Thanks! I am definitely going to get on my computer and print this to PDF for future reference. But I feel sort of bad that you typed all that out, as I've already gotten the curly quotes dealt with, finished that several days ago. But I picked up a zillion other small errors in the process.
Currently getting the italics in and also making sure paragraphs are correct. I've also created a custom spelling dictionary for this book.
The Gutenberg text is much more of a trainwreck than I'd initially thought. I've found missing punctuation, including some of the quotes, but also em-dashes, hyphens, and some entire words! And a great deal of paragraph problems! Oh, and accented characters missing as well.
This text is a case of: "The eyes of the one outweigh/outproofread the eyes of the many." 😁
It's also a case of the right book met the right person, as I've just been delighted by it! Enough so that I'm giving "Little Women" a re-read.
