 I know that part of it has to be done in caption formatting (under the image). How do I section out the part before (Map 4, Historical Treaties, Source)? I know that part of it has to be done in caption formatting (under the image).

 +A: Great question. I opened up the book to look at the context, and in this case you should put all the information in the caption (no paragraph breaks.) If you created a heading then all the text under that heading would become part of a book section titled 'Map #' and that would be changing the meaning of the book.

 Q: I'm working on Purchasing Power and the notes section has a brief preface with common abbreviations. I've added the notes according to the workflow and I'm wondering what to do with the remaining abbreviation information. Can I add a heading for "Abbreviations"? Thanks for your help! Q: I'm working on Purchasing Power and the notes section has a brief preface with common abbreviations.

 Q: I am currently working on "L’accoucheuse de Scots Bay" and I am transcribing a news article that has been split into two images. I am wondering if I should transcribe the whole article (both images) into one complex image description and use the alt-text of the second image to refer the user to the complex image description of the first image. Or, should a complex image description be created for each image? Q: I am currently working on "L’accoucheuse de Scots Bay" and I am transcribing a news article that has been split into two images.

-A: I would need to see the image to give you an answer. Please share the image.+A: Thank you for the edit with the images! I think you are right in your first thought: transcribe it into one long description with a note in the Alt-text for the second image that the transcription is in the previous long description. This also matches the workflow for how to describe images that go over two pages. Let me know if you need any more clarification or guidance on this one.

 Q: Another question for "Until We Are Free," in the article "7 Organizing Direct Action in the Digital Age" there is a star symbol next to the first occurrence of the term "direct action" and an asterisk in-front of the heading of the next sub-section title 'what is direct action?'. It seems the star is being used to inform readers that this term will be explained later in the text and not as an endnote. As it does not seem that the star is not being used as an endnote reference should it be removed or should the star be replaced using the unicode symbol? Q: Another question for "Until We Are Free," in the article "7 Organizing Direct Action in the Digital Age" there is a star symbol next to the first occurrence of the term "direct action" and an asterisk in-front of the heading of the next sub-section title 'what is direct action?'.
