tools/make_epub.py converts the same src/ the PDF is set from, running
polish.py first, with original page numbers as page-list metadata, endnotes
gathered in one linked Notes section, and the colophon and errata included.
It raises on any macro it does not declare. tools/epub_audit.py checks by
class of fault (LaTeX residue, escaping, empty blocks, links, images, XML,
content, typography drift from the PDF); make epub runs both.
\byedition{PDF}{EPUB} lets the colophon carry the sentences that are true of
only one edition; the errata introduction moves into src/errata.tex so both
editions print one copy. reprocheck.py now accepts an .epub and skips
environment parameters that are layout, not copy.

Ross 1988 — re-typeset edition (work in progress)
Re-typesetting Fiona Ross's 1988 SOAS Ph.D. thesis The Evolution of the Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978 from the ProQuest scan into a searchable PDF.
Quick start
make image # build the toolchain container (TeX Live/XeLaTeX, poppler, tesseract, python)
make check # consistency checks
make build # → ross-1988-retypeset.pdf (previous version archived in older-versions/)
Continue the conversion with Claude Code from this directory: it reads CLAUDE.md,
PLAN.md, CONTINUATION.md; /batch, /verify and /status are provided in .claude/commands/.
