 * Publisher: Individual publishers may have a Author page. (Create as for an author, above). Publishing companies have portals on Wikisource.

Elegy I Comparative text

and I would like to have the WB book linked to original scan to have that connection to the original text and also to enable proofreading errors to be corrected when they are found. So, looking like a transcluded WS text with links to the pagescans e.g. [13]. Is there a way to do this at WB as it is done for the transcluded WS book?

I would like to work on trying different ways to have the annotations linked to the original text/WB book/transcluded WS text.
