[First project] Don Rodriguez by Lord Dunsany

[Markus]

Hi all,

I've tried to post before but it does not seem to have gone through (unless it's awaiting mod approval?). Apologies if I double-posted.

I would like to try my hand at Don Rodriguez by Lord Dunsany. I installed the tool chain. I read the step-by-step guide. I still have to read the manual of style.

Great, that one would be a good start.

Since there is a dedication and preface, you will have to include a half
title page. You can use `se add-file halftitlepage` to do that.
Otherwise, this should be pretty straightfoward.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can mark you as having started.

Have fun! :)

OK, Weijia will manage this with Emma reviewing.
