Revision as of 12:49, 9 August 2008

All pages of the Phoenix book from the old website have been converted to this one. There remains only to transcribe the remaining pages from the book itself. Using a script is no longer necessary.

Notes

  • Tables in the body of an entry will require hand-editing. Current solution: split the entry into three parts, use PhoenixEntry for the first and last, and explicitly code the table in the middle one. First example: a signature on page 11.
  • Footnotes may contain preformatted text, which cannot be passed into the PhoenixFootnote template for some reason. Current solution: explicitly code the footnote without using the template, but using <span>, <font>, <sup>, and text. First example: a footnote on page 25.
  • I have replaced two-column footnotes with one-column ones. This could be undone if we find a convenient way to handle two columns. Tables cannot be passed into the PhoenixFootnote template, probably because the "|" character used as a delimiter for a table interferes with the same character used as a delimiter in the template. Current solution: explicitly code a two-column footnote using a table, <span>, <font>, <sup>, and text.
  • Using the "|" character in diagrams does not work, interfering with the same character used as a delimiter in templates. I substituted the string "&#124;" instead. That works, but drawing the diagram becomes more difficult. First example: a diagram on page 15.
