Blank Page

Commentaires, suggestions :

Format as [Blank Page] if both the text and the image are blank.

If there is text in the formatting text area and a blank image, or if there is text in the image but none in the text box, follow the directions for a Bad Image or Bad Text.


Front/Back Title Page

Commentaires, suggestions :

Format all the text just as it was printed on the page, whether all capitals, upper and lower case, etc., including the years of publication or copyright.

Older books often show the first letter as a large ornate graphic—format this as just the letter.

Table of Contents

Commentaires, suggestions :

Format the Table of Contents just as it is printed in the book, whether all capitals, upper and lower case, etc. and surround it with /* and */. Leave a blank line between these markers and the rest of the text. The markers will ensure the individual lines are not rewrapped during post-processing, and will draw the attention of the post-processor in some unusual cases.

Page number references should be placed at least six spaces past the end of the text. Remove any periods or asterisks (leaders) used to align the page numbers.

Indexes

Commentaires, suggestions :

Surround the index with /* and */ tags, leaving a blank line between these markers and the rest of the text. The markers will ensure the individual lines are not rewrapped during post-processing. You don't need to align the numbers as they appear in the image; just put a comma followed by the page numbers.

Indexes are often printed in 2 columns; this narrower space can cause entries to split onto the next line. Rejoin these back onto a single line. This may create long lines, but they will be rewrapped to the proper width and indentation during post-processing.

Place one blank line before each entry in the index. For sub-topic listings in an index, start each one on a new line, indented 2 spaces.

Treat each new section in an index (A, B, C...) the same as a section heading by placing 2 blank lines before it.

Please check the Project Comments as the Project Manager may request different formatting, such as treating the index like a Table of Contents instead.

Plays: Actor Names/Stage Directions

Commentaires, suggestions :

For all plays:

  • Format cast listings (Dramatis Personæ) as lists.
  • Treat each new Act the same as a chapter heading by placing 4 blank lines before it and 2 after.
  • Treat each new Scene the same as a section heading by placing 2 blank lines before it.
  • In dialog, treat a change in speaker as a new paragraph, with one blank line between.
  • Format actor names as they are in the original image, whether they are italics, bold, or all capital letters.
  • Stage directions are formatted as they are in the original image, so if the stage direction is on a line by itself, format it that way; if it is at the end of a line of dialog, leave it there; if it is right-justified at the end of a line of dialog, leave at least six spaces between the dialog and the stage directions.
    Stage directions often begin with an opening bracket and omit the closing bracket. This convention is retained; do not close the brackets. Italics markup is generally placed inside the brackets.

For metrical plays (plays written as poetry):

  • Many plays are metrical, and like poetry should not be rewrapped. Surround metered text with /* and */ as for poetry. If stage directions are on their own line, do not surround these with /* and */. (Since stage directions are not metrical, and can be safely rewrapped in the PP stage, they should not be contained within the /* */ tags that protect the metrical dialog.)
  • Preserve relative indenting of dialog when a single metrical line is shared by more than one speaker.
  • Rejoin metrical lines that were split due to width restrictions of the paper, just as in poetry. If the continuation is only a word or so, it is often shown on the line above or below following a (, rather than having a line of its own. See the example.

Please check the Project Comments, as the Project Manager may specify different formatting.

Has not his name for nought, he will be trode upon:

You shall have perfect Books now in a twinkling.

<i>Lap.</i> These marks are ugly.

<i>Clow.</i> He says, Sir, they're proper:
Blows should have marks, or else they are nothing worth.

<i>La.</i> But why a Peel-crow here?

<i>Clow.</i> I told 'em so Sir:
A scare-crow had been better.

<i>Lap.</i> How slave? look you, Sir,
Did not I say, this <i>Whirrit</i>, and this <i>Bob</i>,
Should be both <i>Pica Roman</i>.

<i>Clow.</i> So said I, Sir, both <i>Picked Romans</i>,
And he has made 'em <i>Welch</i> Bills,
Indeed I know not what to make on 'em.

<i>Lap.</i> Hay-day; a <i>Souse</i>, <i>Italica</i>?

<i>Clow.</i> Yes, that may hold, Sir,
<i>Souse</i> is a <i>bona roba</i>, so is <i>Flops</i> too.

ACT THE THIRD.


<sc>Scene I.</sc>

/*
<sc>Chrem.</sc> 'Tis now just daybreak.--Why delay I then
To call my neighbor forth, and be the first
To tell him of his son's return?--The youth,
I understand, would fain not have it so.
But shall I, when I see this poor old man
Afflict himself so grievously, by silence
Rob him of such an unexpected joy,
When the discov'ry can not hurt the son?
No, I'll not do't; but far as in my pow'r
Assist the father. As my son, I see,
Ministers to th' occasions of his friend,
Associated in counsels, rank, and age,
So we old men should serve each other too.

<sc>Scene II.</sc>

<i>Enter</i> <sc>Menedemus</sc>.

/*
<sc>Mene.</sc> (<i>to himself</i>). Sure I'm by nature form'd for misery
Beyond the rest of humankind, or else
'Tis a false saying, though a common one,
"That time assuages grief." For ev'ry day
My sorrow for the absence of my son
Grows on my mind: the longer he's away,
The more impatiently I wish to see him,
The more pine after him.

<sc>Chrem.</sc> But he's come forth. (<i>Seeing</i> <sc>Menedemus</sc>.)
Yonder he stands. I'll go and speak with him.
Good-morrow, neighbor! I have news for you;
Such news as you'll be overjoy'd to hear.
