Jim, the material below describes the scanset naming standard used by PG. For an example, go to http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/25896, click on the Base Directory link at the bottom of the book's catalog info, above the actual files. You should see a 25896-page-images folder. Click on it to see the actual files. Al Basic format: The prefix for the cover pages is: "c". The prefix for the roman pages is: "f". The prefix for the arabic pages is: "p". *** For blank pages there should be no file and the page number should be skipped. Optionally an image saying: "This page is blank in the original." may be inserted. *** Example of file naming: front cover c0001.png back cover c0002.png spine c0003.png i title page f0001.png ii title verso f0002.png iii dedication f0003.png iv is blank v contents f0005.png page 1 p0001.png page 2 p0002.png image on page 2 p0002-image1.png image on page 2 p0002-image2.png page 3 p0003.png page 4 is blank page 5 p0005.png ... ... page 9999 p9999.png ----- Original Message ----- From: James Adcock To: 'Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion' Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 11:35 AM Subject: [gutvol-d] Re: save those pagenumber references
ok, on the "good news" front, it appears that rfrank has finally decided to start naming his files more wisely, so big respect to the people who steered in that direction.
How do you propose to deal with texts that have a large number of "prefix" pages numbered something like "iii" for example? How do you propose to deal with texts that have a large number of "prefix" pages which are not numbered at all? How do you propose to deal with texts where the numbering scheme was screwed up in the original text? How do you propose to deal with texts which do not count illustration pages in their numbering scheme? Etc. Again, it's great to have a simple system that works except when it doesn't work in which case it's not so simple anymore. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
