Copy Edit Process

We see copy editing as a process where hypertext goes through a sequence of transformations with the final edits reconciled with the original source.

digraph { rankdir=LR node [shape=box style=filled fillcolor=bisque] Wiki -> HTML -> Docs -> Edits Wiki -> Edits [dir=back label=reconciliation] }

We will capture files at each stage to test the tool chain and perfect the reconciliation process.
