If there is a hand-made HTML, I generally use that. Otherwise I choose the plain text version (in utf8 or latin1 encoding if available).

- Do you have a standard CSS file that you use? Mind sharing it?
|
Sort of. I copy a CSS from one of my most recent projects (or another book from the same "series") and then add or remove things are needed. The CSS files I use can be found in any of the books I've uploaded (e.g.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer).

vim, but I'm a nitpicker.

- How hard do you work on collecting, editing, enhancing images?
|
I try to find a good scan in
The Internet Archive, download the raw image files, rotate and crop the illustrations, remove the speckles and make sure the background is pure white (for black and white illustrations). Then I resize all illustrations by the same factor.

- Do you use images of an original to work from?

Sometimes. If I don't find a good scan online and I have an original I can scan.
