Guiguts wasn't designed to convert existing texts. It's purpose is to help a DP PPer turn the output of the DP rounds into the final product seen on PG. In this case, the DP text for a piece of poetry would have had the poetry wrapped in poetry markers, signifying to Guiguts that it had to treat the block of text as non-wrappable poetry, and not just a straight paragraph of prose.
I see. I was told the output of DP was text and the html generated from it.
Now I gather DP uses some sort of proprietary internal markup and can produce HTML without having to produce TXT? Am I right?
I'm also very interested in the answer to this question - and assuming the answer is "Yes, DP has an internal format that is used before the final .txt is rendered to PG", my follow-up question becomes "How can I get access to the ebooks in this 'internal markup' format?" I'm hoping dearly that the answer isn't "We throw it away when we're done..."
It's archived when the project is posted to PG. It won't have the final corrections and adjustments from the PP stage. You can download a concatenated text file at any point in the process, until the project is archived. R C
