README



This folder contains the files for your Louisiana Anthology project.




You can work on the files in Dropbox, and they will update on the computers in your group.  Just be careful when you work on them at the same time, so you don't wind up with conflicted copies.





Edit using a plain text editor or one of the editors I recommended in the links.  DO NOT USE WORD!  It messes up the file.





These files and folders are all in a specific relationship.  If you move the file out of the directory, the formatting will mess up. 






Your job is to work on the file

		chopin--in_sabine.html 





Any image files you add will go into the folder

		chopin--in_sabine_files







The model for your file is 

		cable--posson_jone.html





Remove the formatting at the beginning and end of your file, and replace it with the beginning and end of the Posson Jone file.



Special characters require coding.  While you read 

	Grégoire


the actual code in the editor is

	Grégoire


If you don't enter the special code é, but use the é instead, horrible things can happen to your web site.
Welcome to the Matrix.


Fortunately, your file already has the codes in place, so you shouldn't have to insert them.  Be careful that whatever editor you use doesn't change them to the characters you see in a browser, or what you get in the browser may be jibberish.  





Use the .pdf to proofread--it's like a Xerox copy of the original text.


Use footnotes for anything that needs explanation or translation.  We've had pretty good luck using Google translate.

Use the following format for footnotes.  Mark the text in the body with this code:


<span id="CsabineF01"></span><a href="#CsabineN01">Capuchin.</a>





And use this for the footnote.  Notice that the 'F' and 'N' have exchanged places.  Match the number for the notes.  If you notice that you need to put a number between two other numbers, don't renumber the whole list; just put a half number between.

		01
		02

oops, missed one

		01
		01a
		02


    <ol>
      <li><span id="CsabineN01"></span><a href="#CsabineF01">Capuchin.</a>
        A Catholic friar.</li>


    </ol>






Also, your particular file has a bunch of 

		<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 

codes that need to be removed from the body.  Also remove the </font> close code.  What were they thinking?  Put that kind of thing in your css; then you can change it for your whole site at once.






You may or may not need to add images to the file.  I have included two ways to do so, one with a caption and one without.



Let me know if you have any questions.  I'll peak back at the files occasionally to see how you're doing.
