Convert <tb>, Italic, Bold, and Smallcap (10 min.)

Convert <tb> Thought Break

Menu Txt > Convert <tb> to asterisk break which converts all <tb> to five spaced asterisks in one step.

Convert Italics

Menu Txt > Convert Italics which converts italics markup is replaced with underscores.

Convert bold

Mark bold with = as it is most common. PPCOMP will not throw warnings when comparing with HTML.

  • Select Txt > Convert Bold

Convert SMALL CAPS.

Uppercase selected small-cap, which foofers have changed to <sc>Title-Cased-Text</sc>.

PG guidelines

  • Where only an opening word or phrase of a section is small-capped, it should be left as title case.
  • Some works have whole headings small-cap; some have used small-cap as a means of emphasis. These should be uppercased in the text.

Menu Txt > Manually Convert Small Caps Markup... which opens up a Search and Replace window.

Select preferred change which are leave unchanged, upper case text, or surround text with "+".

Fix ASCII Tables (0-? hr.)

Save to version 21

  • Use Search>Find Block Markup
    • Tear off the menu
    • Step through block and mark them up as appropriate
      • /P for Poems so it keeps indent
      • /F for front matter to center, perhaps not centered in the end
      • /L for unordered list
      • /X no rewrap, no indent
      • Compare to page image; reformat to best convey author intent.
      • For complex tables, use Table Special Effects to reformat.
  • For TOC and TOI
    • Make sure to indent or you violate the rules
    • Select the entire TOC, then use TXT>Right-Align Numbers in Selection to have the page numbers align on the right
    • The point of this is to hint to some future text user to not re-wrap the lines
    • If too wide, wrap to 72 and have following line indented further to making a hanging paragraph

Save the file to version 22 if any unsaved changes.
