1. I have it on good authority that using {{smaller}} is probably best when you are dealing with ALL CAPS, so I changed all smallcaps to {{smaller}} for all FABLE title entries. Further, to quote cygnis insignis: "I recommend using templates, not a mix, wherever possible; for example, our font sizing no longer accords with scaling of html and css. When using "smallcaps", very often the start of new section, one 'test' is 'does it matter that it will copy/paste as lower case'... I think the guideline might be: If there is a mix of case in the string of letters use smallcaps, if they are all upper case use smaller... I once applied 'small caps' to AD in the text, but someone pointed out this would sometimes render as "ad", so I make the 'capitals smaller' instead."
2. Also, with the exception of the first couple pages, which I played around with, when you "print preview" pages in the mainspace for this text, the images are shown as being aligned-left... Is there a better way to center the image for printing purposes than:

{{c|[[File:Fables of Florian1.jpg|350px]]}}

@Londonjackbooks: Here's a relatively clean cover, if you want it. Pretty lettering. commons:File:Florian - The Fables, 1888 cover1.jpgOutlier59 (talk) 15:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
