting. It looks better. I can see why I have
thousands of paragraph marks: I've always been replacing all line
marks with paragraph marks according to something I read (or likely
misread) in the Birds and Bees practice book.
So that mystery is solved. So doing what Mayrie said I laboriously
went through all the pages and made decisions about every line break.
That would have taken forEVER for the 255 book but that aside, if that
is what it is gonna take, that is what it is going to take.
There are some right-pointing arrows in the table of contents I cannot
figure out. There were there before and after Mayrie's process, so
nothing was caused or fixed by that process. Are these arrows a
problem?
Also, it was quite puzzling how to handle the Index. It is a wicked
index to start with, just a huge mess. It is so thorough that it has
entries with indented entries beneath them and some with even indented
beneath them! I did not know how to handle that paragraph and line
wise so I left them to come to ask. Can I mention that I officially
abhor this index and that was BEFORE I did this process. Now I am up
to loathing it with a passion. lol
Finally, I am left with a significant number of paragraph marks
anyhow. They appear:
-everywhere time I did a return (for example, to get aline before a
page number, after a page number, etc.)
-everywhere there was truly a paragraph break
-everywhere a note or new word entry in the glossary ended
-all the heck over the index, interspersed with evil little line breaks
Feedback?
THANKS!
Charisma
P.S. have questions about ellipses and bolds but putting in a
separate post to keep things straight
