Beginning ingestion into template

I started with the Harris translation. This was already in PDF form and was mostly unadorned, so it was a simple copy and paste job.

The flow was simple, though repetitious bordering on tedious.

1. Copy a page of text
2. Paste into text frame
3. Re-route overflow into next page frame
4. Repeat

Since the source book has five…chapters?…scrolls? – each one is one of the elements, and is kind of it’s own document, spanning from a few pages (Book of Void) to a few dozen pages (Book of Water, Fire, each). Because of that division, I realized I should probably start a new text flow with each chapter.

I needed to add a few additional styles. There were also some text artifacts (page numbers, footnote / endnote superscripts) that needed to be removed, and whitespace to be cleaned up.

The end result was around 70 or 80 pages in the document. Not too bad.
