Status: Complete(?) (04.29.13 was last revision)

EPUB: https://mega.co.nz/#!j9QAXLYA!NdK_Nib2Mpq4ZZ28ZeFwsBdiMfZx-eI73bqD5D4JhZc

The 04.29.13 revision fixed up hundreds more typos/code mistakes, cleaned up some worthless code, and compressed images (saving 42 KBs).

    Side Notes:
    • Should some of the tables be converted to HTML instead of images?
      • This would save on some space, and would leave formatting up to the epub reader. On my Nook some of the tables are very small and hard to read.
    • First letter of each chapter has:
      • I believe a much better way to do this would be to create a larger font class and apply that (sort of like what is done already in the other ebooks with Dropcap).
    • Should the "ind" class just be added into , instead of having (almost) every
      be class "ind"?
      • You can still override this with any special needs ("noind")
    • Inline formatting isn't very good practice.
      • For example:


        Why not create a class in the stylesheet called "chaptertitle" with the attributes of class "right" and "margin-top:30px"?
      • Another example:


        This is after almost every single chapter title (or subchapter title) in the first paragraph. Why not create a "firstparagraph" class, which includes margin-top:20px as an attribute?
        Or "marginfifty", "margintwenty", "marginthirty" class (with margin-top: ##px)?

        This can then be used multiple times throughout the document, and be able to be changed in just the stylesheet, instead of throughout the entire document.
