TypeWright Correction Questions and Answers RSS

Posted by Locker.Thaddeus on Oct 10, 2013 02:20PM

As a beginner in TypeWright, I have lots of questions!  As a folklore scholar, I have questions about the conventions and accepted/best practices for correcting these printed-text items. 
Let us use this as a forum to discuss things like "Is it more helpful for the '@' to replace each garbled letter, or to substitute for the entire word?"  In fact, look for that question as the first thread!

Is it more helpful for the '@' to replace each garbled letter, or to substitute for the entire word?

Question #1 From Angela Vietto:
Will the crowd-sourced corrected texts make their way back to ECCO, or wherever they came from, or will they only be available here?

Question #2 from Angela Vietto:
When is the text "done"--are we having two or three people check a line before it's "100%"?  I found a few lines that had been checked by someone but still needed obvious corrections.

What conventions are we following?

Question # 4 from Angela Vietto:
If there is a space between a quotation mark or an exclamation point, are we honoring it?  (I've done a few pages and went ahead and kept them.)

Question #5 from Angela Vietto:
Are we keeping catch-words at the bottom of the page or not?

Question #6 from Angela Vietto:
How [do we deal with] signature markings?

Question #7 from Angela Vietto:
What do we do with pages featuring illustrations?  The Plenipotentiary has at least one.

The above are questions from Angela Vietto posted as a comment on the 18thConnect news blog (see her original post at http://www.18thconnect.org/news/?p=417), many of which I have myself. 

I will research the site-specific technical questions (#1 and #2) and post the answers when I get them.  As for the editing questions, I look forward to the discussions!
