Hi Gavin, Patrice, all - I happened to notice occasional use of
"lower-case" and "upper-case". These words are not hyphenated in most of
the manual. While I was there, I ran a simple spelling check and
doubled-word check.
One change I did not make, since it's in the code: "COPIABLE" is
normally spelled "COPYABLE", for "COPIABLE_LINKS". If you change the
parameter name, I suggest "COPYABLE_LINK_TARGETS" or "COPYABLE_ANCHORS",
since links themselves are normally copyable. At least I think that's
what it does? I'm not entirely sure from the description. --best, karl.
