The First Written Constitution by Muhammad Hamidullah was published in 1941 in Lahore, then British India. The copyright of that time and place was the Indian Copyright Act 1914. Is that the right law to look into, or would later laws trump it? Eievie (talk) 00:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Cesura

The reason that {{gap}} is now used is that it is a more recent and more flexible formatting template. {{cesura}} is an older template that has not been updated, and is seldom used any more. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh. I thought {{cesura}} was more specific about it's usage, so I just assumed it was better. Eievie (talk) 23:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

It is more specific, but it's very specific, requiring a lang block template, specified font, and special formatting to produce a gap of the right size. The {{gap}} template works in any font style. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I'll ask around and see if we can't get the template modernized and made adjustable locally to specific works using CSS. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:43, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
