I think you're doing a great job! Despite what some might say, not everyone can do these corrections well. It's a fuzzy line between messing with the style and correcting mistakes, and you seem to have good sense of what to do, and you write well.
I'm currently editing all of mageson's writings for HP Cobra, which includes most of Kabbalah Exposed, but feel free to keep going on the main site. Every bit helps!
I agree that posting edits is not very efficient. The ideal way is to directly edit the HTML files on my offline mirror, which is what I'll be doing with your edits. That mirror is the most up-to-date version and will be gradually merged with HP Cobra's updates.
Do you have an HTML editor that works with JoS pages? If not, I've made a webapp word processor for HTML pages, and it works for non-standard syntax like the JoS. It's currently for personal use, but I could polish it up for you in a few days. Would that be helpful?
Thank you
My internet was out until now, hence my late reply. I think that would be helpful, if I can figure it out lol. I'm not very tech-savvy but I can learn. It would definitely cut the time down significantly.
Good luck with editing mageson's writings lol.
Here is my HTML editor:
WebWord.zip
(Sorry for the delay. It was turning into such a useful tool that I got carried away polishing it!)
It's a Chrome extension, but it works in Brave too and probably other Chromium browsers.
To install it:
1. Extract that ZIP file. There's a directory inside called "WebWord".
2. Open the Extensions page in Chrome. Click the three dots at the top right to open the menu, then under "More tools" click "Extensions".
3. Enable developer mode at the top right of the Extensions page.
4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the directory "WebWord" from the extracted ZIP file. Make sure you select the inner-most "WebWord" directory.
Once installed, you'll see an editing toolbar appear at the top of every webpage. (Yes, the style is ancient Windows 95 graphics. As I said, this started as a personal project, and I like that style.)
To start editing a page, click the pencil icon in the toolbar.
It's designed to be as similar as possible to Microsoft Word, which is the interface nearly every word processor imitates. However, there are more advanced features that let you edit the underlying HTML elements or even the raw code if necessary. There's a detailed "Instructions" page under the toolbar's Help menu that should help get you started. I don't expect editing the JoS pages to require anything beyond the standard word processing features, but it may help to understand the underlying structure a little bit. Also, if the toolbar is annoying on normal websites, you can turn off the Web Word extension when you're not using it with the slider on the Extensions page.
For editing the JoS pages, simply open the HTML files from my
offline mirror, make whatever corrections you think are needed, then click "Save" to download the corrected page. When you've finished a batch of pages, just zip the HTML files and email them to me. I'll review the changes and update the pages on the Tor site.
P.S. If this turns out not to be useful and you prefer posting the edits as before, don't feel bad. I've been using this editor a lot myself to do the edits posted so far, so my time was already well spent! Feel free to ask any questions or post if something isn't working.
