Christopher Jones, an assistant professor of history at BYU and editor of the Journal of Mormon History, joins Book of Mormon Art Catalog director Jenny Champoux. They discuss Harrowed Up No More by Ben Crowder. This episode complements week 31 (Alma 36–38) of the 2024 “Come, Follow Me” Book of Mormon curriculum.

I’m heavily biased here, of course, but I enjoyed watching this. It’s rewarding to see people not only discuss the symbolism I was thinking about while making the piece but also interpret it in new ways I hadn’t thought of before.

As mentioned at the end of the third batch post, I was running into an issue with Traditional Chinese where Firefox would hang when I tried to print it. Finally found out that the reason it was hanging was the font — after I switched it from Noto Serif CJK to Noto Serif Traditional Chinese, it started working.

I think my favorite is the Persian.

Also, I made a traditional Chinese version as well, but Firefox hangs when I try to print it. It’s the only language that happened with. Haven’t been able to figure it out yet.

Implementation/design notes

• Chrome has a weird Skia bug where text in exported PDFs isn’t searchable/copyable, which was a dealbreaker since these editions are meant to be digital-only.
• Firefox does handle searching and copying just fine, but (sadly) it isn’t able to break the two-columned text correctly across page breaks. This means every part of a verse has to be on the same page (as opposed to half at the bottom of one and half at the top of the next), with the result that some pages have more whitespace at the bottom than is economical.
• Firefox also doesn’t respect break-after: avoid, so I had to add page breaks before each chapter heading (which adds even more extra whitespace) (which can be a valid design decision, to be clear, but my original intent was to stream the chapters with no breaks so that the page count wouldn’t balloon). There’s a potential workaround that I’m looking into in the meantime.
• There are no page numbers, because Firefox and Chrome don’t yet support the CSS paged media rules for that, and Paged.js choked and died on these files.
• Browsers still aren’t great at paragraph layout, so there are going to be occasional widows and orphans.
• I originally started on these several years ago using LaTeX, but I ran into issues getting the page layout to work the way I wanted it to. Layout-wise, things were so, so much easier with HTML and CSS.
• If/when some of these browser issues get fixed (or I find workarounds), I’ll post updated files.
