Continuing paragraph[edit]
{{Helpme}}
I am trying to solve a paragraph continuation issue described at Page talk:Weird Tales v01n01 (1923-03).djvu/187, can you please take a look? Klaufir216 (talk) 08:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Between each use of
<pages … />you will always get a paragraph break. There are a couple of ways one could approach this, but the most straightforward is probably to wrap each bit of text belonging to this story in section markup with the same section name in the Page: namespace, and then transclude all of them with a single call like this:<pages index="Weird Tales v01n01 (1923-03).djvu" include="60-65,185,187-189,191-192" onlysection="The Ghost Guard" />. --Xover (talk) 10:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)- I have just tired this. First I have renamed all the previous sections to have a single name, and then tried the syntax you posted: it resulted in only the first pages of the sections being included. I need some help, can you suggest what I did wrong? Klaufir216 (talk) 10:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have merged the first two sections under the same name "The Ghost Guard1" and tested the syntax proposed by you at the sandbox: https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Sandbox&oldid=14137311 Klaufir216 (talk) 11:34, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I figured I have to wrap every page in a section when using onlysection. Thanks a lot for the help! Klaufir216 (talk) 11:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Dashes[edit]
Hello again,
I noticed you put the wrong dashes in some places. There are three kind of dashes: - (hyphen), – (en dash), and — (em dash). For longer dashes, like when a name is shortened like B———, use {{bar}} or {{longdash}}. Depending on what does the OCR, it may recognize em dashes, put them as simple hyphens, multiple hyphens, or an en dash. Most of the time, when you see some variation of a horizontal line, you need to check the page to see which one was used and so which one needs to be used (more info there, in 7.) Problem sometimes also is that in the editing window, due to the same-size letters, an en and em dash are virtually indistinguishable, so you need to preview. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 15:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have realized I was placing en dashes instead of em dashes at many places. Will keep in mind to use the right one. Klaufir216 (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, we've all learned through trial and error. Still another thing, though, about {{ppoem}}'s |start= and |end=. They should be nothing when there is nothing before, for example for a one-page poem, there would be neither of them. follow is for when a stanza continues over a page break, and then the first page has end=follow and the other has start=follow. stanza is for when there is a stanza break on a page break, and then again the first ppoem's end must be the same as the second ppoem's start. You might already know this, but it's better to be told twice than not at all. Regards, — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 16:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
