Library of Formatting Examples

(Italics) >>

Welcome to the Library of Formatting Examples

These examples cover formatting issues in more detail than the Formatting Guidelines. They are intended to supplement, not replace, the Guidelines. When formatting, please always follow:

1. Specific instructions from the Project Manager, Post-Processor, and Project Facilitators, even if they contradict the Guidelines and these Examples;
2. The Formatting Guidelines; and finally
3. These examples.

If you are still unsure about how to format something, please leave a [**note] for minor issues and ask in the project's discussion thread for major or repeated issues.

Changes to the LOFE

This Wiki version is still in development. Previously, the LOFE was maintained in a project-based format. For now, that format is still available and can be accessed here, but it is no longer being actively maintained or updated.

There is a changelog for the previous version of the LOFE. In the wiki version, changes should be reflected in each page's individual history.

If you would like to propose a new example or a revision to an existing example, please see LOFE:How To Make an Example.
