 The `novel` document class is intended for popular fiction books,
 printed to paper: murder mystery, historical romance, etc.
-
 Special attention to the needs of print-on-demand.
 
-Site github.com/rallg/novel is the canonical project page for the
-Novel document class, as seen in TeXlive and at CTAN. It is now
-in version 1.83, November 2023. Only change from 1.82 is a minor typo.
+Due to changes in print technology over the years, much of `novel` code
+is now unnecessary. Also, it offers many rarely-used features that bloat
+the code and its documentation. If you have not already used `novel`,
+the simpler `novelette` document class might be better for your
+purpose. Expected 2024.
 
-Also see the `novelette` document class, by the same developer.
-It is much simpler, yet does what it needs to do. Expected in
-late November, 2023. Site github.com/rallg/novelette but not yet
-at CTAN, since it is still Alpha stage.

+<p>This folder contains items that may be helpful, but are not essential to operation of the <i>novel</i> document class. Version 1.86.</p>
 
 <p>File <i>novel-example.tex</i> is a fake short novel. If you wish to compile it, place a copy in your user home folder (or other place where you have read/write privilege) and compile it there.</p>
 
-<p>File <i>novel-testsuite.tex</i> exercises the various capabilities of the document class. You can look at the code, and see how it compiles. You may also change settings, to see what they do. It requires files <i>novel-testimage.png</i>, <i>novel-testimage.jpg</i>, <i>novel-testscript.png</i>, and <i>novel-testscript.jpg</i>. If you wish to compile it, place a copy (along with images) in your user home folder (or other place where you have read/write privilege) and compile it there.</p>

-
-<p>File <i>CPmodified.otf</i> is not (normally) for use in TeX. I use it when editing my work in a word processor, prior to TeX markup. To use it, install the font in your operating system (not in TeX) where a word processor can find it. This font is nearly-monospaced, with exaggerated punctuation marks. I have found that punctuation errors are most frequently overlooked during editing, since they are so small in many fonts, and the spell-check software doesn't find the errors.</p>

+<p>IMPORTANT: The techniques described in these scripts, are rarely needed nowadays (late 2023).</p>
 <p>This zip archive contains Windows batch scripts, and Linux/OSX BASH scripts, for automatic image conversion.</p>
 <p>The scripts are meant to ensure that your use of images complies with commercial printing standards. In particular, they provide a method for converting color cover artwork to CMYK at 240% ink limit, in a PDF/X-1a:2001 file.</p>
 <p>Complete usage instructions are documented within the zip archive.</p>

-\end{ChapterStart}
-
-This tests the ChapterStart environment, plus \string\ChapterTitle, \string\ChapterSubtitle, \string\ChapterDeco, and \string\decoglyph.
-
-In the TeX document, you can change the height of the environment, the alignment of its components, the decoglyph, and so forth.
-
-The first paragraph will not be indented, but all following paragraphs will be indented.
-
-Since this is a recto (odd-numbered) page at right side, the default margins will be a little larger at left, where there is an allowance for binding gutter.
-
-Unless you change the head/foot style, you should see no heading. Arabic page number 1 should be at the bottom.

-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-This page tests the \string\charscale\space command, and \string\rotatebox. The combined effect is shown below:\par
-\vspace{1.5\nbs} % trial and error
-\charscale[2,3em,-4em]{\rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{Random Test Items}}
-\vspace{7.5\nbs} % trial and error
-
-Above, you should see the phrase Random Test Items in larger than normal text, tilted 45 degrees, nicely fitting between the text above and this text. Offset has been used, so it is not quite centered.
-
-If you change the font size or number of lines per page, then the tilted phrase might not fit nicely. That can be fixed by changing the amount of \string\vspace\space above and below the rotated text.
-
-The amount of \string\vspace\space is not calculated automatically. You have to determine it by trial and error (or do some math). The total amount of \string\vspace, top and bottom, must be an integer.
-
-If you use \string\rotatebox\space without \string\charscale, then it will create its own vertical gap. Unfortunately, the height of this gap is very difficult for you to calculate, so you would not be able to easily restore the line grid by adding some amount of \string\vspace. So, don't use \string\rotatebox\space without \string\charscale.
-
-\clearpage
-
-
-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-This page tests \string\FloatImage\space effects. Remember that \textit{novel} uses its own methods of placing images.
-
-There will be a gap before the image appears. In the tex code, find \string\vspace\space there, and change the space. At some point, the image will float to the top of the following page.
-
-\vspace{7\nbs}
-
-\FloatImage[ht]{novel-testimage.png}
-
-Above, the top of the image sits where the baseline of text would be. If the image fits where placed, then this paragraph comfortably clears the bottom of the image. If the gap is increased so that the image flats to the top of the next page, then this paragraph will be directly beneath the preceding paragraph.
-
-
-
-\clearpage
-
-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-This page tests \string\InlineImage\space effects. Note that the command also has a starred version. The difference: Unstarred, the width of the image is taken into account. Starred, the width of the image is ignored.
-
-\null
-
-\noindent\InlineImage*[0,\normalXheight]{novel-testimage.png}This paragraph is not indented. The starred command places an image, offset so that its top sits at the X-height of the text. The image underlies the following text. If you use this effect, then be sure that the image is much lighter, or the text will be hard to read.
-
-\null\null\null
-
-\noindent\InlineImage[0,b-\normaldescender]{novel-testimage.jpg}This paragraph is not indented. The unstarred command places an image, offset so that its bottom sits at the descender of the text. It was necessary to insert previous blank lines, or the image would overlie (and obscure) the preceding paragraph.
-
-\null\null
-
-\noindent\InlineImage[0,1.5em]{novel-testscript.png}This paragraph is not indented. The unstarred command places an image, offset so that it rises above the paragraph, and also descends beneath the following text. 
-
-\null\null
-
-In all of the above, the alignments will change, if you change the text size or lines per page.
-
-\clearpage
-
-
-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-This page tests \string\WrapImage. The command is written following the paragraph you are now reading.
-
-\WrapImage[r]{novel-testscript.jpg}
-
-The image will appear at right, with this text flowing around it. the first few lines will be at the left of the image. Then, as the paragraph continues, it eventually is restored to full text width, once it gets past the bottom of the image. Note that the top of the image is aligned to the X-height of the first line of text.
-

-
-\clearpage
-
-% NEXT 2 PAGES:
-
-This page, combined with the following page, test the detection mechanism for \string\scenebreak, \string\sceneline, and \string\scenestars.
-
-In the source document, there is \string\vspace\space following this paragraph. To detect the effects, vary the \string\vspace.
-
-% Change this to see the effects:
-\vspace{20\nbs} % originally 20\nbs
-
-Following this paragraph is the \string\scenestars\space command. It prints a few asterisks centered in a gap. It is one way to indicate that a scenbreak is present, when the break occurs at the very top or bottom of a page (because a blank line might not be noticed there).
-
-\scenestars
-
-If you change the above \string\vspace\space to 25\string\nbs, you will get a Warning about the line being too close to the bottom. Change to 28\string\nbs, and the Warning will say that it is too close to the top (of the following page. Note that \string\scenestars\space is allowed to be at the very bottom or very top, or somewhere in the middle of the page. The same applies to \string\sceneline.
-
-If you wish, you can always use \string\scenestars\space or \string\sceneline\space to indicate a scene break. But more common practice is to use a blank line, \string\scenebreak, except for those cases where you ``must'' use one of the others.
-
-\scenebreak
-
-Above this paragraph is \string\scenebreak, which appears as a blank line. A \string\scenebreak\space cannot be located close to the top or bottom of a page. Unlike \string\sceneline\space or \string\scenestars, you cannot place \string\scenebreak\space at the very top or bottom, either. So, changing the \string\vspace\space to any of 14\string\nbs\space through 17\string\nbs\space will generate a Warning.

-This page tests the footnote and endnote capabilities.\footnote{This is the first sample footnote. Unless you change the marker style, it will be marked with an asterisk.} Two footnotes have been placed.\footnote{This is the second footnote. Unless you change the marker style, it will be marked by a dagger.}

-
-Test of \string\QuickChapter:
-
-
-\QuickChapter[3em]{Just Before Midnight}
-
-Above, \string\QuickChapter\space inserted two blank lines, in which a phrase is followed by a short line. The text is slightly larger than normal, and sits slightly above the normal baseline.
-
-\null
-
-There is a \string\bigemdash\space between here\makebox[2.5em]{\bigemdash}and here. Its length is set at 2.5em, using \string\makebox. Compare to normal—emdash. Thickness and yoffset is adjustable.
-
-\null
-
-This tests the endnote capability.\endnote You will see marker 1 after the last sentence, and marker 2 after this one.\endnote\memo{This text does not print.} But no actual endnotes are created. You may manually place them wherever you wish. For that, you may use the \string\endnotetext\space command (if its style works for you), or any other method.
-
-\null
-
-\endnotetext{1}{This tests the \string\endnotetext\space command, although you would not normally place the text of an endnote here. It is only a test.\par}

-\endnotetext{2}{Text for a second endnote.\par}

-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-The following tests the \textit{parascale} environment:
-
-\begin{parascale}[0.8]
-But this text has a different scale than normal. Both the font size and the baseline skip have been proportionately changed. As a result, the lines are not on the normal line grid.\par
-If the following normal text needs to be back on grid (usually the case), here is what you must do: Compile, and note the number of lines occupied by the scaled text. Calculate the discrepancy, and fix with \string\vspace. Or let \textit{novel} do the thinking for you; there will be a Warning message with advice.\par
-\vspace{0.2\nbs} % based on result of Warning.
-\end{parascale}
-
-Back to normal text.  At the dimensions originally used for this test, there are 9 lines of scaled text. Not counting the first scaled line, the remaining 8 scaled lines each introduce a deficit of 0.2\string\nbs. So, the cumulative deficit is 1.6\string\nbs. The integer part doesn't matter. So, \string\vspace{0.6\string\nbs} must be added prior to \string\end\{parascale\}, to restore the normal line grid.
-
-It is also possible to split the \string\vspace, prior to \string\begin\{parascale\} and \string\end\{parascale\}, as long as the total is correct.
-
-If the \string\vspace\space is not added, then there will be a Warning message.
-
-If the parascale spans more than one page, then the correct amount to add will depend on the lines present on the final page, not the total number of lines.
-
-\clearpage
-
-
-% NEXT PAGE
-
-This page tests the \textit{adjustwidth} environment. Changing textwidth is a useful way to create block indents, occasionally used for long quotations, or for other special text that must be visually distinguished from normal.
-
-\begin{adjustwidth}{2\normalparindent}{\normalparindent}
-\forceindent This text uses the \textit{adjustwidth} environment. It is set to block indent 2\string\normalparindent\space at left, and indent 1\string\normalparindent\space at right. The \string\forceindent\space command precedes the text, so that (within the block) it indents like an ordinary paragraph.\par
-\end{adjustwidth}
-
-This text is after the environment, so it occupies the normal amount of text width.
-
-\clearpage
-
-
-% NEXT PAGE:
-
-This tests various text effects:
-
-\null
-
-\FirstLine{\noindent\charscale[2]{T}\hspace{-2pt}his line has its first letter enlarged, and sets the first line in small caps. After the first line, text continues as usual. Note that space must be provided prior to this paragraph, so that the first letter does not intrude on text (or margin) above it.}
-
-The \string\charscale\space command scales the letter, and \string\FirstLine\space performs the small caps. Also, some kerning was applied so that the large T has the following \textsc{h} resting beneath its top. The \string\noindent\space command goes inside \string\FirstLine.
-
-\null\null
-
-\dropcap{H}ere is placed is a drop cap, using \textit{novel's} \string\dropcap\space command. Alternatively, the \textit{lettrine} package could be used. There are differences in how the drop caps are specified, depending on what you do. So, be sure to read the documentation, or you will be surprised.\par
-In general, it is difficult to style drop caps so that they look good for many different letters. An alternative is to use images for the drop caps. If you use images, please read the \textit{novel} documentation, as the method is not the same as the usual methods from the \textsc{lettrine} package.\par
-Note that there is no automated way to combine a drop cap with a first line in small caps. This is discussed in \textsc{novel} documentation.

-This page tests drop folio. There will be no page header. If your head/foot style normally has a footer, then you will see it as usual.
-
-If you choose a head/foot style without footer, you will still see a page number centered below. Exactly where it appears will depend on which kind of drop folio is used.
-
-If using \string\thispagestyle\{dropfoliobeneath\} then the page number will appear within the lower margin.

-
-When you request PDF/X (default), whether or not you are in draft mode, each image placed in your document is inspected. This is one of those things that require Lua code, which is one reason why the \textit{novel} class requires LuaLaTeX only.
-
-When an image is inspected, it is added to one of two lists, either good or unknown. Each time an image is  requested, the lists are examined, so the same image file is not inspected twice. This saves time.
-
-The lists are saved in the \textit{aux} file. Then, if you re-compile, images already inspected won't be re-inspected. To re-initialize the lists, discard the \textit{aux} file.

-Two of the images were not pre-processed, so their compliance is unknown. They might be good or bad. They are:

-\null
-
-Note: If you change the document settings to \string\SetPDFX\{off\} then you will not see either of the image lists, and will not get the Warning message.

-Also, using \string\SetPDFX\{off\} will re-initialize the lists.

-\textbf{Description:} The \emph{novel} document class is for writers of original fiction, to be printed to paper, with attention to the requirements of the print-on-demand market. Non-color interiors and color covers are supported. Images are supported, but only as they might be used in fiction, not picture books.
+\textbf{News:} This document class was first privately used in 2014.
+Then, in 2018, it was improved, documented, and released. It has been
+maintained through TeXlive 2023. It is expected to work in the future, but is
+no longer maintained by its original creator.\par
+Changes in print-on-demand technology have made many parts of this code
+irrelevant. There are also a few commands that require graphic design
+experience for proper usage. And a few settings, which should be simple and
+obvious, are complex and arcane.\par
+If \emph{novel} works for you, good. But if you are simply writing a fiction
+novel, nothing fancy, then see if CTAN and TeXlive have a package named
+\emph{novelette}. As of late January 2024, the package is in beta test
+(not released yet). If the package exists and can be installed, then you
+should prefer \emph{novelette}. 
 
-If your work is an E-book, or uses interior color other than gray, or is academic, then this document class is not for you.

-\QuickChapter{1. Features}
+If your work is an E-book, or uses interior color other than gray, or is
+academic, then this document class is not for you. 
 
-Throughout, it is assumed that the purpose of your writing is a commercially printed book of fiction.
+But if you are writing a detective novel, or science fiction, or a collection
+of short stories, then you are in the right place.
 
-A new \emph{novel} is pre-configured to produce a standard trade book size of 5.5in W x 8.5in H, with layout margins that are likely to be acceptable to the most widely-used print services. The file you are now reading is in this format. But if that is not the size or layout you want, then there are commands that configure just about anything, using standard terminology and understandable purpose. Best of all, the HTML documentation comes with images and examples, so you know what you are doing.
-
-Almost everything is pre-configured to “just work,” even the choice of fonts. The chosen compiler is LuaLaTeX, and Open Type fonts are loaded using \textit{fontspec} technology. If you prefer to use a professional font, it will be easy to load and use in utf-8.
-
-Many standard LaTeX commands are disabled. This will be surprising at first. But \emph{novel} is focused on one thing only. Anything that might interfere with that purpose may have been tossed aside. So, be sure that you read the documentation! If you take an existing LaTeX document and just change the class to \emph{novel,} it is very unlikely to work as expected.
-
-Many new commands are provided. They are focused on the needs of print fiction writers, period. And, \emph{novel} has built-in PDF/X technology that exceeds the capabilities currently available via other LaTeX packages.

The files (textblock and cover) were submitted to a major American P.O.D. service in \lnum{PDF/X-1a:2001} format, then electronically reviewed and accepted \textit{on the first attempt.} A printed copy was in the author's hands within a week. Just like that. Took months to write, of course.\par
