Transformations

  • Removed the Project Gutenberg legal wrapper and the work-specific excluded matter recorded in the source manifest.
  • Preserved source wording, spelling, punctuation, order, and plain-text emphasis markers.
  • Normalised mechanical whitespace and line wrapping, while preserving diagrams and tables verbatim.
  • Added semantic section files, stable routes, source-fragment links, and deterministic anchors.
  • Inherited the Project Gutenberg transcription and its documented editorial corrections.
  • Converted bracket-number note markers and definitions into stable section-local Markdown footnotes.
