I suggest you leave the tablespoon pound and cup the way the book has it. It works, that is, is quite readable.
Unless you leave these as the book has written them, you will never get through validating one book.

The book I'm validating has recipes and it's the first book I've done that has recipes. I am accumulating quite a self-structured style guide from all this ongoing conversation, for example an asterisk to hold a blank line in poetry, but recipes will be a new thing for me with new style requirements.Here are a few of my questions.Do people prefer to have measurements spelled out, for example, tablespoon instead of Tbs and pound instead of the letters l and b. If I want to write one and a half cups, should I write one dash one slash two?Or should I write one space one slash two?And should I spell out cups or is the letter c. enough? That is 1-1/2 c? 1 1/2 cups?Not knowing what folks' text readers are doing with this email I hope I'm not being too confusing. I would rather have the details figured out beforehand than trying to remedy everything after I have gone through the book once.Thank you for all Booksharian wisdom.This is a great book. It's been tackled twice before but returned new. It has Hebrew in it, it has recipes. It's by one of my spiritual teachers, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, and it's all about Jewish holidays and with delicious recipes (because what's a Jewish holiday without Jewish recipes!). I am ordering a printed copy of the book, which is unfortunately out of print but I'm buying a used copy, and I am delighted to be adding excellent recipes for hamentashen and other Jewish holiday foods, as well as beautiful information about all of my people's religious holidays to the Bookshare collection.So I want the recipes to be validated in the best possible way.
