The focus of this document is Chinese composition and will not discuss cover glyph variations in detail

maybe say

The focus of this document is Chinese composition and it will not cover glyph variations in detail

I missed out the word "discuss" when deleting. Fixed.

did you add the word 'it' too ?

ah, i see you didn't. No big deal, just a suggestion. Ignore if you want.

The comma changes the meaning. Previously it implied that spacing is used only for lines in a poem that have a small number of characters. Now it implies that, because lines in poems have a small number of characters in general spacing is applied liberally to lines in poems. Which is correct?

The first interpretation is correct. Changed it to read "used for poetry with lines of only a few characters"

how about: used in poetry for lines which have only a few characters

Small nit: i think 'in' is correct if we are referring to headings of articles. 'Of' in 'in headings of magazines' sounds like the translation should have been 'of magazine titles', ie. the name of the magazine. Just a suggestion. Ignore if you wish.

Hmm, this one went a bit haywire.
'for its page format' -> 'for their page format'
'some further design effort based will be' -> 'some further design effort will be'

Another missed deletion. Sorry about that. Fixed.

letterpress printing → movable type?

Not too sure about this one. Re-read the Chinese version again and came up with this:
"From the advent of moveable type, each character was set to be flush with one another without any gaps, regardless of vertical or horizontal writing mode. However back then, several sizes of the original pattern of a letter were required to create matrices,"

I apologise but my latest commit to address #141 ended up in this pull request as well. Please let me know if I need to make further changes before this pull request can be accepted.

ethantw · 2017-04-03T05:02:29Z

@huijing: If it’s possible, I suggest you cherry-pick the commit of the table format adjustments to another branch, and use force push to recover this PR to its previous state. So we can merge this pull request ASAP.

huijing · 2017-04-03T06:59:22Z

@ethantw Ok, I've done that. The table format adjustments have been moved to another branch.
