That dictionary project

Vesið heilir!

Someone (my memory of names isn't too good) asked for volunteers
for transscribing an Old Norse dictionary from scanned images to
text.

Now, I'd in principle volunteer, however, frankly, I can't twist
my fingers around HTML in the style shown in the example page.
<B> and <I> and so on are deprecated in the current standards,
and use of Microsoft specific font declarations will render suboptimally
on all machines that don't have those fonts. Now, that HTML may
be generated, but I don't really use HTML generators but usually
type HTML myself when doing it at all; so if I do some pages,
the text will surely look a bit differently, but the most important
thing will be done: A transscription with, I hope, not many errors.

Í friði,

Hannah.
