Guidance for a sister site about how to exclude or distinguish in mobile
Gday Tomasz. English Wikisource is looking at annotations and the like, to see how we can produce both the clean, original text, and then alternate views. We are having an issue in the mobile format with some of the output through mobile not allowing us to distinguish between different components. Where do we go for a guide in what is and isn't possible, and what are the best ways to make things distinguishable in the mobile format. Thanks for any help you or your team is able to provide. Probably also what we need to think about is works that are graphics intensive what/how we should make them different. We at least have an epub version available. — billinghurst  sDrewth  11:47, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
