{{Help me}}
Hello just my proofread my first (and probaly one of few) pages: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Nostromo_(1904).djvu/15 I did no changes at it was perfect, but had a question if anyone could answer it (as i found no definitive answer in the help pages).
- Should the page be a near perfect copy with line breaks as the photocopy?
- For instance the photocopy of the above mentioned page should i have stopped each sentence at the word that breaks the line or is that completely unessecery?
Thanks Asabiyya (talk) 16:25, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- The line breaks in the original print are an artefact of the printing process being constrained to the width of the paper. Because readers here will be reading on a range of screen sizes it's best to remove the line breaks. This allows the text to flow across whatever width the reader is seeing on their screen.
