Accents

The place names and proper nouns in this work occasionally contain accented characters. These characters use the standard Latin accented vowels that are commonly found in Latin-based languages: áéíóú. Proof-read these letters and words as they appear in the text.

If using the 'source editor', a grid of usable characters can be found by clicking the 'Special characters' link in the editor toolbar. This will open a drawer with clickable characters that will be inserted into the editing window.

Sidenotes

This work contains sidenotes. This is text that appears in the left or right margins of the work. In this text, these sidenotes serve as chapter and section headers.

The first sidenote on a page is the chapter number and title. In other works, this is traditionally in the header and is not transcluded into the mainspace. Similarly, in this work, this sidenote should not be transcluded, but still should be proofread. To accomplish this, transcribe the side note as usual, and wrap it in <noinclude></noinclude> tags.

Here is an example for a chapter heading sidenote. Note the outer <noinclude></noinclude> tags that surround the template:

<noinclude>{{right sidenote|{{c|{{sc|{{larger|CHAP. I.}}<br>General Description.}}}}}}</noinclude>

The other sidenotes on the page serve as section 'headers', and will appear alongside the paragraph which begins the new section. These should be transcribed normally as they appear. Note that some of these sidenotes use small-caps for formatting -- the {{sc}} template can be used to format these sidenotes appropriately.

Sidenotes can be transcribed using the following templates:

• Header: {{sidenotes begin}}
• Footer: {{sidenotes end}}
• Sidenote in left margin: {{left sidenote}}
• Sidenote in right margin: {{right sidenote}}

(If the page looks funny after you add sidenotes, make sure that you remembered the {{sidenotes begin}} and {{sidenotes end}} templates in the header and footer.)

General guidance on sidenotes can be found on the help page: Help:Sidenotes.
