Postioning of illustrations:

Text version: illustration tags in the middle of a paragraph are
moved to a paragraph break above or below.

Html version:

1. Illustrations in the middle of a paragraph are moved to a
paragraph break above or below the paragraph. Where there is no
paragraph break on the page, the illustration is moved to the
nearest paragraph break in the pages before or after. For smaller
half-width illustrations with text wrapping down one side, the image
is floated left or right at a suitable paragraph break to resemble
the appearance in the original text. The positioning of
illustrations may cause the amount of text between page number
anchors to be smaller than usual.

2. Full page illustrations. With the exception of the illustration
on Page 10, full page illustrations in the original text had blank
reverse sides which were included in the page number count. In the
html, such illustrations carry a two-number page anchor e.g. [53-4].
Where full page illustrations occur in the middle of a paragraph,
they and their page anchors are moved upward
