Collection of minor issues with the E-Book translation

[fefrei]

Here's a set of minor issues I noticed with the E-Book:

• [x] Chapter 17:

  And if Paper-2 said 997$\times$997, Harry would leave Paper-1 blank.

  The parser translates \times to ×, but leaves the $ in.

• [x] Chapter 19:

  You will not be hurt and neither will I\@.

  The parser translates the \@ into a space.

• [ ] Chapter 21:

  \begin{enumerate}[A.]{

  The e-book uses 1., 2. etc. for numbering, which would be fine… but the text after the list talks about items A through D.

• [ ] Chapter 27:

  Mr~Carl Sloper

  With the way the Kindle renders it, when making the lines justified, the space protected space isn't stretched, which looks weird. I don't know whether this is a Kindle weirdness or the MOBI file could represent this better.

• [x] Chapter 58:

  we were to rescue a woman, you and I\@. You tried to slay the protector man

  Somehow, in the E-Book, this reads as we were to rescue a woman, you and I\ . You tried to slay the protector man.

• [ ] Chapter 78:

  the most powerful wizard in the world \&c

  In the E-Book, this is typeset as „world &c.“

• [ ] Chapter 86:

  the sum over all possible excuses would be more than $.01$

  $2 + 2 = $…

  These $ signs do make it into the E-Book.

All these were found in the MOBI version, downloaded about a month ago – sorry about the noise if they have been fixed in the meantime :-)

Hi @fefrei, thank you very much for the valuable feedback! I just finished the creation of a German edition, where I used a different set of tools for ebook creation. Now I plan to add this toolset to this repo as well. Unfortunately this will take some time, so for the moment I would prefer to keep this issue open until I fix in one way, or another...

Hi @fefrei finally I found the time to rewrite the e-book generation. The remainder should hopefully be fixed by https://github.com/rrthomas/hpmor/pull/118

Thank you!

It looks like we were to rescue a woman, you and I\@. You tried to slay the protector man is better now, but there's still an extra space left before the full stop.

Also, $.01$ still seems to contain the dollar marks.

Apart from this, no more complaints. Thanks, again, for your work to make this masterpiece easily accessible on e-book readers!

Sorry, my reply was misleading, the PR is not merged yet...

[fefrei]

That explains that. Sorry 🙈

The new version of the file was missing in yesterday's released, now added, looks fine to me.

All looking good now – thank you ❤️
