A Python script for finding changes between Astlan EPUB editions:

[code=python]
#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import difflib
import epub
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

def text_paras(book, href):
soup = BeautifulSoup(book.read_item(href), ‘lxml’)
return [x.get_text() for x in soup.find_all(‘p’)]

book1 = epub.open_epub(‘Apostles of Doom Alpha 1 – J. L. Langland.epub’)
book2 = epub.open_epub(‘Apostles of Doom Alpha 2 – J. L. Langland.epub’)

for item in book1.opf.manifest.values():
print(item.href)
if item and item.media_type == ‘application/xhtml+xml’:
paras1 = text_paras(book1, item.href)
paras2 = text_paras(book2, item.href)

s = difflib.SequenceMatcher(None, paras1, paras2)
for opcode in s.get_opcodes():
print(“%6s a[%d:%d] b[%d:%d]” % opcode)

if opcode[0] == ‘insert’:
print(‘B: ‘, paras2[opcode[3]:opcode[4]])

elif opcode[0] == ‘replace’:
print(‘A: ‘, paras1[opcode[1]:opcode[2]])
print(‘B: ‘, paras2[opcode[3]:opcode[4]])

elif opcode[0] == ‘delete’:
print(‘A: ‘, paras1[opcode[1]:opcode[2]])

[/code]

I was also looking at using either NLTK or Google’s Tensor Flow language models to pull out all of the character and place names for spell checking, but that will have to wait until later.

It should be reasonably straightforward to modify this diff tool to produce a EPUB with diff highlights, and bookmarks to changes.

Aedesin, Mount Ehiron: DOA + 8, First Period (Courts), Dawn Local Time

The scoop of the conversation between Nét and Danu is hidden at the very end of the chapter, and is easy to overlook. If you miss it, you might miss a great deal in the future.

In the hook (first few pages), this sentence needs more polishing:

“Well, not name, insult name.”

Related observation: while on other hand it’s credible that they’d use Fahrenheit in hell, the forces of order would probably rather use Celsius.

Counter parts are something a kitchen builder would express an interest in, while orcs might be searching for their counterparts.

“No he hates Exador more than Lenamare.” -> “No, he hates Exador more than Lenamare does.”

If a demon shape is a function of the expectations of those linked to the demon, how long until Tom starts growing a lantern jaw?

Oh, so doing it “by commander” didn’t actually mean he was linking through the commander as one would have assumed?

D’Hitchens has this to say about Tiernon’s minions’ free will:

“Make Mt. Doom great again” vs. “make Tierhallon great again?”
