[John Kenny]

There is one image in the book, a hand-drawn black and white map. Just want to be clear on what I should be putting in the repository, the manual seems to say two different things:

https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.5/7-high-level-structural-patterns#7.8.4 says "<img> element whose image is black-on-white line art ... are PNG files with a transparent background"

https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.5/10-art-and-images#10.5.3.3 says "Images that consist of plain black line drawings are converted to SVG for distribution"

[Emma Sweeney]

You should put the source image file (JPG/PNG) in the /images folder and the SVG in the /src/epub/images folder.

Emma

[John Kenny]

I'm still not clear on when 7.8.4 applies - under what circumstances would I use a PNG rather than SVG?

[Emma Sweeney]

There are some images that can't be turned into SVGs, like black and white photos or images with greyscale. These types of images don't look good when you trace them in Inkscape. Drawings like yours are fairly easy to trace.

Since the image will be an SVG, you will need to add the `se:image.color-depth.black-on-transparent` semantic.

Emma

[John Kenny]

7.8.4 does not refer to photos, it specifically references images which are "black-on-white line art (i.e. exactly two colors, not grayscale!)"

I still don't get what the purpose of 7.8.4 is, 10.5.3.3 seems to imply that these images should in fact be SVGs.

[Emma Sweeney]

Some line art can also be difficult to turn into SVGs. There is a whole discussion about PNGs vs SVGs involving another production. The `se:image.color-depth.black-on-transparent` allows the image to invert the colors in dark mode.

Emma

[Alex Cabal]

The manual should be updated to specify SVG in this case.

[John Kenny]

There are some t-029 lint errors appearing when a letter followed by a period is used to reference an unnamed city, e.g.

"... the good people of X. had never allowed her to suffer"

Seems like I should keep the text as is and filter these out using se-lint-ignore.xml - just want to confirm.

[Alex Cabal]

What I do in these cases is simply to remove the period, X is clearly an
elision/standin word and the period doesn't add to that

[John Kenny]

OK, I'll remove the period. Is that Editorial?

For cover image, best thing I've found so far is https://standardebooks.org/artworks/auguste-renoir/a-road-in-louveciennes but I don't have any attachment to this so let me know if you see something better.

[Alex Cabal]

Yes, editorial.

The costume in that painting is fairly distinct. Is it period
appropriate for the book?

[Emma Sweeney]

I think the painting is a little too cheery for a mystery novel involving strange disappearances. Since this takes place in a village, you might find a painting of a village or cottage in the art db that could work.

Tough to find a cover image that ticks all the boxes - country road, decaying estate, gloomy aura, period appropriate.

Here are a couple that might work, cropped previews below:

https://collections.artsmia.org/art/60157/caretakers-cottage-in-the-forest-of-compiegne-paul-huet

Also a couple in the SE Art DB that might work with some cropping and/or erasing of non-period appropriate people or livestock:

[Alex Cabal]

John Atkinson Grimshaw specialized in paintings like you describe,
though at least as of a few years ago finding PD proof was difficult.
This may have changed as more art books entered the public domain.

There is, as it happens, what might be a _perfect_ Grimshaw for this title, but alas! PD proof is lacking (I can find it, anyway).

I did a little poking, though, and found Norwood MacGilvary, "Twilight after the Rain" (1906) which is CC0 from the Smithsonian. Cover crop could look like this:

I don't know whether that sufficiently corrseponds to the eponymous "lane", but thought I'd at least suggest the option.

FWIW! David / Fife, UK

[John Kenny]

Twilight after the Rain seems fine to me.

One problem I've seen with the Grimshaws, aside from the general lack of PD proof, is that they tend to be very landscape-ish, and the required crop often seems like it would change the vibe significantly.

[David]

I'm glad that could work. I've uploaded it to the artworks DB, but not made any assignment. I'll leave that to your manager. :)

(P.s. Of course in my previous note, I meant to say: "(I CAN'T find it, anyway)"...)

[Emma Sweeney]

Twilight after the Rain looks good! I've assigned it to this production.

Emma

[John Kenny]

This is ready for review.

[Vince]

All right, I’ll get to it in the next few days.

[Vince]

Looks pretty good, John. A few things to take care of, including, unfortunately, a couple of rebases. As I mention in the review, ping me in the comments if you need some help with that.

[John Kenny]

Not sure where my mind was on that initial commit. That should be fixed now, also changed the commit message for "Fix mismatched quote".

The rest looks pretty straightforward, but I want to make sure that I've got all the rebasing done correctly before I move on, so if you could take a look and confirm that the rebasing is complete and correct I'll finish up the other stuff.

[Alex Cabal]

Are we all set here?

There hasn’t been amy activity after what is mentioned below; I pinged him earlier today but haven’t heard anything.

Sorry, hadn't noticed the comment in the issue, hopefully will get the remaining items done this weekend.

[Vince Rice]

GitHub emails you when there’s a comment, did you not see it?

I didn't get an email for either of your comments, I think because I wasn't yet participating in the issue, and you didn't @mention me.

[Vince Rice]

You’re automatically participating, you’re the owner of the repository. This is the same way all of us work on every production, so if you didn’t get notified there’s something different going on here.

This is ready for you, Alex.

[Alex Cabal]

OK, everything looks good John, thanks! I've gone ahead and released it.
