Paragraphs and other matters
Just had a quick look at Page:Twenty Thousand Verne Frith 1876.pdf/340‎, which you worked on earlier. We mark paragraph breaks by putting an extra linebreak between them. If we don't do this, then the software thinks it's all one long string of text. To mark text as italics we surround it with pairs of ' characters. This makes Nautilus come out as Nautilus. (To make text bold, use three ' on both sides.) The other thing I notice on this page is extra space before punctuation like semicolons, colons , and right quote marks (”). We take the spaces out before these (and the extra space after “) so that we have a standard presentation. This is regardless of whether the printer has included a little bit of space or not.
