Hi

Proof-reading: a little wish

I've used koreader to proofread two full books, a big and a smaller one.

As I've been advised, I used the "highlight" function coupled with the "booktitle".lua file written in the history folder. In this file, each highlighted sentence is given this way (top left here being the page number):

Code:

[217] = {
			[1] = {
				["datetime"] = "2014-08-14 10:01:37",
				["drawer"] = "lighten",
				["pos0"] = "/body/DocFragment[6]/body/p[130]/text().827",
				["pos1"] = "/body/DocFragment[6]/body/p[130]/text().860",
				["text"] = "sans peine le_nom de ces victimes"
			}
		},

This tool is very handy. We can quickly and conveniently highlight a sentence (or part of a...) and take note of it.

I think however it could be improved if the sentences were not mixed and were written in strict chronological order, one after another. Now they are mixed haphazardy.

Also, I have the feeling that this tool is not strong enough and can easily lose some highlighted sentences even with careful use. If it kept an incremental counter of these highlighted sentences, we could check if everything is OK instead of being suspicious...

The pos0 and pos1 elements are not really very useful... but we are not obliged to look at them
