Sunday 13 October 2019. __NEWSECTIONLINK__ It’s been a different kind of week; couple of days off work, jumping around various wiki-places but not taking notes. Kids go back to school on Tuesday.

Wikisource
Started reading and re-verifying the Preface to MacCauliffe's The Sikh Religion. Hope I’m not messing up too badly; it’s been a long time since I was last on WikiSource.

URAA and the shorter term

 * United States non-acceptance of the rule of the shorter term
 * commons:Commons:Licensing
 * wikisource:Help:Wikilivres. Unfortunately Wikilivres appears to be down.

Soft hyphens
Soft hyphen mentions that there are two conflicting semantics.

read ref's 1–3.

Test.

Shys with ex&shy; plicit line&shy; -breaks in wiki&shy; text. (Inserts spaces because newlines are whitespace.)

Shys without ex&shy;plicit line&shy;-breaks in wiki&shy;text.

Shy be&shy; fore BR. (As expected, nothing special happens here.)

PRE with ex- plicit line- -breaks.

Round-trip through VE: shys were preserved.
