I have a few questions:

  1. The book is organized into 10 chapters, with each chapter divided into sections i, ii, iii, iv, etc. How should I format this? Should I still use Roman ordinals in the chapter titles?
  2. There are some instances of caps being used in the middle of a word for emphasis, should I use the <b> class for this? Screenshot 2025-03-26 120712.png
  3. How should I format this compass bearing?Screenshot 2025-03-26 121029.png
Thank you!

The book is organized into 10 chapters, with each chapter divided into sections i, ii, iii, iv, etc. How should I format this? Should I still use Roman ordinals in the chapter titles?

Yes, use upper case Roman ordinals.

There are some instances of caps being used in the middle of a word for emphasis, should I use the <b> class for this?

I'd convert those to <em> tags.

How should I format this compass bearing?

That looks to be a half point on the 32-wind compass. I would semanticate it as in SEMoS 8.10.8 and use the 1/2 unicode glyph as per 8.8.6.1

Thank you for the answer Lukas. To clarify: should I leave the section names as lowercase Roman ordinals? Or replace them by thematic breaks?

Lukas Bystricky

I would keep them as separate sections with uppercase Roman ordinals (per 8.8.5.1 Roman numerals are set in uppercase).

Hi! I selected this painting by Winslow Homer (proof of copyright here https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/53269) but I'm not sure if it fits with the fine art painting style.

Based soley on the title, I think it's a good fit. As you hinted at it is a watercolor though, so Alex will have to decide if it passes the eye test.
