Issues from first review pass

[robinwhittleton]

general:

• Typogrify is making some changes
• kvas is in MW as kvass. Modernize that and remove the italics
• Same for bábushka -> babushka
• Same for vódka -> vodka
• Given that the stories are self-contained, we should go for epub:type="chapter se:short-story"

cover:

• this is personal taste of course, but I might adjust the crop to not clip off the snout of their steed. Up to you though.

content.opf

• longdesc: lithurgical -> liturgical
• longdesc: add an abbr to A.

dedication:

• missing an abbr on J. C., and potentially we can assume z3998:personal-name semantics?

pronunciation:

• I think most of the italics here are not ems or graphemes but phonemes. See spec: https://www.daisy.org/z3998/2012/vocab/structure/#phoneme

introduction:

• needs epub:type="introduction" instead of chapter
• fixing that will trigger a lint error about a missing win MARC role for Magnus

vasilisa-the-fair:

• If it’s a plain blockquote without verse/song semantics then it doesn’t need a span (or an exception in lint). Alternatively, it could be a z3998:verse given that it’s rhyming? Or even some other approach that relies on styling without semantics?

notes:

• In the scans each note has a little space between it. I suggest we replicate this here.
• You often use <i> at the start when it’s a term that’s being defined. These should use <dfn> instead. See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-dfn-element
• The Brother of Christ has a missing close quote
• Roman numbers (“vii”) should be uppercase, not lowercase: https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.0/single-page#8.8.5.1
• A couple of full stops after close quotes that need switching.

glossary:

• Remove italics from Vide, it’s in MW.

endnotes:

• note 28: as Inferno is only a part of the larger work it should be quoted rather than italicised. We don’t need it language on it as it’s a common English word.
• note 28: on the other hand, the following verse snippet definitely is Italian. Add xml:lang="it" to the blockquote, and CSS from https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.0/single-page#5.3.1.3
• note 57 italicises pin-case, note 68 doesn’t. Suggest removing the italics from 57.

Thanks for looking at these, great job. A few more things on the second review pass:

• Introduction still needs epub:type introduction and not chapter.
• The cover has been saved out at 100% quality I think. It definitely doesn’t need to be 4MB. Can you resave cover.jpg at 80% quality and run build-images again? A normal cover should be around 350KB - 1MB.
• The link to note 63 should be inside the preceding span so that it sits level with the text
• In notes: q.<span>v</span>. -> <abbr epub:type="z3998:initialism">q.v.</abbr>
