Using the TOC, article titles were standardized, and all titled pages were proofread. The same process was applied to the recurring monthly section titles and paragraph start styles. Finally, the rest of the body of the volume are being proofread systematically, incorporating image processing procedures for uploading to the Commons, in parallel with proofreading of a page.

==
  Templates instead of HTML code  ==

[[:Category:Formatting templates|Templates]] are used almost exclusively and HTML tags are limited to where a template isn't possible. Template selection was determined by their relevance and versatility in reducing the editing process to a logical minimum. Defaults were used where applicable, and a compact list of the templates is listed in the [[#Proofreading_tools|Proofreading tools]] section.

Project specific templates can be found [[:Category:The Popular Science Monthly Project templates|here]].

Template variables are indicated by 'x' or 'xxx' for text, 'n' or 'nnn' indicate numeric value which can be expressed in % px, or em.

== Table of Contents ==

# Table of Contents entries are the names of the assembled article pages in the main namespace. While the article titles are uppercase, in the Table of Contents they are capitalized lowercase, except pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions, which are lowercase, (unless they are the first word of the title).
# Article titles on the left are hyperlinks to the assembled page in the main namespace.

While random sampling of articles by topic, an interesting relationship can be discerned between the article's subject, the typographical style, and even the word count per page. Articles on morality, religion and religious thought, contain an increased number of typographical embellishments to emphasize their admonishing and cautionary messages. This is indicated by an increased number of em—dashes, double quotes, single quotes, italics, and capitalized text. There is a lot of rolling of the holy.
