* 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 ==

Fonts larger than 100% are of no concern, but the font templates listed below, have line heights proportional to the font size.<ref>The {{tl|fsx}} template doesn't reduce the line height proportionately.</ref>

* 
fs90 or {{tl|fs90/s}} {{tl|fs90/e}}{{tl|fs90}} is used to enclose Author names, 
* {{tl|fs90/s}} {{tl|fs90/e}} used to enclose a bloc of paragraphs and/or span pages. When used to span pages, the <nowiki>{{fs90/e}}</nowiki> is placed in the footer of the first page, to terminates the block and <nowiki>{{fs90/s}}</nowiki> is placed in the header of the following page to begin the new block. This way the transcluded text in the main namespace will be enclosed with a single set of templates because headers and footers are excluded.
* {{tl|fs85}} 85% font size and 100% line height. - Used exclusively for image captions and subtitled sections of recurring monthly features.<p>
* {{tl|fs75}} 75% font size and 95% line height. - Used to enhance the diversity of font sizes of article sub-titles.<p>
* {{tl|fs70}} 70% font size and 90% line height. - Used inline to match the line height of fraction templates <nowiki>{{fs70|{{over||}}}} and {{fs70|{{frac||}}}}</nowiki>.</div>

<div {{ts|aj|it}}> {{tl|fs90}} 90% font size and 120% line height - the standard size of smaller print paragraphs. Used for enclosing a single paragraph, for chapter sections indicated with roman numerals, as in {<nowiki>{c|{{fs90|IV}}}}</nowiki> and to enhance the diversity of font sizes of article sub-titles.<p>

* {{tl|fs90/s}}{{tl|fs90/e}} same dimensions as above - used as a set to enclose paragraphs and/or span pages. When used to span pages, the <nowiki>{{fs90/e}}</nowiki> is placed in the footer of the page, and <nowiki>{{fs90/s}}</nowiki> is placed in the header of the following page. This way the text in the main namespace will be enclosed with a single set of templates because headers and footers are not included.<p>⏎

=== Titles ===

* Articles' main titles are set by templates. See list of title templates in the Reference section at the end of the page.

=== Author names ===

* 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 nameUTHOR NAME}}}}}}
</pre>
{{c|{{fs90|{{sc|By Author nameUTHOR NAME}}}}}}
{{Dhr}}

* Some articles have no author attribution, or the names are initials or attributed asto {{fs90|"ONE WHO WAS THERE", "A SUB-PROFESSOR".}} etc.

=== Secondary title font sizes ===

* If there is a second subtitle below the author's name, then the font size is 75% using the {{tl|fs75}} template and the subtitle is centered.
* If there is a tertiary subtitle, center it an enclose it with a font size comparable to the original, which might be 100% or 85% font size using the {{tl|fs85}} template.
* {{sc|Example:}}[[Page:Popular Science Monthly Volume 1.djvu/71|This page]] has one main and five sub titles. Otherwise, article titles consist of one main and, at most, three sub-titles. Since the styles differ, there is good visual contrast, even when the font-size difference is less than 10%. Titles can start anywhere on a page.

== Paragraphs ==

* Roman numeral numbered paragraphs are always 90% of the normal font size, using the {{tl|fs90}} template.

=== General templates ===

* Attempt was made to use [[:Category:Formatting templates|Templates]] almost exclusively. HTML tags are limited to the minimum where a template wasn't available or possible.
