Formatting
[edit]This work’s formatting is a mess. I think it will need a thorough “audit” as part of the PotM process; for example:
- Section headings need to standardised
- Quotations have been set with {{smaller}} which leaves excessive whitespace – it should changed to {{smaller block}} or {{fine block}} – the latter is easier to read.
I have been through the main namespace and updated the headers and transclusion. — Iain Bell (talk) 12:18, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Because I'm seeing a few ambiguities, I would like to clear up how the spacing between math symbols (ex: ¼, ½, ¾, ⅓, ⅔, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞). This will help keep the formatting the same throughout the work. Please respond with your insight on how this should be done.
- Here are some examples I'm referring to:
- "we went S.W, and ¼S., a matter of" — space on left
- "and the course was W.¼ N.W., and the coast" space on right
- "and went along the coast to S.W. ¼ W., a matter of 30 leagues" space on both sides
- "we saw that it trended S.E.¼S.; after that" — no space
