Common navigation

On any given page, there will be some common navigation provided by our Double Page template:

  • A "Previous Page" link
  • A "Next Page" link
  • A "Template:<xxx>-<xxx>" link
  • An image thumbnail

Copyediting

To help edit, follow the following procedure:

  1. click on the image thumbnail of the page. This will slightly enlarge the image. Click on the image again, and it should be large enough for you to read. Leave this open in a browser window.
  2. In another browser window, open up the same page, and click on the "Template:<xxx>-<xxx>" link. This will bring you to a page where you can edit the text. Click on the "edit" button at the top to begin editing. Compare the text in the editor with the image from the other window, and make corrections if necessary.

Procedural Notes

Centered or justified layout

Keep everything left justified - we will not attempt to match layout with the original, since we provide the original images to look at.

Page breaks

To indicate the beginning of a page, use the page template like so:

{{p|xxx}}

Hyphenations

If a word is hyphenated across a page (inter-rupted, for example), indicate the page break AFTER the word:

interrupted {{p|xxx}}

Remove all hyphenated words

Paragraphs

Put one line feed between paragraphs

Italics

To indicate italics, use two single quotes before and after the words to be italicized

''This is italics,'' this is not.

Single line feeds

In the case where you need a manual line feed, put a break code in:

 This line is on top of<br/> this one 

Small text

To indicate text in a smaller font, use the following tags:

 <small>This is small.</small> This is not.
