Transcription Conventions

Multiple Languages: If there is more than one language in the document, transcribe what you can and use the <unclear>LanguageName</unclear> for the language that you do not transcribe with the name of the language. <unclear>Hebrew</unclear>
Capitalization: Maintain original
Dates: Enclose them in the date tag. <date>1896</date>
Deletions: Use Strike.
Gap: Used for a gap in the transcription such as damage to the page or a large block of space. <gap></gap>
Heading: Used for obvious headings. <head>This is a Heading.</head> This is a Heading.
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "-" characters) at the ends of lines. If a word continues on a new line, preserve the hyphen and then follow the line breaks rule by hitting return once to indicate a new line and continue transcribing the hyphenated word.
Italics: Used for italicized text. This text is italicized This text is italicized.
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.

Superscript: Used for superscript text. xls xl^s
Subscript: Used for subscript text. xls xl_s

Strike: Used for deleted or struck through text. <strike>Morais</strike> ~~Morais~~
Unclear: Used for uncertain text. Transcriber should enter their best guess, with the option to replace individual letters with periods. <unclear>a chicin P</unclear> a chicin P
Underline: Used for underlined text. This text is underlined. This text is underlined.
