Copy-Edit Categories

1. To be entered by O'Reilly

  • punctuation, including use of em dashes
  • 'like' -> 'such as'
  • 'which' -> 'that'
  • 'while' -> 'whereas'
  • alternatives to 'below', 'above'
  • capitalization of titles and figure legends

2. To be entered by Authors

??

3. No Change

  • boldface text retained for new and important terms
  • constant width retained for program names, menu names, filenames, etc

4. To be discussed

  • Retain long captions
  • Don't double-quote emphasized text inside captions, but set them in roman. (Why would emphasis show up as italic inside plain text, and double-quoted inside a caption?)

5. Other

Steven mentioned:

  • splitting a sentence-final example off into a new verb-less sentence.

Not sure what the issue is here.
