Just as a quick aside ... tidy often gets run ... but just to check the validity of the HTML.  The "tidy" code is not getting posted.  At least, I've never had it happen to me or get reported to me that it happened.

On one of my previous HTML submissions a<br />WW said he had run tidy on it. Obviously the intent is to allow future<br />DP'ers or PG'ers who have figured out a better scheme, TEI Lite or whatever<br />(hypothetical), to make another DP pass or solo on the effort by extracting<br />the already "corrected" txt matched against the original OCR rather than<br />having to start again "from scratch."  And again pgdiff can extract<br />linebreak info given a txt which has lost linebreaks and an OCR that retains<br />them, but, its still cleaner and easier not to have lost them in the first<br />place.<br /><br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />gutvol-d mailing list<br /><a class="parsedEmail" href="mailto:gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org" target="_blank">gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org</a><br /><a class="parsedLink" href="http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d" target="_blank">http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d</a><br /></blockquote>
