PATCH: soure quotes corrected and attributed
Message ID:
25342.1225319019@chthon
As those who read through to the end of my previous message shall have
inferred, I updated all the Tolkien quotes in the source files.
I corrected them (some were misworded), attributed them as to who said
them and where, and made them "look all of one cloth"; that is, unified
the quoting style to accord with the books' and made them similar in
indentation and attribution style.
NB: poetry is indented, and quote marks fall one column earlier
than the quoted text.
*And* I even passed it by Larry for approval. :-)
Does my format below suffice, or is a recursive unidiff preferred?
