| Spelling,
caps, punctuation |
|
Original spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of the
work cited are retained with exceptions as noted below. |
| Questionable
spelling |
|
When every letter cannot be clearly deciphered, standard spelling
is assumed. However, if the author customarily uses a certain non-standard
spelling, that spelling is used. |
| Proper
names |
|
Proper names are standardized. In some cases
the original spelling is noted in the marginalia. |
| Paragraphing |
|
Original paragraphing of the work cited is denoted by the
¶ symbol. Breaks without this symbol are the webmaster's. Many
nineteenth-century documents do not use paragraphing at all. |
| Block quotes |
|
A yellow bar marks quoted text. |
| Missing/indecipherable |
|
Missing and indecipherable text is represented by one hyphen
for each word in brackets: [--]. Sometimes the number of words can only
be estimated. |
| Page
numbers |
|
Bracketed numbers such as [6] specify the page number of
the work quoted or paraphrased. The number occurs at the beginning of the
page. |
| |
|
When the original document is not paginated, page breaks
are indicated by page numbers in braces, such as {4}. Examples: all
issues of the Evening and Morning Star volume 1 and the first
twelve issues of volume 2 are not paginated. The {4} notation marks
the beginning of the fourth page of an issue. In transcripts of Book of
Commandments, Law and Covenants, Book A, B, or C, {4} marks the beginning
of the fourth page of a revelation. |
| Editor's
text |
|
[Bracketed text] is the editor's. |
| Canceled |
|
Canceled text is enclosed in braces: {the}. |
| Inserted
