(contracted; show full)=== What needs to be done ===

* Proofreading of pages.
* Inserting some overlooked tables.
* Inserting some overlooked images.
* Linking index entry anchors to the titles.

== 
ProofreadingTypographic formats ==

=== Hyphenation ===

* Hyphenated words, which by themselves are correct, are left as is, being the typesetting style at the time.
* A hyphen at the end of line is often used to justify the text. Use your judgement if the words should be hyphenated.

=== Single and double quotes ===

* Use standard English typewriter double quotes " (ANSI 034)  and not international glyphs or the Unicode slanted/curved quotes.
* Check for matching opening and closing quotes and close up the space between the marks and the enclosed text.
* There is an occasionally occurring typographical style applied to a series of paragraphs where the beginning of each paragraph is opened without a closing double quotation mark.
* For single quotes use the standard English typewrite single quote ' (ANSI 039) They are used to enclose text, within, or in place of, double quotation marks.

=== Ligatures, typographic characters and symbols ===⏎

* Insert the missing 'em—dash' — (ANSI 0151). Currently this is available on the advanced editor toolbar, can be added to the user's Charinsert preference, or use the {{tl|--}} template. 
* Apply <nowiki>''italics''</nowiki> to the text where required. ''Referenced publication names are always italicized''.
* Proofread for ambiguous text. They may be incorrectly rendered scientific, technical, or currency symbols like, fractions '½', degrees '°', currency '£' symbols or centered decimal point as · .
*  Search for 'ae', and 'oe', which are most likely to incorrectly rendered ligatures 'æ', and the 'œ'. Assumptions can be made of their existence in the text, based on the article's subject matter.
* In some volumes, some symbols and characters are ignored by the OCR. These include the em dash (—), currency symbols ($ and £), and the temperature indicator º, etc.

=== Fonts sizes and font templates ===

* Font sizes of 100% or greater are of no concern in this project. Use whatever size is deemed to match the original.⏎
⏎
==== Titles and sub-title font sizes ====

* Articles' main titles are set by templates. 
* The main title is followed by the Author's name for which there is no template. The name is enclosed in the {{tl|Small caps}} template, then the set to font size is 90% always using the {{tl|fs90}} template and finally centered on the page.

<pre>
{{c|{{fs90|{{sc|By Author name}}}}}}

* Occasionally, the lowercase 'h' is rendered as 'b'.
* Words containing 'g' is problematic.
* Words containing 'p' are often rendered as 'jj'.
* Uppercase 'N' is often rendered incorrectly.
* The uppercase "R" is often rendered as 'K' 'E', or 'B'. Spell check finds the error, unless the change is a meaningful word.
* Ligatures.

== Tags ==

* When a page specific code is required the .djvu number of the page is used because it guarantees uniqueness. Printed page numbers are not unique or accurate. In addition, if the code contains no spaces, then enclosing the code with quotes can be omitted.

=== Section tags ===

* The codes are made up of the following segments:
