Chapter synopsis

Many chapter headings include a synopsis of the contents of the chapter. In this case, the synopsis is in italics. It isn't a normal inline list, so don't tag each item separately with the em-dashes outside the italics; put the entire synopsis inside one set of tags.

Chapter headings

New chapter, so precede with four blank lines and leave two blank lines between the chapter headings and the body.

Footnotes

To avoid conflict with normal footnote anchors, the project comments asked the proofreaders to enclose internal references such as [23] in curly braces {23}.

Hanging indents

The chapter synopsis has a hanging indent, so enclose it in block quotes to let the post-processor know it needs special handling.
