OCR
As the text is in black-letter, the original OCR was effectively useless. Consequently, I started from a transcription of the play (the 'B' text) on the 'Perseus Digital Library' website, and then proofread against the scan. The 'Perseus' transcription is from a different printed source: the main differences are around spelling, punctuation and capitalisation.

Spelling
Spelling has been preserved as printed (E&OE) except where u is used as v. In these instances, v has been substituted. Likewise i for j.

Formatting
The scanned text is almost all in black-letter script, apart from character names, which are rendered in normal font, both where the speaker is indicated and when mentioned in the text; and stage directions. As black-letter this is rather difficult to read, the transcription has been rendered as follows.


 * Character names - Bold italic
 * Stage directions - italic
 * Character names within character speeches - italic
 * Speech - normal

Layout
All pages are set up as, which since the work is continuous,  and  are in the header and footer respectively. Within each page all text is wrapped in Where speech is in rhyme/blank verse, the layout is as printed; where it isn't, the text is continuous and wraps automatically. Be guided by whether the first word of a line is capitalised or not.
