To Anton 3-8-22

Dear Anton:

The purpose of this page is get some answers from you before I finalize the RFP.

Here is what I am thinking. We are not succeeding figuring out - satisfactorily - how to "translate" the formatting of my written work in MS Word to our new Wiki site using the Visual Editor. The issue is not sentences and paragraphs. They cut-and-paste just fine. The issues are (1) formatting six levels of headings, (2) their numbering, and (3) indentation. I am willing to give-up on the indentation issue. So, that's off the table. Everything will be left-justified.

But what about formatting the six headings and their numbering? Here are my thoughts:

Instead of me beginning with MS Word when establishing a standard for headings and numbering, I should begin with what the Visual Editor can do and then use that as my standard when working in MS Word. (For me to redefine the headings in a 500-page book in MS Word, for example, will be a matter of pushing a few buttons.)

Another thought: After my copyeditor gets finished reviewing my manuscript for grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, etc., the graphic artist lady is going to make the pages "pretty." Maybe she does not like the Georgia font, for example. You and I are not in control of the graphic artist aspects when it comes to physical books. You and I only need focus on the online version of my and other authors' books. We need to settle on (1) formatting the six headings and (2) their numbering in Visual Editor.

Immediately below is an example of the wiki standard formatting in the Visual Editor as it stands right now. My (A) comments and (B) questions are below after the example.

(A) COMMENTS TO ANTON:

You do not have to actually do these things right now. Doing them will be one of the benchmarks for my Upwork assignment to you. For your information (FYI), below are my preferred titles I want to see when I click the drop down menu. Instead of "Page Title," I want to see "Book Part." Instead of "Heading," I want to see "Chapter." Instead of "Sub Heading 1," I want to see "Chapter Part," and so on. See below. My questions for you are at the very bottom.

Book Part

This is a paragraph.

This leads to a footnote.

Chapter

This is a paragraph.

Chapter Part

This is a paragraph.

(B) QUESTIONS FOR ANTON:

Note I have put in extra lines just to create visual space.

1. As I described above, can you you change the titles and their sequence that appear in the drop down menu in Visual Editor?
2. .
4. Since we cannot use indents to make the headings stand out one from the other, what can we do?
5. .
   1. Can you change the font size of the headings with Heading 1 having the largest font and Heading 6 having the smallest?
   2. .
   4. Can some headings be in bold font?
   5. .
   7. Can you change the underlining? For example, right now Book Part has an vague underline across the page. Chapter has an even softer underline across the page I can hardly see.
   8. .
      1. Can the lines be thicker?
      2. .
      5. Can there be single, double and triple underlining across the page?
      6. .
      9. Can some underlines across the page be a dashed line?
      10. .
      13. Can some headings be underlined just under the words - not across the page?
      14. .
      17. I asked earlier about different colors and you said "yes." If we can do the things I just listed, I am thinking bold black, black, and several shades of gray might be best rather than colors like blue, green, yellow, etc.
      18. .
6. About the numbering of Headings: You have turned off the automatic numbering. Thank you. I have discovered that whatever numbering scheme I use in MS Word those numbers simply are part of the cut-and-paste process. They appear in MediaWiki just fine and show up in the Table of Contents.
7. .
10. About Table of Contents: What I just said about the numbering of headings raises a question. If I pasted, let's say, a 500-page book on one Wiki page, the numbering scheme will work from the first to last page of the book. The headings will appear properly in the Table of Contents that presently is shown in the right hand column when you toggle the toggle button. But is that a good idea? To have so much content on one wiki page?
11. .
12. Final Question: When I create lists of words in Column C, can the lines be single spaced? In other words, when I enter a "carriage return," I want the next line to be immediately below the first line.
14. The End
