Open the file in a web browser and use the inspector to see what style
is indenting the text. Then you'll get a better idea of how to override it.
>>>>> * No <abbr> tag on "radar"
>>>>> * Perngrams
>>>>> <
https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=glamor%2Cglamour&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3>usage you can change "glamor" to "glamour" in an editorial commit
>>>>> * You can remove the spaces in "week end" and "pet cocks" in
>>>>> editorial commits
>>>>> * You should leave "whups" as is, that's not a sound-alike
>>>>> change and could be taken to be dialectical usage anyways
>>>>> * Use <i epub:type="se:name.vessel.ship"> for spaceship
>>>>> names. You can add italics in a non-editorial commit
>>>>> * You can set "F-T-L" as "F.T.L." like any other initialism.
>>>>> See8.10.2
>>>>> <
https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.7.1/8-typography#8.10.2>. If "L-C" is a brand name, you can follow8.10.9.5 <
https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.7.1/8-typography#8.10.9.5>and leave it as is.
>>>>> * You should leave "God damn" as is
>>>>> * That's either a quirk of the Pyphen module we use to add
>>>>> soft hyphens to the text for certain epub builds or an
>>>>> issue with the rendering software on your ereader. In
>>>>> either case, it's not something we can control as the ebook
>>>>> producer so you can disregard that
>>>>> * I agree, you should revert "Jones-fearing" to
>>>>> "Jonesfearing." This can be done in a non-editorial commit
>>>>> * For the stop sign, I think the HTML should look something like
>>>>> <blockquote>
>>>>> <p>Stop!</p>
>>>>> <p>Restricted Area Ahead</p>
>>>>> <p>Warning: This Road Is Mined</p>
>>>>> <p>“Trespassers beyond this point will be shot without
>>>>> further notice.” Decree #404‒5</p>
>>>>> <p>People’s Commissariat of Culture and Solidarity.</p>
>>>>> </blockquote>
>>>>>
>>>>> You don't need to capture the exact formatting of the
>>>>> original printing. We're trying to capture the/semantics/of
>>>>> the book, not the original appearance. There isn't a
>>>>> semantic reason for a break after "shot" or "Commissariat
>>>>> of," that just happens to be where the original printer ran
>>>>> out of space. Similarly the first three lines should be
>>>>> distinct paragraphs because they are distinct thoughts.
>>>>> With this HTML format you can play with the:nth-child
>>>>> <
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_nth-child.php>selector to give different treatments to each line. Some pointers:
>>>>> - Usetext-transform: uppercase
>>>>> <
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-transform>for the "STOP!" line
>>>>> - Use font-variant: all-small-caps for the "Restricted Area
>>>>> Ahead" line
>>>>> - Use font-variant: small-caps for the third and fourth
>>>>> lines (the difference between all-small-caps and small-caps
>>>>> is that small-caps preserves capitalization and
>>>>> all-small-caps does not, just like you see in the original
>>>>> printing)
>>>>> - Usetext-align: center
>>>>> <
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-align>on the sign blockquote to center all of the lines, then add a rule for the last line specifically to right-align the "People's Commissariat" etc. line
>>>>> * No need for tagging on that, that's just a somewhat extreme
>>>>> case of English dialect if your interpretation is right
>>>>> * Just leave it as is, the text doesn't really indicate how
>>>>> you would scan the song as verse so splitting it up would
>>>>> just be conjecture
>>>>> * You can delete the comma in an editorial commit. We have
>>>>> plenty of cases of an exclamation point in the middle of a
>>>>> sentence in the corpus and it's a more standard usage than
>>>>> an exclamation point followed by a comma
>>>>> * That's correct, fix it as a non-editorial commit
>>>>> (transcription fixes are non-editorial) and report it to
>>>>> Gutenberg
>>>>> * The order that you specify the CSS rules matter. Try
>>>>> copying the CSS/exactly/as you find it in themanual example
>>>>> <
https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.7.1/7-high-level-structural-patterns#7.5.7>, with the i1 rule coming after the other verse rules. That will add the indentation. As a side note, you should consolidate the z3998:verse and z3998:poetry rules so that they are just different selectors on the same rules. E.g.
>>>>> [epub|type~="z3998:poem"] p,
>>>>> [epub|type~="z3998:verse"] p { etc. }
