What was fixed in v2.5:
Dozens and dozens of errors that look like the usual formatting issues with run-on words when a lit file is extracted. Some other things that could have been scan errors. Original HTML was obviously not proofed (Yes, I'm annoyed.)
File was read through; corrections made and this should be pretty readable although some things were likely missed.
Enjoy.
