Part 2

Paragraph Spacing/Indenting

Do not indent the start of paragraphs; instead put a blank line between paragraphs.

End-of-line Hyphenation

Where a hyphen appears at the end of a line, join the two halves of the hyphenated word back together. If it is really a hyphenated word like well-meaning, join the two halves leaving the hyphen in-between. But if it was just hyphenated because it wouldn't fit on the line, and is not a word that is usually hyphenated, then join the two halves and remove the hyphen. Keep the joined word on the top line, and put a line break after it to preserve the line formatting--this makes it easier for the 2nd Round Proofreader. If it's the last word in a sentence and is followed by punctuation, then carry that punctuation onto the top line, too.

Em-dashes & long dashes. These serve as separators between words--sometimes for emphasis like this--or when a speaker gets a word caught in his throat--! Proofread these as two hyphens. Don't leave a space before or after, even if it looks like there was a space in the original book image.
Note: If a dash appears at the start or end of a line of your OCR'd text, join it with the other line so that there are no spaces or line breaks around it. Only if the author used a dash to start or end the paragraph or line of poetry or dialog should you leave it at the start or end of a line.

End-of-page Hyphenation

Leave the hyphen at the end of the last line, but mark it with a * after the hyphen so the post-processor will notice it. On pages that start with part of a word from the previous page, place a * before the word.
