@ChristusRex: Will you definitely be able to get Tome 2 of the OT? When do you think it will be ready by? Is there an address from which I can download it? DavidPorter65 (talk) 04:21, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
@DavidPorter65: It'll be up by tomorrow. ChristusRex (talk) 00:06, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
@ChristusRex: Two questions before I jump in. 1) where I had footnotes previously using <ref>, do you prefer these as margin notes, as the text shows? (I do). 2) Are you happy with the verse numbers, or do you prefer them as they are marked in the text? (I slightly prefer {{{{verse}}}}, but open to change on this) DavidPorter65 (talk) 05:45, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
@DavidPorter65: I definitely prefer {{{{verse}}}} to keep consistency with the other bibles on here. And I also prefer (a), (b), *, etc. as footnotes, unless I'm missing an advantage of keeping them in the margins. The margins can get pretty crowded sometimes and we don't have the problem of saving space like the original printers did, I suppose. ChristusRex (talk) 10:24, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
@ChristusRex: I'm getting tired of these margin notes. They sure are a lot of extra work. For the text, I can paste it in from other OCR scans I have which are accurate enough. But the margin notes, they need to be done by hand. They would have been a great help in a printed book for finding things. In an electronic format, I'm sure they're so helpful compared to searching. And there's the typesetting difficulties. How important do you think they are? DavidPorter65 (talk) 19:53, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
@DavidPorter65: I agree, they don't really serve much purpose... Maybe we can try bringing over only the notes that are meant to add new information? No need to bother with the ones giving a summary of the page's content. ChristusRex (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
@DavidPorter65: Also, I don't know what OCR source you are using but I'm using this transcript which has already been professionally retyped and proofread entirely. It's only got half of the whole text but I'm in the process of acquiring the rest of it. ChristusRex (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
@ChristusRex, @DavidPorter65: Despite the IA ID, 1610A.d.DouayOldTestament1582A.d.RheimsNewTestament_176 seems to be the same edition of the one in this transcription project. Just letting you know if you want to use a DJVU file with an OCR layer. -Einstein95 (talk) 07:15, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
- I'm working on Job. I'm using {{hi}} (hanging indent) for the chapter introductions, but I didn't do it in those first 11 chapters of Genesis. I was hoping you could keep that in mind if you do some more validation of those pages, perhaps you would care to add it in.
- I'm starting to wish I had replaced "u" with "v", (i.e. in words live giue, heauen) and vice versa (words like vp and vnderstand). What's your opinion on that? I'm thinking about the final transclusion, I'd like it to be a nice, readable resource that hopefully people might use.
DavidPorter65 (talk) 19:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
@DavidPorter65: I'll look into adding the indentation as you described it. My preference would be to keep the archaic spelling intact, since I think there is value in preserving the text in it's original form. It might be impractical for everyday use, but keep in mind the text can later be updated to contemporary English using the search-and-replace function in any word processor.

@ChristusRex:You're right. I must have been feeling a little tired when writing this! DavidPorter65 (talk) 04:27, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
