+ | Q: There is a letter written by the main character (which I have formatted as a block quote) in which she crosses out her initial sign off to a letter. I feel it would be important here to keep the strikethrough as it impacts the meaning here, her changing her mind as she writes. Is this correct? And if so, per the wiki description for strikethrough I should format this directly? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: We really want to avoid strikethrough as it is just not accessible to many people. I will update the wiki to reflect my following answer: Use square brackets to create a inline note. For example: '' | ||

+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: Couple questions about the book "The Secret Future" | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. The book certainly has a lot of errors caused by weird OCR things but there also just seems to be a lot of typos and grammatical errors in the original scan of the book. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, on page 136, there' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Does chapter heading placement impact how page numbering is done at all? I ask because new chapters don't always seem to begin on new pages. Sometimes new chapters begin in the middle of a page and sometimes just the chapter headings appear on separate pages (I'll add screenshots of what these look like in the PDF). Since I'm not entirely sure how page numbers are translated when documents are converted, I wasn't sure if this sort of inconsistency would make navigating the book confusing at all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: For your first question: You are correct, we are not editors and normally do not do anything to the actual content. In this case it is a horrible OCR, so you can edit incomplete words. If there are other grammar mistakes, leave them as is. We are only changing things that got messed up during the conversion. | ||

+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: This should be an image. I noticed that a few images of text were converted to just text in the word doc. What you will need to do replace this page with the image from the PDF. You can find the instructions on [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then you will create a long description. Don't worry this is the easiest type of long description to make. First, set up the section for [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will be transcribing the form. The name of the form will be H3 (to be below the section heading of the Complex Image section) and the subsections that are underlined will be H4. All the sections of the form can be formatted with unordered list for example: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Student: Samantha Stanic | ||
+ | * Days Absent: 0 | ||
+ | * Total Days Absent: 0 | ||
+ | |||
+ | '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Images being rendered as text in the conversion happened a few times (PDF's are chaos). The other times there were images of text are on the following pages: | ||
+ | Page 57: The hand written list. In this case I would replace the image with text formatted as a list as to not disrupt the narrative flow. | ||
+ | Page 115: You can transcribe the image into the Alt-text. In the context you only have to transcribe the card, as the surrounding text gives the description of the actual card | ||
+ | Page 209: The hand written note. You can transcribe it into the Alt-text. | ||
+ | Page 220: Blurb. This can be replaced with normal text and reformatted as a quote | ||

+ | Technically, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Should the signatures or the content under the "The Arts" heading be formatted differently at all? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can format it as '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. There are parts of this book where characters speak to each other through text messages. Sometimes the conversations are interrupted by other pieces of text. Is there enough context in these passages that I wouldn' | ||

+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can format these as just normal. Don't forget to replace those emojis with unicode.See [[public: | ||

+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: In "Eight Days," there' | ||
+ | There are also a couple of cases where thoughts will appear with no spaces in between the words to indicate that the character is thinking really fast. Since this is how it is intentionally written in the original, would I just leave these as it is or should I put spaces between these words? | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can apply the style to the whole section. For the condensed words, each new word should start with a capital letter. This is called Pascal Case and also used to make Hashtags accessible. Accessible Libraries has a section on this if you are curious. You can read more at [[https:// | ||

+ | Q: In the BC Gov Doc, Accessible Service Delivery Standard, there is a mystery heading as seen in the screenshot below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The phrase “Accessible Organizations” looks like a heading, but it is not in the TOC. In the TOC, “Accessible Service Delivery Standard” is H1; “General Obligations” and “Documentation” are H2. What should I do with “Accessible Organizations”? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: That is a heading. Remember, sometimes the TOC is not complete because not everyone knows about the importance of heading navigation and having a more robust TOC. That is where we come in to reformat it for them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: I have a couple of questions for " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Right after the cover page there is a label-like page for gifting the book (as seen in (A) in the image below). I was unsure how to format this or if it should be removed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. At the end of each story there is a small poem or quotation in a stylized box (as seen in (B) in the image below). I wondered if these should be in text boxes or just be under a heading level 2. | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can remove the lable-like page, and you can put the quote in a textbox. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: A 2-part question about notes in what appear to be headings in Part 7 (Psalms) of NKJV Life Application Study Bible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - For our purposes, can a heading have a note in it? | ||
+ | - Are these even headings? In the following example, see the text that reads: “To the Chief Musician, a contemplation of the sons of Korah” (bottom of left page and top of right page). I identified this text as a heading rather than body text because the font size and style matches what is used for headings in previous sections. However, I think it could make sense as body text, too… | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: What page in the ebook is this located on? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Q pt 2: It seems as though the size of the font changes the page numbers... There are several instances within Psalms, which you can access through the TOC. The first instance is actually in Psalm 5, also 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 etc. (I gave a later example in my original question to show the difference in the font size between the body text under head H2 "Book Two. Psalms 42-72." | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Anything can have a note, including headings. I would say in this instance that text is body text. | ||
+ | |||

+ | Q: A couple of questions for Blood on the Breakwater. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. At the very end of the book (page 229), there is a message from the author. I initially gave this the heading ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Also, the section 'Kids books by Jean Paetkau:' | ||
