 +Q: How much does it matter that we retain original footnote numbering for books? The book "La Messagère" has footnotes that restart its numbering each chapter, so I followed the Wiki and selected "restart each section" in the footnotes settings. But because in MS Word, new sections only start between section breaks and not headings, the footnote numbering ends up appearing continuous anyway. My footnote numbering is slightly different from the original's as a result.
 +
 +A: If you are following the wiki directions, then that is fine.
 +
 +----
 +Q: For "Melania" by Melania Trump: not sure how to handle the links in the "Photo Credits" section of this book. Especially for cases like this, where a single photo credit source is attributed to a list of multiple, specific images.
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:melaniaphotocredits.png?400 |}}
 +
 +(I'm not really sure what those numbers are supposed to refer to either. They don't seem to refer to page numbers or the order in which photos appear in the photos section.)
 +
 +I saw in the Q&A that, for the Gordon Ramsay cookbook, photo credits were just added to the photos' captions. Should I do something similar here?
 +
 +A: Yes, if this question has already be answered for another title, then you do the same thing as with that other title.
 +
 +----
 +Q: Currently working on "Les couteaux dans ma gorge ne sont pas des fruits de mer." On the poetry page of the Wiki, it says that in cases where we remove complex formatting, we should put in a Producer's Note. Is there a version of that Producer's Note written in French?
 +
 +A: Updated: [[public:nnels:etext:poetry|Poetry]]

 +Q: In Etta and Otto and Russell and James, three recipe cards are transcribed. The first two are in Chapter 5 and the third is in chapter 16.
 +
 +The first two have titles and longer ingredient lists, so I opted to use subheadings. They look like this:
 +  - Chapter heading (H1)
 +  - Body text (normal)
 +  - Title of recipe (H2)
 +  - Needed: (H3)
 +  - list of ingredients (unordered list)
 +  - Instructions: (H3)
 +  - Instructions (normal)
 +
 +The third has no title -- unless you count "for Otto at night", but then the recipe is broken up -- and I wonder if it’s better to style the whole recipe as a quote or to use subheadings for "needed" and "instructions"? Here is the recipe in context:
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:recipeetta.jpg?600 |}}
 +
 +A: In this context, it is a block quote.
 +
 +----
 +Q: This table in Synesthetic Design appears to have two header rows! The best solution I can come up with is turning that top header row into additional column(s). What do you think?
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:table1.1p61.jpg?600 |}}
 +
 +A: That can work, as long as it has a proper header.
 +
 +----
 +Q: The end of the book "Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet" has a sneak preview of the next book in the series. Looking at the EPUB file in Sigil, it looks like the page numbers just start over from page 1 for this section. Since this would create duplicate page numbers, should I number the preview section differently or should I just follow the original?
 +
 +A: Follow the original book.
 +
 +----
 +Q: A couple quick questions regarding Wind and Truth Supplementary Document since this is the first one I have done where I am only working on image descriptions:
 +  * The word doc also has a title page and publisher information. Is this required in this instance? 
 +  * Is there any other information that needs to be included? (ex: About This Digital Book)
 +  * There are images on the insides of the front and back covers of the physical book, as well as the start and end pages, that are not included in the Doc or PDF. I don't know if this is a concern, just something I wanted to flag since I have also been using my physical copy of the book for easy reference.
 +
 +A: You format it the same way you do other books with the title page, publishing info, About this digital book, terms of use, and any page numbers if applicable. This is a supplementary document, not a reproduction of the full physical book. That means it is what the publisher felt should be included along with the Audiobook. We only work with what the publisher provides, as we are not editors (i.e. don't add or take anything away. Only improve for accessibility).
 +
 +----
 +
 +Q: I'm looking at the book "Oser l'humour éthique" in Sigil and I'm noticing that it's missing a lot of page numbers. For example, the book starts at page 2, and then it jumps directly to page 5 and page 9 right after. There's a few page numbers missing in-between some of the chapter headings as well.
 +
 +Should I try and re-insert the missing page numbers as blank pages or should I just leave out the missing page numbers?
 +
 +A: Keep them as is, we are not editors and can only work with what we have.
