Headers and footers

These have been set up to automatically include {{sidenotes begin}} and {{sidenotes end}}. On pages which have no sidenotes these should be deleted. Use {{left sidenote|}} and {{right sidenote|}} as appropriate for the sidenotes

Long s

Do not replicate the long 's' (it's just an 's'). It makes proofreading extremely difficult and reading of the text tiresome. Retain all other text as printed (e.g. spelling, use of u for v, etc.) Chrisguise (talk) 11:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

@Tylopous {{ye2}} produces slightly better results y͏ͤ. Languageseeker (talk) 19:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Thank you. I'll try it out on a page I proofread just a few minutes ago.Tylopous (talk) 19:46, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Further Abbreviation Templates

The following templates can be used for abbreviations found in the text: {{yt}} (abbr. for that),{{wt}} (abbr. for with), {{wc}} (abbr. for which).Tylopous (talk) 11:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Font

For the text in black-letter font, use {{blpo}} (so it won’t appear after transclusion).

@TE(æ)A,ea.: Thank you. I wasn't aware of this template. I can make the necessary template changes during the proofreading process.--Tylopous (talk) 17:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Blackletter in sidenotes

It seems one should leave out specification of {{bl}} or {{blpo}} in sidenotes. If one specifies it in the sidenotes (additionally to the text around it), then it seems the sidenotes get a larger font size compared to the version where one just has {{blpo}} for the surrounding text and no template inside the sidenote. This latter variant seems to produce a font size closer to the one in the original text.--Tylopous (talk) 17:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
