ELF presentation is quite nice. However, the texts are not new. As the crits
page states, "The texts are from the Gutenberg Project, except for De La Terre
A La Lune, from ABU. " These texts may also be found, in their original ascii
format, as well as in an edited HTML form, in Jules Verne Virtual Library,
<http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/JulesVerne/works.html>. The HTML editing
also corrected various errors in the ascii format, e.g., non matching double
quotes, restores the original italization, and gives credit to the original
translators. (Only two of the Gutenberg English texts have marking for
italization. ELF still has underscores in its rendition of "Off on a Comet",
and it uses the unmarked version of "From the Earth to the Moon", so it has no
italization in its Gutenbengerg-originated texts).
