Jon,
I've checked the diff list between your version of 01HH and my previous
version. Most of
the changes are straightforward and can be implemented in the remaining books
easy
enough. A couple of concerns though:
Replaced "pick a O" with "pick a 0"
I my copies of each of the FW books, the original text definitely has this down
as a
capital "O" rather than the number zero. This only really stands out because
there are
o's and zeros nearby. I'm not sure if it really needs to be errata though,
it's only a
relatively minor change.
"Map of Central Texas", etc.
After thinking about it, I actually don't think that these should be in the
errata list.
It's not really an error in the books, its more a style change when shifting to
HTML. If
you agree I'll leave the capitalilised "The" in the text where the link to the
map is
used, but remove the entry from the errata page.
Tables:
Is everyone happy with using the HTML table tags in the XML source? I would
have thought
that a more flexible approach would be to use generic terms in the XML and
replace these
with HTML tags in the XSL file. Just a thought, I'll be fine with it if
everyone else is
happy.
Character Entities:
I'll go ahead and replace these in the XML of the other books as I find
instances.
Lost Changes:
In your version of the XML it seems that some of the fixes I applied to the
previous
version have been undone. Namely the paragraphs in the survival skills section
and the
misplaced periods in the Errata section. I'll reintroduce these fixes into my
current
version of the file and check that they get back in the next time I submit
changes.
I've built up a list of pending concerns that I have, I'll hopefully get them
posted
later today so that we can have a good-old argument about them. I've still not
tackled
and grammar issues, since my grammar leaves a lot to be desired. :)
Iain.
