Proposal ONIX technique for Charts, diagrams, and formulas #257

Closed gregoriopellegrino closed 2 months ago

gregoriopellegrino commented 3 months ago

Thanks to Chris here is the proposal for the ONIX technique for "Charts, diagrams, and formulas"

gregoriopellegrino commented 2 months ago

I've updated the pull request based on Charles' suggestion and on comments during last call (check only for metadata declaring that accessible STEM content is present, without checking whether the publisher declares the presence of STEM content in the ebook).

I would proceed with the merge.

Looks good overall. Minor suggestion: plural or singular? We have a mix. Charts, images, diagrams, but formula. Having even one in the book makes the adaptation necessary but maybe it reads better if all are plural?

chrisONIX commented 2 months ago

It does look good. If we go for plural of formula - have to decide if use formulae or formulas. I have used formulae in the suggested text but formulas is equally good.

Yes, I was wondering about formulae vs formulas. Quick check online suggests that "ae" is used in scientific contexts and is also more common in British English. We are currently using "color" not "colour" which suggests we are using American spelling rules. Who is our supreme authority on copyedit rules? (Joking, but we do need a way to make decisions.)

This looks good. I will merge.

If we make a decision, I will proceed with the changes.

My vote would be for US English. Of course, that is where I live Do we change the lange attribute to en-us? It seems reasonable and will be important for the localizations.

Best George

We use US-english for ONIX by default - even if we are based in the UK - I would say use what is understandable to the majority of users

Sorry, since I am neither British English nor American English, could you please point me to the changes that need to be made?

Thank you 😀

chrisONIX commented 2 months ago

The consensus is to use the US English version of the plural of formula - that is formulas.

So if the word ‘formulae’ is present please replace this with ‘formulas’

Thank you
