The goal: optimized editions of Ulysses on every ebook platform
The text: start with 1922, fix the typos, avoid controversies by hewing to 1922 (or to current consensus when it's uncontroversial)
The platforms:
HTML plus CSS: using the simplest possible CSS classes, get the basic layout right, so others can tweak it easily; a single file c2Mb, ampersanded special characters
(recent draft: https://sites.google.com/site/ulyssestext/1922r.html )
epub: break out chapters
markdown: asterisks for italics, ledger-table, minimal indents using nbsp?
gitbook: add back br, center, and...?
pdf: two versions, one small, one pretty
kindle: ?
Pagination: not normally visible (too intrusive), maybe hidden 1922 pagination plus Gabler
Annotations: eventually support multiple-file (chapters) with interlinear notes?
Conversions:
gitbook exports simplified epub, pdf, and mobi
Calibre for Windows does conversions from epub
