Columns
Do not try to repeat the two-column structure. The columns should be "unwrapped" so that the text flows normally; the text of the first column on top with the text of the second column underneath.

Hanging indent
There is no need to try to replicate the hanging indents at the start of each definition. Just transcribe the text of the definitions.

Small text
Quotations in smaller text can be created with the smaller block or smaller templates. The block version works best for larger sections as it changes the line height as well as the font size, making paragraphs look neater. For example:

If the smaller text continues across two pages, use smaller block/s and smaller block/e to begin and end the section. For example:

Some text here

Some quotations are in verse and the line breaks and indentation can be preserved by using the poem tag inside the smaller block template. For example:

Initials
Each section begins with an initial. This can be duplicated with the dropinitial template.

Images for initials can be found on Commons at Category:Dictionary of Slang, Jargon & Cant (1889).
