 +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.

 {{ :public:nnels:etext:table1.1p61.jpg?600 |}} {{ :public:nnels:etext:table1.1p61.jpg?600 |}}
 +
 +A: That can work, as long as it has a proper header.
