Hi Everybody,
I agree with Evan and Sue. We have beaten this topic to
death. Proven solutions exist to protect chapter headings and story
titles and have been described in detail more than once. Can we give
it a rest now? Please?

Your solution is unnecessary. A method for protecting chapter and
story title headings has been posted here multiple times, that
solution being putting a page number with blank lines around it,
above the chapter or story title. This solution has been tested by
myself and others, most recently Bob, and has been shown to yield
the desired results.
The only thing I do think the staff needs to do is put this info
into the next update to the Volunteer Manual.
It is true that this is not the only solution. Others, most recently
Allison, have tested the method of putting asterisks above the
titles. But the page number method is the most elegant one, in my
opinion, because whatever the stripper does with it does not matter,
since if it is not stripped, all you get is a page number above your
story or chapter title, and not some extraneous text.
Still, there is more than one way to achieve the goal of protecting
the headings,, and they have been more than thoroughly discussed by
now. (I admit to being in full agreement with Sue S by this point in
that I think the topic is well past it's expiration date.)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Solution to the Stripper issues seems
rather simple to me...
Hello Everyone,
We have all been going around and around about this converter /
stripper tool and its behaviors for a very long time now. I feel
the ultimate solution to our concerns is actually quite simple and
does not have to involve making any changes in any code at this
time. All that is needed is a detailed description from the
engineer(s) who created and maintain this tool as to exactly what
steps it takes while processing a book. Such an understanding could
then be codified into a set of instructions that would serve to
enhance the existing and updated Volunteer Manual so that we know
exactly what we can and cannot do when validating books.
