Dan,

 

In order to produce good clean books, you have two options, you can
normalize the headers and footers, which is a 50 cent word for saying they
must be identical down to the capitalization and whitespace, or you can
remove the text.  If the headers/footers are normalized, then the Stripper
should remove the text as it processes the page numbers.  I've found that
it's easiest just to remove the text though by hand since that's faster than
insuring that all of the text is normalized.  The results are the same, and
removing the text by hand has less risk associated with it since it makes
the job of the Stripper simpler.

Ok, I haven't paid close enough attention I guess.  So when validating a
book are we supposed to take out the footers/headers and just leave the page
numbers and page breaks?  

 

If so then that is the last task to finish validating this "All Things
Herriot" book.

 

Thanks.
