i knew, when this came out a few months back, that i had put up a similar interface a long time ago, but i couldn't track it down quickly, so i forgot about it... but i just stumbled across it again. it was april 2010: > http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/private/gutvol-d/2010-April/date.html the subject is "a horizontal proofing interface, line by line", and the first post in the thread was made on april 1, 2010: > http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/private/gutvol-d/2010-April/006389.html the demo itself is here: > http://z-m-l.com/go/lines/pagelines.html this is more the "smoothreading" interface, where a person just clicks a button if a line has a mistake; an administrator gets the report and fixes the error. -bowerbird

i can't ignore the ignorance any more

greg said: > poor results with auto-conversion from > HTML to other formats (epub and mobi, > among others): this is often due to choices > that producers make about using HTML to > impact layout, rather than just structure. > Enough said. well, i guess that might be "enough said" if your sole objective is to displace blame. but from other perspectives, it's just lame. and overall, it's clearly a short-sighted take. it conveniently ignores your own culpability in _creating_ this situation as it now exists... further, it implies you couldn't make anything of substance with the input you get even now. and, in what might be its _most_ bizarre twist, it treats producers as a mysterious "black-box", when they are actually live humans with whom you _could_ engage in productive conversation... but, of course, that would require you to _listen_. *** don said: > I think there are plenty of producers > who don't understand the distinction. > Why aren't WWers send back projects > that include destructive layout tagging, or > don't include important structural tagging? while not overly simplistic, this will not work, for both technical _and_ personnel reasons... there are too many ways to express structure in .html, so an omnibus converter is _thorny_. to make it bake, you must constrain the range. thus emerges the second problem: personnel. d.p. postprocessors were recruited with a lure of "you can make the book look like you like." indeed, that is the best (only?) reward they get. most have adopted the attitude that their goal is to make their .html look like the paper-book. (albeit not completely, and it's very fascinating to see which factors they do and do not honor; but their intent, for the most part, is to clone.) they also each developed an idiosyncratic style, and being a "snowflake" is important to them... so you'll never be able to make 'em robots now. and, unlike greg, who is now acting like this difficulty is something that was "inevitable", i was informing all of you, all along, that this would eventually bite all of you in the butt... but you didn't want to take your head out of it. plus you've never valued consistency correctly. so, i will say it again, directly: _i_told_you_so._ and i was right. and you were wrong. as usual. *** just because someone might find it interesting, this is the issue which got me banned from d.p. i was telling the postprocessors their snowflakes would eventually get discarded as "unworkable" -- they'd been told their .html would be at p.g. "forever", and that was a huge recruiting point, as some people thought it made 'em immortal -- so i was freaking out juliet to the banning stage. and the after-effects linger. part of the reason this issue causes so much resentment at d.p. is precisely because it questions that "immortality", by exposing the weakness of the .html versions. so there is a reluctance to face the fact directly... *** as i said up above, though, the strangest thing about this whole "debate", whenever it arises, is that producers are treated like a "black-box", which cannot be understood, let alone affected. this is bizarre. if you wanna understand these people, it's easy. they are cogent individuals who actively discuss these very issues, in public, on the d.p. forums... if you want to know what they're doing, and why they are doing it, and what they think about it all, all you have to do is go and read what they write. and let me tell you, their discussions are a _lot_ better -- smarter, well-rounded, nuanced, etc. -- than the ones which you people have here. really. plus, if you need, you can ask 'em questions, and they'll give you their answers, probably promptly. that's right, this is a black-box that can talk back! i have read these forums, and i can tell you that these producers are more than willing to give you what you want, _provided_ they get what they want. because -- after all -- they _are_ doing the work... they're not gonna sacrifice getting what they want just so you'll get what you want... that'd be stupid. but they've bent over backwards to try to give you what you want. so it's your turn to be reasonable. and let me tell you, the "make them do it my way" philosophy which marcello and lee and jim exhibit _won't_ get you what you want. in a million years. but here's a tip. before going over there for dialog, decide amongst yourselves what it is that you want. because one big reason they are frustrated with you is that you don't really have any idea what you want. *** so, is there anything which can be done here? well, d'uh, yeah, just like i have said all along... you can make some straightforward changes to the text version you require, and then use that as your master format. voila, bingo, regardez. you could still let people submit "snowflakes", you just wouldn't use them for the conversions. but you've ignored that advice a thousand times. so i expect that you will ignore it once again, eh? -bowerbird

james said: > 1a ok, great, let's go that way... now... one big reason for this exercise, for me, has been developing online versions of some of these tools. that's good because: 1. online versions have appeal, especially for some people. 2. some people really believe this job can't be done online. 3. online versions are a complement to my offline versions. 4. i can withdraw an online version of an app if/when i want. that fourth point is important to me, because --as you have undoubtedly surmised -- there are some people here who've made me an enemy, and i see no need to give them my tools, at least not in the ongoing way which an offline app provides. so i can throw up an online app that proves my point clearly, and then jerk it down so my enemies can't actually _use_ it... having said all of that, though, there are some times when it's just a whole lot better to use an offline version of a tool. this is one of those times. (since otherwise we're just chewing bandwidth downloading scans to your machine that you _already_have_ sitting there. it's far easier -- and much faster -- to use the local copies.) so let's go backchannel now, james, and do this task offline. -bowerbird

james said: > Let's go with these as is for now sure, no problem. so, now you have to decide how to proceed. i see two routes. 1a. fix the names, using the "scrabble" script, and then do a global change to fix the incorrect ones, or 1b. fix the names using some other methodology, and then do the global change to fix the bad ones, or 2. go immediately to the following step, which is the page-by-page edit, where each instance of a bad name will be flagged individually and corrected individually... i've been thinking in terms of route 1, mostly route 1a -- as my focus is a methodology at the book-level -- and there are many reasons to think that _is_ the best. after all, why not do a global change? on the face of it, it would seem to be much more efficient, without doubt. but as i've looked at this, i'm not so sure of it any more. either way, you'll see each name at least once, to verify it. but once you've done that for a name which is _correct_, in the page-by-page process, it will be in the dictionary, so that'll be the end of it -- it will not get flagged again. so you end up dealing with a correct name only the once. an incorrect name is also fixed the first time you see it. and thus, if it only occurred _once_, which is typical, it'll take the same amount of time, whichever route you use. so the only words which will end up taking extra time will be (a) incorrect ones (b) which occur multiple times. correct words and singleton errors take the same time, no matter which route you go -- you look at 'em once... perhaps i need to see how many names occur only once. i'll go write that routine right after i send this. *** the other thing that i noticed is that many of the names occur on those family-tree pages, and thus if you check those pages, and all the names occurring on those pages, it might go faster than checking each name individually. considering that you did most of those pages manually, i can even mark your existing diacritics on those pages as "correct", which will give you a fairly big head start... that's another routine i'll go and write right after this... *** finally... it also might be the case that the whole "scrabble" step takes you extra time all by itself, as a separate process. in which case you'd want to opt for the page-by-page... _or_ it could be the case that it _saves_ you time, since you have an attentional focus on names with diacritics. i have found that attentional focus is a big time-saver. so... it could go either way... i haven't done the research to know which holds true... basically, it boils down to how you want to do it. :+) what do you think? -bowerbird

Thanks for illumuninating responses to my question.

(i'd jumped into the middle, so the first one i noticed was page 144.) > http://zenmagiclove.com/bhaga/bhaga-2edit.py?whatpage=144 might wanna check the _right_ side of the odd-numbered pages, too. (remember, in this editor program, you can click the image itself to advance to the next page, so it's a very big target and hard to miss.) *** but these will work nicely, as you saw above, and in the other demo: > http://zenmagiclove.com/bhaga/scrabble.py the uniformity of the scans also lets me straggle down some markers on the left side of the scan that help you hone in on the linenumber... the markers don't align perfectly with the lines, but they're a big help. -bowerbird

james said: > I have created page images 600 pixels wide using Scan Tailor and > the original much larger page scans done by the Internet Archive. you did great. but i screwed up. in two ways. first, i forgot to tell you to trim the margins to a tiny slice. second, i made a math error. the size we're aiming at is for the _width_ to fit into the screen(s) you will be using... that's _after_ the margin-trim. so these are too reduced. i'd have to blow up your images now, which is not good. it'd be much better for you to re-do what you did, since you will be downsizing the original larger-sized images. you'll see the reason for this when you look at the app i coded that lets you step through and check the names. > http://zenmagiclove.com/bhaga/scrabble.py it's not finished -- doesn't record your decisions yet -- but you will get the idea. for each word, the app shows the first 3 instances (with pagenumber and linenumber), along with the scan for the first appearance, to review... so if the diacritics are right, you click the "good" button. if not, you click the "bad" button. go ahead and try it... (since it doesn't record your data, you can click freely.) whether you will want to use this app or not is a choice that you can make after we discuss the various issues... you might decide to attack the tasks in a different way. i just wanted to show you one way that you _can_ do it. -bowerbird
