Footnote

“ To achieve faithful reproduction of indented excerpt material (particularly legal work) containing original footnotes, these footnotes are also indented and placed at the bottom of the excerpt, separated by 6 points of space. No side dash is used. Reference numbers are not changed to fit the numbering sequence of text footnotes.
15.9.
Footnotes must always begin on the page where they are referenced. If the entire footnote will not fit on the page where it is cited, it will be continued at the bottom of the next page. [1]
15.10. ”

“ The footnote contains a footnote. I tried putting the within the footnote, but got an error message. I decided to just put the second within brackets. Do you have a better solution?
There is a second page soon after with a different problem: Page:The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, Volume 8.djvu/419. In the last paragraph are several words in italics. Most are no problem, but a couple start with an apostrophe. When I leave the apostrophe in, everything turns bold. In the end, I put the nowiki code around the apostrophe, but that seems a bit clunky. Is that the best way to do it? ”

“ All footnotes have been moved to the chapter or sub-chapter ends and cross-links provided EXCEPTING the footnote at the end of Tyrolese Sonnet VI, which has been placed immediatly after the sonnet though the chapter continues and other succeeding footnotes appear at the end.
In the original text the printer used multiple periods to push single and multiple word "Variants" into the place in the notes where they occured in the poem. In this e-text a single ellipsis (...) is used to represent positioning of preceeding and succeeding words. ”

“ It is better to cancel the letters or figures and write them in the margin in the order in which they are to appear.
2.81.
To assure proper placement of footnotes, the proofreader and reviser must draw a ring around footnote references on the proofs, then check off each corresponding footnote number.
2.82.
Proofreaders must not make important changes in indentions or tables without consulting the referee.
2.83.
The marks of the copy preparer will be followed, as he or she is in a position to know more about the peculiarities of a job than one who reads but a small portion of it. ”

“ When a table is part of quoted matter, quotation marks will open on each centerhead and each footnote paragraph, and if table is end of quoted matter, quotation marks close at end of footnotes. If there are no footnotes and the table is the end of the quotation, quotation marks close at end of last item. ”

“ Notes indexed with both a number and a letter, for example [4.B.] , are end-notes provided by Byron or, following Canto IV, by J. C. Hobhouse. These end-notes follow each Canto.
Both the verse and the end-notes have footnotes, which are indicated by small raised keys in brackets; these are links to the footnote's text. Footnotes indexed with arabic numbers (e.g. [17] , [221] ) are informational. Footnotes indexed with letters (e.g. [c] , [bf] ) document variant forms of the text from manuscripts and other sources. ”

“ Thanks for all your help by the way. --Jfhutson (talk) 14:48, 4 March 2013 (UTC) OK. Let's look at the various possibilities as they show up in other works in the main space. That way you can see what's currently possible.1. Short pages with footnotes; see Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume I/POLYCARP/Epistle to the Philippians and its chapter subpages. If we stay with this option, then the footnotes need tweaking to show where one reference has ended and the next starts. Maybe with ; between. I really noticed this as a problem when looking at the transclusion on your user page.
2. Sidenotes ”

“ In a reading column, it is set at the left in parentheses and is followed by leaders, but in the last column it is followed by a period, as if it were a word. In a symbol column it is set at the left and cleared.
13.75.
Numbered footnotes are placed immediately beneath the table. If a sign or letter reference in the heading of a table is to be followed, it is not changed to become the first numbered reference mark. The footnote to it precedes all other footnotes. The remaining footnotes in a table will follow this sequence: footnotes (numbers, letters, or symbols) ; Note.—; then Source:. ”

“ Changes in the text of notes have not the same importance to posterity, as changes in the text of poems. In the preface to the Prose Works, reference will be made to Wordsworth's alterations of his text. At present I refer only to his own notes to his Poems. When they were written as footnotes to the page, they remain footnotes still. When they were placed by him as prefaces to his Poems, they retain that place in this edition; but when they were appendix notes—as e.g. in the early editions of "Lyrical Ballads"—they are now made footnotes to the Poems they illustrate. ”

“ Footnotes should be put at the bottom of the page, or separated from the text by lines running across the page above and below each note. In handwritten manuscripts, notes may be written with ink of a different color. ”

“ Sometimes all notes are accumulated as lists at the end of the book.
Footnotes are often indicated by numbers or typographical symbols: such as the section §, the Pilcrow or paragraph mark ¶, the single and double daggers † ‡, and the asterisk *. ”

“ Where omission of terminal punctuation causes confusion; e.g., the symbol in (inch) mistaken for the preposition in, the symbol should be spelled out.
9.4.
Standard and easily understood forms are preferable, and they should be uniform throughout a job. Abbreviations not generally known should be followed in the text by the spelled-out forms in parentheses the first time they occur; in tables and leaderwork such explanatory matter should be supplied in a footnote. As the printer cannot rewrite the copy, the author should supply these explanatory forms. ”

“ If it's going to be subpaged, then footnotes as we've been doing them are fine because the pages won't be long. However, if you're thinking of a single page, then we could explore sidenotes. I see my role here as helping you achieve the look you want rather than telling you what to do. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 04:31, 4 March 2013 (UTC) I think the chapters are too short to have a single page each. I tried adding template:LR sidenote to one of the pages, but the notes all ran into one another. ”

“ There 18. p. 184, chieflly --> chiefly 19. p. 187, esitmate --> estimate 20. p. 194, serivce --> service 21. p. 223, Footnote #30, Drewery -->Drewry 22. p. 243, Leglistature --> Legislature 23. p. 263, Signé) --> (Signé) 24. p. 273, Footnote #5, Loftt --> Lofft 25. p. 273, Footnote #10, Holdworth's --> Holdsworth's 26. p. 276, Longueil --> Longueuil 27. p. 277, Two footnote markers #15 are found on page 277. As footnote #15 appears on the previous page, the ones on page 277 have been numbered #16 to match footnote text. 28. p. 280, Duplicate footnote markers for footnote #18 29. p. ”

“ The use of the word 'note,' in the singular number, instead of 'notes,' is so palpable a slip of the pen, that its use, although furnishing an opportunity for cavil, could not be said to create an ambiguity on the face of the instrument, or leave any doubt as to its true intent in the mind of any one who will read the whole of it together, and has no intent or desire to pervert it. ”

“ In the case of open score (a single part on one stave) , they are best placed on the side opposite the stem.
Time-dots, or those which prolong a note one half, if applied to a note in a space, should be in the same space as the note; if applied to a note on a line they should be placed in the space above, if the next note of the part is higher, and in the space below if it is lower. The importance of this usage is often overlooked. If it cannot be called a rule, it is high time it was made one! ”

“ The Pages.—If a paragraph would normally begin on the last line of a page, leave the line blank and start the new paragraph on a fresh sheet of paper. One may not write on more than one side of a sheet, not even if there are only two or three words to go on the next page. In the offices of the big dailies each sheet is cut into takes, numbered consecutively, and sent to as many different compositors. Irremediable confusion would be caused for a foreman who tried to handle copy written on both sides, for each take would contain a part of some other compositor's copy. ”

“ Seen flying higher against a cloudy sky, they look like snowflakes. When they rise all together, their note is like the rattling of nuts in a bag, as if a whole bin-full were rolled from side to side. They also utter from time to time, that is, individuals do, a clear rippling note, perhaps an alarm or call. It is remarkable that their note, above described, should resemble the lesser red-polls'. Away goes the great wheeling, rambling flock, rolling through the air, and you cannot easily tell where they will settle. ”

“ In short, they recognise the features of a foot-mark just as we do those of the countenance; and as they are clearly defined, or obliterated, as the minute blades of grass are crashed down, or erecting themselves again, can they tell how long since the person passed. ”

“ It was not a negative of a drawing [Pg 571] of yours, but of a Russian twenty-rouble note!
"HE BEGAN TALKING SOFTLY AND RAPIDLY."
"This was a discovery. The only possible reason any man could have for photographing a bank-note was the manufacture of an etched plate for the production of forged copies. I was almost as pleased as I had been at the discovery of your negatives. He might bring the police now as soon as he liked; I could turn the tables on him completely. ”

“ The foot corresponds in English verse to what has been described in Chapter I as the rhythmic unit of all rhythms, namely that which recurs in regular sequence. It comprises, therefore, a point of emphasis and all that occupies the time-distance between that point of emphasis and the following one. In other words, a foot is a section of speech-rhythm containing a stressed element and an unstressed element, usually one or two unaccented syllables. So much is clear and undisputed in theory. ”

“ For centuries the writing-desk has contained sheets fit precisely for the communications of friends. Masters of language, poets of long ages, have turned from the sheet that endures to the sheet that perishes, pushing aside the tea-tray, drawing close to the fire (for letters are written when the dark presses round a bright red cave) , and addressed themselves to the task of reaching, touching, penetrating the individual heart. ”

“ Fat— Composition which has many broken lines and open spaces; matter with many quads and leads, which can be set profitably by piece-work. Sometimes spelled phat in printers’ literature. Fat-face— A style of type face with very much thickened heavy lines; sometimes full-face. First Proof— The proof taken for correcting compositor’s errors, in distinction from revise, author’s proof, or subsequent proofs. Floor Pi— Type dropped on the floor and allowed to remain until swept up. Folio— A page number. Also, a sheet folded once, a size of paper, a sheet containing a certain number of words. ”

“ He is like a painter, who can draw the portrait of a man who has a wen upon his face, and who, therefore, is easily known. If a man hops upon one leg, Foote can hop upon one leg [455] . But he has not that nice discrimination which your friend seems to possess. Foote is, however, very entertaining, with a kind of conversation between wit and buffoonery [456] .'
On Monday, March 23, I found him busy, preparing a fourth edition of his folio Dictionary. Mr. Peyton, one of his original amanuenses, was writing for him. ”

“ Not long, however, did those protecting fingers retain their hold, for as the slumbers of the unconscious man grew more intense his grasp relaxed, and the hand falling inertly by his side, the precious paper was left exposed—a considerable portion of the roll of notes actually protruding from the pocket of their slumbering owner. ”

“ Another wishes a poem—not on a death in the Royal Family—to be printed, if possible, between the summary and the first leader; a third reminds the managing editor that when sub-editor of the provincial paper eleven years before, he inserted a letter on the disgraceful state of the footpath on one of the local thoroughfares, and hopes that, now that the same gentleman is at the head of a great metropolitan organ, he will assist him, his correspondent, in the good work which has been inaugurated. The footpath is as bad as ever, he explains. ”

“ This device makes the note-book readily available for hasty review or for more extended study.
READING NOTES.—The question of full or scanty notes arises in reading notes as in lecture notes. In general, your notes should represent a summary, in your own words, of the author's discussion, not a duplication of it. Students sometimes acquire the habit of reading single sentences at a time, then of writing them down, thinking that by making an exact copy of the book, they are playing safe. This is a pernicious practice; it spoils continuity of thought and application. ”

“ In a folio book one of every pair of leaves should have a watermark in the middle of the paper. In a quarto some pairs of leaves will have no watermark; in others it will be found divided by the fold of the paper. As the great majority of books without printed signatures are in folio or quarto, the sequence of watermarked and un-watermarked leaves, if carefully worked out, will mostly reveal the “make-up” of the successive gatherings. ”

“ Our Ti Kroner forger must have been a very versatile genius.
The simplicity which is characteristic of not a few of the inhabitants of Britain and the readiness with which some people are taken in are well illustrated by New Scotland Yard's collection of flash notes. Flash notes are generally carried by the members of that fraternity who delight in showing you what is known as the three-card trick, or by persons who wish, for some particular reasons of their own, to inspire your confidence in them, and lead you to trust in their keeping for half an hour or so your money, watch, or what not. ”
