User:Gorok/PP/Checklist/Basic Fixup

In this step we search for and fix several common errors. Even though there is a tool built into Guiguts that is suppose to fix the errors it often involves manual fixing. Still the tool is very useful to find those errors.

1. Save the file. This is important to preserve an unfixed version for later comparison.
2. Run Fixup with reasonable options checked. ('Remove spaces before periods' will remove spaces in front of all ellipses too). Not all of the options will be useful for each project.
3. Run Remove end of line spaces
4. Save the file again using a different name
5. Diff the two files to check what was changed. Step through the changes and decide which ones are real errors. You can use DiffMerge to create the diffs.
6. If necessary reload the first file and use different options or incorporate the changes by hand.
