...And all these little problems (text ragged right or not? non breaking space, so so drop caps...) raise the question of the autonomy of digital formats.
Are we still in the wake of Gutenberg or in the wake of medias with reflowing formats? And these medias can they, by themselves, have formats of their own? Is it necessary to always just copy paper books, rather than trying to create something new, more adapted to the "digital material"?
If the printing press (see the old but still interesting 1979 book of E.Eisenstein) has had a strong effect in changing mentalities, can it be true of digital media?
I know I know! Besides being pedantic, these questions are probably for another post.
