Typography

How to format a page to match the original typography. See Help:Beginner's guide to typography for an overview.

Examples

Ellaborate typography

• Page:Congressional Record Volume 81 Part 3.djvu/1
• Page:Popular Science Monthly Volume 25.djvu/155
• Page:A discourse upon the origin and foundation of the inequality among mankind (IA discourseuponori00rous).pdf/7
• The Battle of Dorking
• A discourse upon the origin and foundation of the inequality among mankind/Question

How-tos

• Q: Lower one of header or footer's left, center or right parts in relation to the others
  • A: Use <br> (the headers/footers are built as tables, so each part is a cell). Examples: 1, 2.

Templates

See more at Category:Formatting templates, Category:Typography templates, etc.

• {{sc}}: small caps
• {{uc}}: uppercase
• {{font-size}}: useful as a complement to {{smaller}}, {{larger}}, {{x-larger}}, {{xx-larger}}, etc.
• {{!lb}}: line break (only shown in the Page namespace)
• {{hw}}, {{hws}}, {{hwe}}: for hyphenated words (only shown in the Page namespace)
• {{sp}}: letter spacing (useful in combination with uppercase or small caps). Hardcoded, non-customizable spacing of 0.15em. For custom spacing, use {{lsp}}.
• {{serif}} and other typeface templates
• {{old style}}: for numbers with descenders (doesn't seem to work in Firefox for serif font family)
• {{custom rule}}, {{***}} and {{separator}}: for ornaments / horizontal rulers (they support a |char parameter which can be combined with dingbats)
• {{gap}}, {{line-height}} and {{DoubleHeightRow}} for adding blank space
• {{SIC}}
• {{nop}} and {{peh}}: paragraph break or hyphen at end of page (these usually get removed when pages are transcluded to the main namespace to produce flowing text)
• {{illegible}}, {{redact}} and {{reconstruct}}
