@Londonjackbooks: I saw your change to p. 148. I've realized that the basic "prep" as you call it is something I can kind of do in my sleep, now that I've gotten pretty comfortable with the regex script...so I'll try to do some of those, and maybe make the work of actual proofreading a bit easier by separating it from these more formulaic tasks.

I'm curious about your addition of "1em" to {{gap}}, since I think it's a change from how you initially told me you like to use the template. If I recall correctly, you said if there's only one width of gap in a poem, you prefer to just use it without specifying the width...even if it means a 2em space where it's more like 1em in the original. Is this the part where @EncycloPetey: had a suggestion? Should we be going through the rest of the book to match to this style? Let me know if so, if you'd like, as I can probably come up with something in AWB to take care of it. -Pete (talk) 22:34, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Peteforsyth:I think I made the decision for 1em gap early on in the piece. More for aesthetics. To me, it's not really an indentation like in a poem, but more like the beginning of a paragraph, which is none too gap-py. But I am no play expert. EP did not comment on that aspect, merely the div formatting (in header/footer), float-right for stage direction, and use of Layout 2 in the Main (see Azlea). Using block centering was posing formatting 'problems' with other aspects of play formatting, and I needed a more elegant solution. I thought EP's solution fit the bill. What do you think?
