Formatting notes
edit
- This work uses curly quotes.
- This work uses the en-dash in spaces ' – ' in place of the em-dash '—' both for consistency and to aid in layout; em-dashes without spaces can result in weird line breaks. (If necessary —<wbr> can be used to allow word-breaks after the em-dash).
- Spaces before stops are removed so 'officer ;' becomes 'officer;'.
- This work has many very long and complex footnotes; including some footnotes with footnotes. While there is a workaround to handle these I am not clear that it will work with multi-page footnotes so have chosen to embed them directly in the text of the parent footnote instead in square brackets “Main footnote text . . .[footnote: text of secondary footnote] . . .”
- Some footnotes run over more than one page, they are linked with <ref name='page 999'>. . . <ref follow='page 999'.
- Footnotes with multiple paragraphs have the second paragraph in <p>. . .</p> tags, otherwise the paragraphs are merged.
- Where tables in footnotes break over pages the whole table has been added in the first page.
