Terminology
Tracking
In typography, tracking, also called letter-spacing, refers to the amount of space between a group of letters to affect density in a line or block of text.
Terminology
Widow

A paragraph-opening line that appears by itself at the bottom of a page/column.
The Chicago Manual of Style
Terminology
Orphan (2)
A word, part of a word, or very short line that appears by itself at the end of a paragraph. Orphans result in too much white space between paragraphs or at the bottom of a page.

Terminology
White space
White space, also known as negative space, is the term describing open space between design elements. Margins, leading, space between letters, words, paragraphs.

River
In typography, rivers, or rivers of white, are visually unattractive gaps appearing to run down a paragraph of text, due to an accidental alignment of spaces.
Terminology

Typesetting a Bible with Prince XML
PRINCE
My assignment
Create or extend a standard that will allow us to exchange Bibles in the process of translation that handles
multiple back translations (different languages),
translator and consultant notes, and status of translation.
OXES based on OSIS
OXES (Open XML for Editing Scripture) was developed to add requested features.
OSIS focuses on the finished translation. OXES includes process information so in the future translators will know why a passage was translated the way it is. OSIS is highly extensible. OXES is restrictive. All options are explicitly named.
Too many files to distribute
I have over 100 image files to include with the HTML documentation produced from the Relax NG schema.
Our son, Eric, suggested using Prince to produce one PDF file.
I looked at Prince PDF samples online

Prince PDF samples
Prince PDF book
My OXES PDF documentation
Prince solved my problem
All the images are included in one PDF file that is easy to distribute
It seemed to handle book info well So …
Since Prince can do books
Page size
Paragraph formatting
Margins
A Bible is a book –extra requirements
Chapter numbers
Inline and stacking footnotes
Verse numbers
And much more
Test OXES by printing Bible
To test that I had a complete specification I decided to transform a Bible into OXES and then to print using Prince XML.
My Prince output: 1 column

My Prince output: 2 column
