/* ---------- a plate that BLEEDS ----------
Opt-in, and only when the block asks for it. Every rule above is left
exactly as it was and none of them is overridden except through the
.bleed class, so the two books already built with mounted plates render
character for character as before.
The difference is what the picture is FOR. A MOUNTED plate is an
illustration laid ON the page with paper showing round it. A BLED plate
IS the page: it runs to all four edges, and the caption therefore has no
paper of its own to stand on, so it has to stand on the picture. Two
consequences follow that the mounted rules never have to deal with.
FIRST, object-fit HAS TO BECOME cover. `contain` fits the whole picture
inside the leaf and leaves bars wherever the proportions disagree -- and
on a bled plate those bars are the one thing the mode exists to abolish.
`cover` fills the leaf and crops the overflow instead. That is a real
cost, paid knowingly: a plate materially wider or narrower than the leaf
loses its edges. The plates this was built for are portraits within a few
per cent of the leaf's own proportion, so the crop is a sliver off the
head and foot and no figure is cut.
SECOND, the caption NEEDS ITS OWN GROUND. Light type over an unknown
picture is legible on one plate and invisible on the next, so the caption
carries a gradient scrim: opaque at the foot, clear a short way up, dark
enough at every point in between that the words hold. The scrim is a
background ON THE CAPTION BOX rather than a separate element, so it can
never drift away from the words it exists to carry. */

/* ---------- the sand sequence on a part page ----------
Three stages, in this order: the Book's title fades in letter by letter,
the letters blow away downwind, and the numeral resolves in the space they
leave. build.py bakes each letter's two delays and its own drift into
inline custom properties, so the stagger is scaled to the length of the
title and every Book page runs to the same clock however long its title is.
The title is laid over the whole leaf rather than stacked above the label,
so the numeral appears exactly where the title was standing rather than
somewhere underneath it. Words are inline-block: a line may break between
words and never inside one.
Note on the two animations per letter. sandOut is declared with `both`, so
during its delay it holds its own first frame -- and its first frame is the
fully-arrived letter, which is precisely what sandIn finished on. That is
what lets the two run back to back on one element without the second one
wiping out the first while it waits. */
/* Tracking and word space have to be set against each other. These titles
are capitals, and tracked-out capitals need a word space that grows with
the tracking -- at .12em of tracking against a .42em gap the two readings
were close enough that the line ran together and you could not see where
one word ended. The tracking is now half what it was and the word space
two and a half times, which puts them an order of magnitude apart. */

and because the builder joins the word spans with no whitespace at all,
there was no word-space in the markup either. The words were separated by
precisely the trailing letter-spacing of their last letter, which is to say
by exactly the same distance as the letters inside them, which is exactly
what a reader reported: you could not see where one word ended.

/* ---------- signature and subhead ----------

Little Women, Pride and Prejudice and The Jungle Book were rendering as
ordinary paragraphs. A signature closes a letter, so it sits right and
italic; a subhead is a minor division inside a chapter. */

Moral Sentiments, which sets Part over Section over Chapter. It has to read
as LARGER than a chapter head and SMALLER than a Part leaf, and the way it
does that is by being ruled rather than by being loud: rules above and
below mark it as a boundary, while the type stays close to the chapter

stand inside the prose. The lines are centred italic like .verse; the rule
beneath is what separates the quotation from the chapter it stands over, and
the source is set small and spaced so that it reads as a signature rather

/* ---------- The Magic Ring, Vol. III: the chapter half-title leaves --------
THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE FIRST TWO VOLUMES, IN THIS VOLUME'S OWN INKS.
Twenty-eight titles, sentences again -- "How Sir Folko fought with an old
woman, and broke her stand of crockery-ware" -- so each has a leaf to
itself and the duplicate over the prose is not painted at all.
THE MOTION IS TYPE AND NOTHING ELSE. The engine's .chapanim stage stays
empty; the only things that move are the numeral, the hairline and the
title.
WHY EACH RULE IS A TWO-ANIMATION SHORTHAND. book.css already gives these
three spans a staged entrance keyed to .play, and `animation` is a
shorthand: a rule naming only a loop would REPLACE that entrance rather
than join it, and the leaf would arrive with its lettering already sitting
there -- which looks exactly like a finished page and is not one.
THE PERIODS, AND THE ONE THAT ALMOST GOT MISSED. 13.70s, 16.10s, 19.30s.
They are distinct from each other; none of them is one of the fifteen the
engine stylesheet ships; none is volume one's or volume two's. AND NONE IS
ONE OF THIS BOOK'S OWN COVER PERIODS -- which is a constraint nobody in
this series had written down before, because the cover stylesheet and the
leaf stylesheet are two files but ONE document: build.py appends both into
the same
