[help wanted] A simple asciidoc task cleaning up Moby Dick

[Seth Woodworth]

Hey folks!

If you're interested in getting involved and would like to know where we need help, I have an open issue on github that would make a great first contribution.  I'm available via hangout, chat, or email to answer any questions or help walk people through the process.

Some background:

One of the things GITenberg is trying, is converting books from the original Project Gutenberg HTML or plain text into a markup format called Asciidoc.  This markup format allows us to translate the book file into other formats: HTML, text, epub, &etc.

The GITenberg copy of Moby Dick, has been mostly converted to asciidoc (thanks to @nejasnosti).  The infamous Etymology and Extracts sections of Moby Dick need to be formatted as quotes in asciidoc, which looks something like this:

[quote, by Webster's Dictionary]
____
"WHALE.... Sw. and Dan. HVAL. This animal is named from roundness or
rolling; for in Dan. HVALT is arched or vaulted."

This github issue describes what changes need to be made and provides additional links to documentation.  If you're interested in getting involved.  Shoot me an email or ask a question in the ticket!

All the best,

Seth
