[edit]
  • Use curly “ ” ‘ ’ quotes/proper apostrophes. Hit the "transcribe text" button to get them automatically.
  • Page headers are fiddly: {{rh|PAGENUM|THE TOLL OF THE BUSH|{{x-smaller|CH.}}}} for even and {{rh|{{x-smaller|{{roman|CHAPTERNUM}}}}|CHAPTERNAME|PAGENUM}} for odd pages. With a complication that if the chapter ends on an even page, the roman chapter number is included as well. I haven't worked out how to set this up in the index header yet.
  • chapter headings are {{c|{{larger|CHAPTER III}}{{br}}{{asc|PLOUGHING THE LAND}}}}; first word of the chapter is in {{sc|Smallcaps}}
  • Some pages have references for te reo words and pronunciation; use {{smallrefs}}
  • Sometimes the scan loses emdashes—

@IdiotSavant: Do you want us to always use {{‘“}} and {{”’}}? So far while validating I've gotten rid of them, but I'm wondering whether it's a good idea or not. Duckmather (talk) 00:09, 7 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure if I've been consistent or not; since you're validating, you decide, and I'll go back and check the pages I validated. IdiotSavant (talk) 01:26, 7 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
I'm tentatively getting rid of them. Duckmather (talk) 02:54, 7 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
