/* Close up spaces */

Wilcynic, please close up spaces. No page is really "proofread" when you look at "edit" and see the text is scattered. I know the page appears fine but when going into "edit" you will see many spaces that have to be closed up before it is truly proofread and can be validated. This is what we call the page being "formatted". I mean only to help when I see this. I have been here about 6 years. Place the cursor inside the editing area and press control+alt+x keys at the same time. If your editor is working properly then all scattered words will format to paragraphs. Kind regards, —Maury (talk) 09:11, 29 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Maury, but either I'm doing something wrong, or what you're telling me to do doesn't work on a Chromebook. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what the outcome is supposed to be. We're talking about the word "political" on page 35 of the book, for example, right? And the key combination should put it in-line, like the other words? Crtl+Alt+X doesn't fix that for me.

 * Apologies for asking, but what "spaces" does Maury referring to? As far as proofreading goes, the page is perfect including the joining of hyphenated words. As for ctrl-alt-x, it is not a standard Wikisource keyboard command, but is defined in Maury's common.js and linked to Pathoschild's editing tools. Other's don't have this. Also, it should be checked how old this tool is, and whether it was superceded by any updates & modifications. — Ineuw talk 18:46, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

You do nice work. :-) Do feel qualified to mark page status as proofread. By the way, in that work I have noticed cases that there are some OCR errors of "hte" rather than "the".  — billinghurst  sDrewth  14:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
