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.
