Proofreading guidelines
[edit]In general, this book has very good OCR. Be careful that when number ranges are given, the dash should be an "n" dash, not a hyphen. (Eg. this: –, not - or —.) Fractions should be expressed using the appropriate symbol, eg. ½ instead of 1/2. If no symbol is available, only then use the numeral/numeral format. (This should not happen, but in case it does...)
Please try to follow these guidelines for formatting different parts of this text so that we can have a consistent looking product with minimal effort.
Side notes
[edit]The introductory chapters have sidenotes. Proofread these as follows:
- In the header, put {{sidenotes begin}}
- If the sidenote is on the right, use {{right sidenote|Sidenote text}}; otherwise if on the left use {{LR sidenote|Sidenote text}}. NOTE that it's not left sidenote!
- In the footer, put {{sidenotes end}}
Proofread the sidenote text and only keep bold/italic formatting. Ignore font sizes, line breaks, alignment, etc. So even if the side note is broken into three lines in the scan, don't try to use <br> to force a break.
The {{sidenotes begin}}/{{sidenotes end}} templates should only go in the header and footer. They are not needed in the main namespace, so will not be transcluded.

Recipes
[edit]Recipes consist of 3 parts: a title, an ingredient list, and instructions. Sometimes the ingredient list is omitted.
- The Title
- Put a {{dhr}} before the recipe title even if it's the first thing on the page.
- The title should be {{center}} and {{larger}} and bold.
- Leave a blank line between the title and the ingredient list (if present)
- The Ingredient List
- Put in a {{center block}}
- Each ingredient should be on its own line
- Use a <br>, not a blank line, to separate the ingredients
- Put a {{dhr}} after the instructions.
- The Instructions
- Instructions are in paragraph form; parse them like you would any other paragraph.

Example recipes:
{{dhr}}
{{c|{{larger|'''WATER-ICES'''}}}}
Express the juice from any fruit, dilute it with a little water, or leave it pure, make it very sweet with sugar, or, preferably, sugar syrup, and add a very little lemon juice. Freeze the mixture.
Syrup from preserve-jars, diluted to the right degree, makes good water-ice.
Water-ices are difficult to mold, so it is better to serve them in glasses or in individual dishes.
{{dhr}}
{{c|{{larger|'''LEMON ICE'''}}}}
{{center block|Juice of four large lemons,<br>
Juice of one orange,<br>
2½ cupfuls of sugar.}}
{{dhr}}
Boil the sugar and water for ten minutes, then add the fruit juice, strain it, and when it is cold freeze it.
Index pages
[edit]- Do not try to proofread this in column form. Proofread the left column first, then the right column.
- We are using a very long bulleted list to proofread the index, within a {{plainlist}}. When proofreading a page in the index, put {{plainlist/s}} in the header and {{plainlist/e}} in the footer (unless you're doing the first/last page.)
- The list is alphabetical and the letter is used as a heading. In the scan it is centered within the column; this looks weird so instead we're putting it as a list item in bold.
- Link the name of the recipe to the appropriate chapter and page number. Eg. [[../Chapter 2#41|Anchovy canapés]]. The "#41" links to page 41 within chapter 2. Note the "../" before the chapter link!
- Link the page number to the scan page using {{DJVU page link}}
- If the item is indented, use a colon (":") before the asterisk
