Possibility of using class prose

Hi Ricardo. Something that may be worth considering with formatting children's literature, is the use of one of our local styles prose. You might be interested to wrap the body text in something like this <div class=prose>b bo bod body text</div> and then see if that makes the text easier to read with the shorter paragraphs. Best of luck, nice text. -- billinghurst (talk) 04:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Example provided properly.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Very welcome Ricardo. There is a bit of a learning curve, though there is a good supportive community. Scans? Neat, though I would suggest not to PDF as we prefer the DjVu format (more flexible), and we explain that at Help:DjVu files. Also means that we can upload it to Commons:Special:Upload and can play directly. If you need help or something done, or to be shown how the first time, that is okay.
