In addition to the unsemanticated italics I spoke about on the list…

  1. There are unsemanticated abbreviations throughout as well, e.g. names (R. J., H. Danner, etc.), initialisms (M.D., etc.), etc. The Step-by-Step guide contains a regex that can be useful for finding these. See 8.10 of the manual.
  2. There are missing thematic breaks throughout, e.g. chapter 7 ("Hugo opened his eyes…"). See section 4.1.1.2.7 of the manual.
  3. Some of the semanticated non-English italics, e.g. conquistadores, are in M-W, and therefore should not be italicized; see 8.2.9 of the manual.

I have found and corrected as many of the abbreviations and italics as I could, but I think I'm going to need some help on the thematic breaks. I sort of get the idea of what they represent, but I'm not confident on when they would be used. Is there a primer or reference I could look at that you'd recommend?

Anywhere there’s a space, i.e. a blank line (or space and a line) between paragraphs. Some books use both, I only remember seeing blank space in this one.

For example, p. 90 in the scans.

Gotcha, thanks. That's the example you referenced earlier and now I see what you mean about the blank line.

How's it coming, Nick?

brownna01 commented 3 years ago

I'll get this finished up tonight if at all possible and make the last commits.

Thanks, Nick

Besides the one on page 90, I found 5 thematic breaks in Chapter 13, and none in the rest of the book that I could see. I also remediated the abbreviation issues you outlined in your other email.
