Proofreading guidelines edit
In the proofreading of all volumes (1864, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 1900, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23),
- <h1> has been reserved for the book's title,
- <h2> has been used for chapter headings, e.g. country names
- <h3> has been used for section headings, such as "Government", "Instruction", and "Books of Reference". Most of these appear in the table of contents.
- <h4> has been used for subsection headings with small-caps, such as "Railways". Most of these don't appear in the table of contents. Rule of thumb: If it is small-caps, it's probably <h4>.
- <h5> has been used for sub-subsection or table headings written in all capital letters or italics.
Chapters for transclusion are individual countries (<h2> headings), such as Abyssinia, but for the United States each <h3> heading (such as Newspapers) has been transcluded separately.
- Typographic details
- Decimal fractions use a middle point (8·93) but this is proofread as a normal period (8.93).
- Monetary values are written 14l. 5s. 7d. with a lowercase "L, S, D" in italics immediately following the number, but this is proofread as 14 £ 5 s. 7 d. with a whitespace between numbers and units. British currency before 1971 used L = £ = pound (Latin libra); S = shilling (Latin solidus) = 1/20 pound; D = pence (Latin denarius) = 1/12 shilling.
