Proposal: Page markers for works-in-progress

Post by Smidge204 »

This proposal is for adding "page markers" to any chapters that are actively being worked on. The idea is to make it easier to correlate the translation with the original text, which will help with proofreading and discussion.

The markles are currently implemented as such:

=={{edit separation|Page ###}}==

(### can be anything). This creates a thin black line and a small "edit" link enabling someone to edit just a particular page worth of text. In other words, it's a slightly tweaked "section" tag that does not display a title.

Here's a screenshot:

Once the project is "complete" (When Oni protects the page from anonymous editing, it's probably safe to say it's "complete") then the markers will be replaced with HTML style comments. This gets rid of the lines but keeps the page data.

I would like to add this to the Format/Style guideline as well, since it has vast potential to streamline the editing process.

+1 :wink:

editing a plain 180k of pure text to correct one sentence in the middle of in the page is really a pain :evil:

plus, some (old) browsers are known to have problem when editing 32k+ of text
