I've recently started reading Project Gutenberg works in epub format. Here and there I've noticed problems in markup[1]. I would like to correct these, but the FAQ just talks about correcting typographical errors. How can I help? [1] For instance in Aesop's Fables, there are often links to a fable found just before the fable's actual title. -- David Griffith dave@661.org
PG has 24 titles containing "Aesop" and "Fables". Which particular one are you talking about? (Give its etext number.) PG's epubs are derived from an underlying HTML file, if there is one, or (I think) from the underlying text file(s), if there's no HTML version. If there's a problem with the epub, there might also be a problem with the HTML. Al

The number for the offending work is pg11339. -- David Griffith dave@661.org
That particular etext (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11339) has something like 300 links in its Contents. Which ones work the way you say they work? (You don't need to list them all--just give 3-4 examples so I know what to look for.) Have you checked that the links work properly in the HTML version at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/11339/11339-h/11339-h.htm?
