of course not. that file doesn't have styled text.
That pretty much shoots your claim that your process takes the plain text files from PG and converts them without no work at all. And -- moreover -- you lied. The Alice at PG *has* styled text. Isn't your tool capable of interpreting CAPITALIZED TEXT as hilighting?
you went and created a version that identified the text in italics, but didn't share it with people. now it will be shared.
You lied again: this has been shared online since April 2002: http://www.gnutenberg.de There's also the 'Looking glass' if you want to steal some more.
but surely you don't think you're the only person in the whole world who has styled that text, do you?
But I'm the only person who has placed the illustrations exactly that way.
i won't be posting any source-code, so don't hold your breath.
If you don't want to share in the first place, then why are you boring us with your stupid format at all? Why should we care? Are you just hyping yourself for the sake of yourself? Do you really need that? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
