A simple Title Page. It's a "Major Division," so precede the text with 4 blank lines. Since there's only one line, there's no reason to use no-wraps.
082
The book's title often appears as a heading on the first "body" page, so precede it with 4 blank lines. The chapter name will appear next, and since it, too, begins a "Major Division," precede it with another 4 blank lines.
For purposes of formatting Drama, the "Acts" generally are the chapters and the "Scenes" are the sections. Since both words appear on the same line, just treat it as the equivalent of a chapter heading, with 4 blank lines above and 2 blank lines below.
Stage Directions often contain a mix of font styles, in this case, italics and small-caps. Unless the Project Comments or Discussion give special instructions, tag them as they actually appear, closing and re-opening the tags around each style. Punctuation often will be outside any tags in these cases, and so will the ending period.
The characters' names are in mixed small-caps; if there are no in-line Stage Directions next to them, they are complete sentences for formatting purposes, so the periods go INSIDE the tags.
The footnote anchor and reference are numeric, so use those numbers.
The horizontal line above the footnote is not a thought break, just a separator between the body and the footnote area.
The verse within the footnote should be formatted as normal verse: enclosed in no-wraps, with the indentation pattern reproduced as closely as possible, but using an even number of spaces; and at least one line in any no-wraps block must be left-justified, even if it's all indented in the Image.
The quotation marks around the italicized text are containers; they are not part of what they contain and should be OUTSIDE the italics tags.
083
The first two lines are verse (both begin with capital letters), so enclose them in no-wraps. There's no indentation pattern, so left-justify both of them.
Without seeing the previous page, it isn't possible to know whether these lines continue material that began on the previous page or are by themselves, so precede the opening no-wrap with a blank line; the Post-Processor will see all the pages and adjust them as needed. Of course, in a real project, if you had done the previous page or were willing to peek at it, you might know for sure whether or not that blank line is needed.
084
It's easy to make an elementary mistake on an easy page like this one: the only formatting occurs near the bottom, and there are two separate names in italics; the word "or" between them is upright.
085
The indented text on the page, surrounded by extra white space, obviously is a block; since each line begins with a capital letter, it's verse, so it should be enclosed in no-wraps. There's no indentation pattern, so left-justify all of the lines.
The row of dots in the verse represents a thought break, so replace the dots with a <tb> and surround that tag with blank lines ... all within the no-wraps.
The <tb> mid-verse is a bit unusual, and having figured it out, it's necessary to refocus on the rest of the page, so that the short italicized word at the very end gets tagged, too.
086
The in-line date towards the bottom of the page is entirely in italics, and is a complete sentence, so the period goes INSIDE the tags.
The smaller text at the bottom of the page is a footnote ... a continuation footnote ... so tag it that way, with an asterisk preceding the opening left bracket and no footnote number or letter inside; just a colon and space after the keyword.
087
The in-line date near the top of the page is entirely in italics, and is a complete sentence, so the period goes INSIDE the tags.
The footnote anchor and reference are numeric, so use those numbers.
Footnotes often are in smaller type than the rest of the book, so it's harder to see italics or small-caps within them.
088
The Project Comments, reproduced at the top of the page, advised us to look for gesperrt as well as italics. If your eye is not trained for gesperrt, it's often hard to notice it, so looking through such pages slowly and carefully is even more necessary than usual.
The smaller text at the bottom of the page is a footnote ... a continuation footnote ... so tag it that way, with an asterisk preceding the opening left bracket and no footnote number or letter inside; just a colon and space after the keyword.
089
Several words and phrases in italics on this page, and two footnotes.
The footnotes use symbols, and the Proofers replaced all of them with asterisks. During Formatting, we replace those symbols sequentially with "A", "B", etc., using the same letters in the anchors and the corresponding references.
Footnotes often are in smaller type than the rest of the book, so it's harder to see italics or small-caps within them.

Indicate illustrations with the [Illustration] tag and place them between paragraphs if there are such breaks on the page. This illustration has no caption, so use the simple form of the tag, removing the generated colon.
