Dear all,
I am planning to modify the <pages> tag, so that content from pages marked as
"empty" (quality0) will either not be transcluded at all, or will be transcluded
without page number, and without appending a newline character.
The main reason for this change is to improve the support for multilingual books.
Currently, the <pages> tag creates an empty paragraph for each empty page that is in
its list ; this means that pages with text in other languages, typically rendered with
{{iwpage}}, do have a side effect.
This side effect can be observed here :
http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Satire_1_(Horace,_Raoul)
In this example, pages in latin generate an empty paragraph, which is visible in the
transclusion ; the line spacing is too large on each page break.
Before I proceed with this change, I would like to know if it could have unexpected
consequences. Please let me know if you know texts or wikis that use quality0 in an
unintended way (besides de.ws).
Thomas
