OK! This looks like chapters have subchapters, use new <section>s with
epub:type="z3998:subchapter"

Subchapters and sub-sub chapters, if we consider each of the five books a chapter. The outline is something like:

  • Book One: Infancy
    • I
      • I.
        • The curtain of the big bed…
      • II.
        • The big white globes…
    • II
      • I.
        • White patterns on the window…
  • Book Two: Childhood
Can I nest <section> elements this way?

The books are parts, the chapters are chapters, and the subchapters are subchapters.

See SEMoS 5.1.2.8 for an example of subchapter formatting.

Thanks.

So something like this?
  • book-1.xhtml
    • <h2>Book One Infancy (1865⁠–⁠1869)</h2>
  • chapter-1-1.xhtml
    • <section id="chapter-1" epub:type="chapter">
      • <h4>I</h4>
      • <section id="chapter-1-1" epub:type="z3998:subchapter">
        • <h4>I.</h4>
        • <p>The curtain of the big bed hung down beside the cot.</p>
Can I guide se split into creating those files for me or is this a manual job?

  • Since the chapter numbering doesn't restart for each book, the chapter files should be named `chapter-#.xhtml`. You can use the `se split` commands in the Step-by-Step guide for the chapters; make sure you change <h4> to <h2> in order for it to work. It is easier to manually make the book files rather than using `se split`.
  • The chapter header level should be <h3>, but this is something you can change later.
  • Usually, the subchapter headers don't appear in the ToC. You can format subchapter headers like in SEMoS 7.2.10.8, but this is something you can change later.

Hi Emma, thanks for your ongoing guidance.

Could you point me at an example of a book with a similar book-*.xml + chapter-*.xml structure? Seems like the simplest way to get the book files right.

The manual has an example of book and chapter formatting in SEMoS 6.2.1.6.3. Sartor Resartus by Thomas Carlyle also has book and chapter files.

I have a couple of questions on all caps. First, there are a few places where a telegram is signed in all caps, e.g.

<p id="id04043">“<i epub:type="z3998:letter">Your Brother Died This Evening</i>.⁠—SYMONDS.”</p>
<p id="id04044">“This evening” was yesterday. Mark had died yesterday.</p>

Not sure what to do with those.

And how about this?

<p id="id00590">There were no verses in the Prayer-Book Bible, only long grey slabs like tombstones. You kept on looking for the last tombstone. When you came to the one with the big black letters, THE KING OF THE JEWS, you knew that it would soon be over.</p>

And a related question: each book ends with an all caps END OF BOOK N. I'm inclined to delete those, wondering if that would be considered an editorial change. If they're keepers, same question about how exactly they should be formatted.

You can remove END OF BOOK N. This would be considered an editorial change since you are removing text.

Are we open to using the Greek alphabet? The PG epub uses the Roman alphabet here:

<p>How was it that patterns of sound had power to haunt and excite you? Like the “<span xml:lang="grc">potnia, potnia nux</span>” that she found in the discarded Longfellow, stuck before his “Voices of the Night.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p xml:lang="grc">Potnia, potnia nux, hypnodoteira ton polyponon broton, erebothen ithi, mole, mole katapteros ton Agamemnonion epi domon.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>She wished she knew Greek; the patterns the sounds made were so hard and still.</p>

But the scan shows Greek letters:

You should use whatever is printed in the original text. I transcribed it for you:

πότνια, πότνια νὺξ, ὑπνοδότειρα τῶν πολυπόνων βροτῶν,
ἐρεβόθεν ἴθι, μόλε, μόλε κατάπτερος
τὸν Ἀγαμεμνόνιον ἐπὶ δόμον.

Am I formatting my book files wrong? Asking b/c build-toc is not putting their full titles in the ToC file, even though build-title created their <title> elements correctly. Figuring I shouldn't just tweak to ToC file by hand.

Find a sample book file and ToC attached.

toc.xhtml
book-1.xhtml

Not sure how to mark up the second paragraph here. It's the name (all caps) and date on a christening cup, centered on two lines in the scanned page.

<p>It was like a birthday. There was to be real blancmange, and preserved ginger, and you drank raspberry vinegar out of the silver christening cups the aunts and uncles gave you when you were born. Uncle Victor had given Mary hers. She held it up and read her own name on it.</p>
<p><b>Mary Victoria Olivier</b><br/>
1863.<br/></p>

Perhaps a custom class like "engraving" and a local.css entry?

Emma Sweeney

Place the engraving in a <blockquote> element and delete the second <br/> element. You'll need custom CSS but don't use a class. You can target the specific file and <blockquote> that contain the engraving.

I've found at least one other instance of this. You're sure I shouldn't use a class?

Emma Sweeney

Yes, I'm sure. A class is used when there are more than five instances or its in the manual/supplementary guide.

This is the Greek you asked about off-group:

ἱμερος Ἔρως
Ἔρως ἀνίκατε μάχαν,
Ἔρως ὁς ἐν κτήμασι πίπτεις.

In the future, please post all your questions in the group, so that people can follow along with what you are doing. There are also several people on this group who know how to transcribe Greek besides myself.

In chapter-21.xhtml, the engraving will need to be structured like:

<p>Emilius Olivier.</p>
<p>Born November 13th, 1827.</p>
<p>Died January 2nd, 1881.</p>

The custom CSS can be:

#chapter-5 blockquote,
#chapter-21 blockquote:last-of-type{
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
}

text-indent does not apply to blockquote, only p. So add p as the
terminal selector to those two.

Like so?

#chapter-5 blockquote p,
#chapter-21 blockquote:last-of-type p{
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
}

I've gotten lint down to a handful of manual review entries that I think are correct, mainly "“ missing matching ”" instances that are actually multi-paragraph quotes. I thought I remembered seeing instructions on how to mark such to be ignored but I can't find it now.

Proofreading now and I see a couple of ugly layout issues that appear to be Kobo-specific (they look fine on Mac Books app and Kindle e-ink reader):
  • Too much whitespace around the dashes in stretched-out words like: M‑m‑mary’s m‑m‑made a tar
  • The text-align: center in the CSS we just discussed is not honored
Is this just how life is in Kobo-land?

Also: still would appreciate a pointer for how to mark manual review lint issues as resolved / ignorable.

- Can you send pictures of the issues? Have you tested the kepub file with Calibre?

- To ignore lint issues, you have to create a se-lint-ignore.xml file. See SEMoS 2.3.

Spacing with no break hyphens is a known kobo rendering bug. See my other message from earlier this week for why text align cannot be honored when alignment is overridden by the user agent. That's not a kobo bug but a general issue.

Good old Roku.

Couldn't find that, be grateful for a pointer.

Sounds like these both boil down to "c'est la vie."

Just for completeness, here are the pictures Emma asked for. Don't mind the highlighting. Installing directly or via Calibre doesn't change anything.

Ah. Yes, that was it, I had forced left justification. Undid that (confusingly by selecting Justification: Off) and the specified alignment is working.

Wondering if I should beef up the margin or padding above subchapter breaks. Seems odd that the number/name of the subchapter is so much closer to the preceding one.

Sinclair used dots in a unique way to indicate pauses in a stream of thought, similar to Dorothy Richardson's habits in Pilgrimage. The PG transcription is inconsistent in how it handles these, and I think makes a lot of inappropriate use of the ellipses character, "…". Compare the even spacing in the circled sections of the scan below with the shot from my reader.

I'm thinking what I should do instead is reproduce those effects with a combination of non-breaking spaces and periods, something like:

> …cause of all things”-nbsp-period-nbsp-period-nbsp-period-space-“Thought and Extension…

- You can add page breaks to different <section> levels (SEMoS 7.1.3.1).

- These should still use the ellipsis glyph (SEMoS 8.7.6). You should follow the SE manual's typography rules rather than the page scans. You can have a period followed by an ellipsis glyph for a four-dot ellipsis.

Using page breaks for the subchapters would be a dramatic break from the original, and I think not what the author would have intended. Her numbers feel more like HR elements in nature. And note that the current publication by NYRB treats them that way—page break for chapters, subchapter numbers in page. 

Sounds good re: the ellipses. The PG transcript is just all over the place with those. I'll make sure they're consistent.

Then, leave the subchapters alone. The standard header styling is enough.

This came up in a recent ebook, yes you should add more top margin.
Restyle the headers so that the top margin is 3em and bottom margin is
1.5em.

Will do.

Is there any kind of effective CSS hint I can give to discourage orphaned headers at the bottom of a page? I saw some discussion of things like `page-break-after: avoid` but no cleaer read that such things really work.

That's how to do it correctly, but it's up to the renderer to honor
that, not something that we can control.

Back to the engravings, a note for posterity. I'm proofreading Chapter 21 and this isn't specific enough:

/* The two engravings. */

#chapter-5 blockquote p,
#chapter-21 blockquote:last-of-type p{
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
}

There is an earlier block-quote in chapter 21 which is also being centered. The issue is that the two elements aren't siblings, they're in separate subchapters.

I've fixed it by specifying the subchapter id's instead of the file names.

/* The two engravings. */
[id~="chapter-5-3"] blockquote p,
[id~="chapter-21-10"] blockquote p{
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;

The CSS needs some tweaking.

/* Engravings */
#chapter-5-3 blockquote p,
#chapter-21-10 blockquote p{
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
}
/* End engravings */

As I read the book more closely I'm not happy with the choice of cover art—she just looks too wealthy and too smug. This is a better choice:

I hate how her name is broken up across two lines. But if I put an nbsp in place the gap between Mary and Olivier is cavernous, looks even worse.

Hey Emma. I think this is ready for review!

I didn't hear back from you on the new cover image choice. Note that the one I've checked in is of better color quality than the draft I mailed you, and higher res than the one in the SE database. Found it on the Tate website: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/peacock-ethel-n01672

I have to say, I loved this book. Didn't expect it to be such a page turner.

Yes, we're working on volunteer time. Emma have you had a moment to look
at this?

Sorry, I got the threads mixed up. Yes I'll look at it today or tomorrow.

Ok, very nice work. Definitely not the simplest project. I filed a few things to look at; let me know when you've taken care of those and I'll have another look.

I've committed fixes for most of the issues you raised and pushed back on a few via comments on https://github.com/rjrjr/may-sinclair_mary-olivier-a-life/issues/1

I filed another issue a few days ago. After you've taken care of that it'll be ready for Alex.
