Correcting a page consists in correcting the typos and OCR errors
and adding a bit of markup as needed. For example,
<p> is used for
paragraphs and <i>...</i> for italics. The HTML
should be kept simple. The page will be proofread later, but you
should still try to find all the errors.
Page headers. Delete any page header, footer, page number, etc.
Delete the opening <P> unless the page starts with a
new paragraph. Start straight out with the text. Similarly, delete
any trailing </P> unless a paragraph ends at the bottom of a page.
Headings, titles, etc. Use <h1>...</h1>,
<h2>, <h3>, etc. as appropriate.
E.g.<h2>Chapter I. Title...</h2>
Footnotes. If the page has a footnotes, correct
the footnote text and put it in a <note> element.
Then move the whole note element to the point where the footnote
marker appears. For example, this sentence ends with a
footnote.<note>The body of the footnote (which you
are reading now) will appear at the bottom of the
page.</note> The note will show up correctly in the
HTML version.
Centering. To center a single paragraph or other element, you
can use <p class="Center">. If you want to center a
large section, such as the title page, you can use <div
class="Center">...[lots of stuff here]...</div>.
Fancier things. Any HTML (or ThML) can be used, but keep it as simple as possible. There is currently no support for on-line editing of a document stylesheet, but we might add it if it seems necessary.
When you are done correcting the page, check the "Whole page corrected" option and click "Update page". You will see it displayed as a web page; you can go back and make more corrections if necessary.
