On Monday, updated CSS to take account of new deprecations in the latest version of SASS.
On Tuesday, started working on the latest tickets related to the PDF. First integrated a LEMDO Hornbooks logo per BGH’s ticket, but the ticket isn’t precise so it may have to move. The process of integrating a standard graphic that will be used in all our books is important though. Then I started looking at integrating the cover art PDFs which BGH has added to the portfolio folders. I have this working as a final step in the build, but it reveals that the cover art page sizes are much smaller than the PDF page size; the PDF page size itself does not seem to be a standard size either, so we need to make some decisions here. I ended up reconfiguring our paper size to 6 x 9, which is a standard, and the covers match better now.
On Wednesday, dug into a ticket on the display issue for the DRE anthology and (I think) solved it; also put the Hornbooks logo image in the right place after more info from BGH, and closed a couple of other tickets.
On Thursday, raised a couple more PDF-related tickets on request from BGH, and worked through a few diagnostics errors, then reworked a bit of my build process explanation. Then gave my presentation to the new team members, and worked on a build break.
On Friday, worked on a bunch of different tickets, cleaning up issues with trailing punctuation, dependence on the TEI server, and handling of deeply-nested quote elements.
