Proofreading guidelines

"Memorandum" pages

• There are some pages where are blank but for the word "Memorandum" at the top, followed by a horizontal line. These were intended for the reader to take notes. Delete any OCR'd text and mark these pages "Without Text."
• Example: 14

Chapter heading

• Chapter titles were written using a "stencil" look. Don't try to copy that. Just make it {{x-larger}}, {{center}}, and bold.
• Some of the chapters have a brief quote or poem before the chapter title. Use {{center}} and {{fine}} for these; if they span multiple lines, {{center block}} and {{fine block}} are the preferred variants.
• Include a {{dhr|2em}} at the top of the page, between the quote and title (if applicable), and between the title and the first recipe. Recipe spacing should remain per guidelines below.
• Example: 15

Recipes

• If the page starts with a new recipe, put a {{dhr}} at the top before the name of the recipe. This will preserve the spacing when the recipes are transcluded.
• The recipe title should be {{center}}, {{larger}} and bold.
• Ingredients:

• Include a blank line (not a {{dhr}}) between the title and the ingredients list.
• Do not preserve the two-column formatting. List ingredients, as written, in a single column using the {{plainlist}} template. The left column should be listed first, followed by the right column. If there is a centered ingredient, it goes last.
• Ingredients should be bolded.
• Include a blank line (not a {{dhr}}) between the ingredients list and the recipe instructions.

• If there are multiple recipes on a page, put a blank line and a {{dhr}} between them.
• Examples: 12, 13

Sample

Here is an example transcription of a page containing two recipes. Note the following:

• the leading {{dhr}} at the top
• the newline, followed by a {{dhr}} between recipes
• the newline between the recipe title and the ingredients list
• the newline between the ingredients list and the instructions
• the {{nop}} at the bottom.

Cover and keep warm until risen enough. Butter pans, make into loaves, let rise again and bake in hot oven about three-fourths of an hour.
