This release now requires Node.js v16. (Previously using Node.js v16+ would give an error.)

Otherwise it only includes under-the-hood dependency updates, with no impact on the produced EPUBs.

This release fixes some problems trying to scrape Ward due to recent parahumans.net website updates. No actual source text appears to have changed, but some minor coding changes to the website broke the scraper temporarily.

This release's fixes are due to contributions from @CrackedP0t in #24, on their Worm read-through.

General content fixes, applied to both Worm and Ward:

  • Fixed misspellings of "scot-free".
  • Fixed misspellings of "changed tack".
  • Fixed various situations where spaces were inadvertently inserted, including in the middle of words.

Worm-specific content fixes:

  • Spot fixes for the whole book.

This release focuses on fixes to the produced EPUBs to make them valid. Previously certain chapters, or parts of the metadata, were broken, which would lead to either those chapters or the entire book being unreadable, depending on the e-reader software in question.

Thanks to @Es7evam for pointing these issues out, in #22!

  • Fixed invalid XHTML in Worm Interlude 8 (Bonus), Worm Cockroaches 28.2, and Ward Sundown 17.6.
  • Replaced <img>s referencing a WordPress-hosted skeptical face with a textual 🤨 emoji.
  • Fixed various issues with the covers' metadata and XHTML.
  • Removed the compression of the mimetype file in the generated EPUB, since apparently that's disallowed per the EPUB spec.

Program improvements:

  • Added a new cover for Worm.
  • Changed the author metadata of the produced EPUBs from "wildbow" to "Wildbow".
  • Added cover credits in this repository.
  • Allowed running the scraper with no commands, i.e. now you can type just worm-scraper instead of worm-scraper download convert scaffold zip.
  • Slightly improved the output of various steps. The download step in particular is now less verbose.
  • Updated under-the-hood dependencies.

General content fixes, applied to both Worm and Ward:

  • Hyphenated self-preservation, vat-grown, shell-shocked, a just-in-case, dog-tired, one-sided, medium-sized, teary-eyed, and worst-case scenario.
  • Hyphenated second-guess, built-in, face-to-face, and fight-or-flight when appropriate.
  • Fixed hyphenation code to work even when the phrase is capitalized.
  • Removed over-capitalization of judo, aikido, and tae kwon do.
  • De-italicized some commas when two words are italicized in a row.

Ward-specific content fixes:

  • Spot fixes through Last 20.end (i.e., the end of the book).
  • Always capitalize "Uncle Neil" and "Aunt Fleur".
  • De-capitalized "flock" since lowercase was much more prevalent.
  • De-capitalized "giants", but always capitalized "Mathers Giant", "Mother Giant", and "Goddess Giant".

General content fixes, applied to both Worm and Ward:

  • Hyphenated self-esteem, self-loathing, self-harm, level-headed, and clear-cut.
  • Hyphenated hand-to-hand when used as an adjective.
  • Removed hyphens from "high five" and "fist bump", except where they were used as verbs.
  • Removed over-capitalization of "parahumans".
  • Removed more non-breaking spaces, which would manifest as lines wrapping strangely or as sentences followed by too many spaces.

Ward-specific content fixes:

  • Spot fixes through Infrared 19.4.
  • Standardized on always capitalizing "Titan" and "Titans" after Sundown 17.y (and before when used as part of a name, e.g. "Kronos Titan").
  • Fixed capitalization of "Stranger Titan" and "the Stranger"; they were being erroneously de-capitalized by the existing PRT designation de-capitalization code.
  • Fixed misspellings of "Tattletale" as "Tatteltale".
  • Always capitalize the "Aunt" in "Aunt Sarah".
  • Always capitalize "Fragile One".
  • Always capitalize "Machine Army".
