Last Sentence

Would the last sentence include any appendices? Or is it the last sentence prior to appendices? Would we ignore glossaries - they are not often complete sentences anyway. Sometimes appendices may not have complete sentences either. I was adding info on Freemasonry and Its Etiquette, and the last sentence of the work prior to appendices is just a title from the Supreme Council. Appendix E actually has a real sentence as the very last words of the book (it has no index).

Thanks in advance for opinions.

Use your own good judgment. I think this is better handled on a case-by-case basis than by a general rule.

That works for me - thanks.

Wait, there's another option. The sentences have a + sign. You can do two entries, eg.,

Marry had a little lamb. (last chapter)

Mary grew up and sold the lamb. (epilogue)

That's neat. Thanks Tim.

Reviving a dormant thread so as not to waste the title.

Abandoned, and try again below.

I think you need a separate poll in each entry, so your three polls would be three separate posts in this thread. Perhaps an initial post laying out your overall question, so then: four posts.

>7 elenchus: Aha. When it showed up like that on the "Preview", I assumed it was the same glitch you get with triple square brackets for a touchstone for a series. With that, the preview displays the previous touchstone in the message, but it sorts itself out when you post the message.

This is the same poll, three times. If you vote, then refresh the page, you find you've voted the same way in all three.

Okay, time to try again:

As a bit of fun, in the hope of provoking a Friday afternoon discussion, and also an excuse to see if I can post a poll (which I plainly failed to do in #6), take a magazine or journal whose back page article is "Continued on page number". Is the last sentence:

I'm not voting, I'm just pointing to >2 lorax:

>12 gilroy: Yes, I made reference to #2 that first time round in #6, but left it out of the re-write. I knew someone would raise it.

I think >6 Cynfelyn: raises a fun question.

My take is that the "shape" of a publication isn't necessarily it's physical form, so the last sentence is not necessarily the one found on the last page. It follows, then, that for some publications (some "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, for example, or Dictionary of the Khazars), there is no last sentence.

What's a back page article?
