I'll note a couple of things before you expend any more effort on Austen's work. It is likely that the 'second-hand transcript' you are working on will eventually be replaced by one based on a scans of an original copy, eg. Love and Freindship and other early works. The bogus formatting, and any errors, can be fixed when it is. If you are interested in contributing to a verifiable transcript, I would be more than happy to set it up and help. Secondly, using straight quotes is the standard practice, curly quotes are deprecated for good reasons. CYGNIS INSIGNIS 08:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'll take out the curly quotes right now. I'll also limit my changes on that book to finishing changing the audio source from Librivox. Ian Rastall (talk) 08:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Also, I would be happy for the help with a verifiable transcript. Ian Rastall (talk) 08:55, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
