With all your help I managed to get my submission, <i>A Study Of The Bhagavata Purana Or Esoteric Hinduism</i> into pretty good shape.  This is the latest:<div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://epubmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20120406103034/">http://epubmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20120406103034/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The book is such a big and complex project that rather than just inflict the whole thing on some unfortunate white washer I&#39;d like to get some comments from anyone willing to give it a quick look first.  I expect that the way I handled family trees (and this book has many) will be controversial.  If I get a consensus that the book doesn&#39;t suck (or if I don&#39;t get any feedback at all) I&#39;ll submit it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would be especially interested in Bowerbird&#39;s opinion on this.  No, really.</div><div><br></div><div>Bowerbird gave me some good advice early on with this book, and while I did not take all of it it did lead me to try RST, which I am convinced saved me a ton of work.  I like RST better than the ZML that he had originally suggested.  My reason is that while ZML documents look like they aren&#39;t marked up at all, that is not necessarily an advantage.  For instance, to make a heading in ZML it sounds like you have to insert some number of blank lines before the text.  Counting blank lines is something I&#39;d rather not deal with.  RST lets you underline the heading with something and not worry about blank lines before or after.  The RST converter deals with that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also learned that you don&#39;t re-wrap your text before proofing.  You let the converter deal with re-wrapping.  Next time I&#39;ll know better.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div>
