Putting two apostrophes (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) on both sides of <code><nowiki>The Mailer Review</nowiki></code> will italicize the journal name in the published document; like from our [[The Mailer Review/Volume 12, 2018/Reflections|example above]].

== | == Body == | ||
Here is where you translate from PDF to the wiki. Adding the body of the article will take the most effort and attention to detail, as many typos are introduced into the digital text as part of the PDF creation process. I recommend proceeding paragraph by paragraph. | |||
Open the PDF, highlight and copy a paragraph, paste the paragraph into the editing window, and proofread for errors (see '''Figs. 3–5''' below; click the images to enlarge). Common errors include hyphenated words (these will be broken words with a hypen and space), numbers, lack of necessary text decoration like italics, missing spaces, and superfluous print information like page numbers. All of these must be corrected. Use the original PDF as your guide. | |||
== End Notes == | <gallery mode=packed heights=200px> | ||
This section houses an author’s explanatory footnotes, like the “Notes” section at the bottom of this page. Notes may be inserted in the body of the text, using <code>{{tl|efn}}</code>, for example: | File:Mr-orig.jpg|'''Fig 3'''. Original PDF. Copy the paragraph. | ||
File:Mr-errors.jpg|'''Fig 4'''. Errors indicated. | |||
File:Mr-corrected.jpg|'''Fig 5'''. Errors Fixed. | |||
</gallery> | |||
Once the paragraph is finished, hit return twice (skip a line between paragraphs) and start the next one. Repeat this process until the end of the document. | |||
{{notice|Most articles that cite sources will do so using MLA style, so parenthetical citations will appear in the text. See [[#Sourcing|Sourcing]] below for instructions on translating these to shortened footnotes. For instructions on inserting explanatory endnotes, see [[#End Notes|Endnotes]].}} | |||
=== Block Quotations === | |||
Many articles use block quotation when quoting longer passages of primary texts. Just paste in the quotation like you would a paragraph, then surround it with the <code><nowiki><blockqoute> . . . </blockquote></nowiki></code> tags, for example: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
<code><nowiki><blockquote>To the savage, dread was the natural result of any invasion of the supernatural: if man wished to steal the secrets of the gods, it was only to be supposed that the gods would defend themselves and destroy whichever man came too close. By this logic, civilization is the successful if imperfect theft of some cluster of these secrets, and the price we have paid is to accelerate our private sense of some enormous if not quite definable disaster which awaits us.{{sfn|Mailer|1965|p=159}}</blockquote></nowiki></code> | |||
</blockquote> | |||
Note this quotation contains a citation; see [[#Sourcing|Sourcing]] below for an explanation. | |||

== Endnotes == | |||
This section houses an author’s explanatory endnotes or footnotes, like the “Notes” section at the bottom of this page. Notes may be inserted in the body of the text, using <code>{{tl|efn}}</code>, for example: | |||
<blockquote> | <blockquote> | ||
<code><nowiki>. . .opportunity with a "lady's magazine",{{efn|In ''Double Life'', Lennon explains that Pearl Kazin, an editor at ''Harper's Bazaar'' had invited Mailer to write something for the magazine, to which Mailer replied: "I'm still too young and too arrogant to care to write the kind of high-grade horseshit you print in ''Harper's Bazaar''" (142–43).}} Mailer conceived . . .</nowiki></code> | <code><nowiki>. . .opportunity with a "lady's magazine",{{efn|In ''Double Life'', Lennon explains that Pearl Kazin, an editor at ''Harper's Bazaar'' had invited Mailer to write something for the magazine, to which Mailer replied: "I'm still too young and too arrogant to care to write the kind of high-grade horseshit you print in ''Harper's Bazaar''" (142–43).}} Mailer conceived . . .</nowiki></code> | ||
</blockquote> | </blockquote> | ||
This note will be indicated by a superscript, small letter, like <sup>[a]</sup> —except it will be a hyperlink. Now, you must have place for these notes to be listed near the end of the document, just above the Citations section: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
<code><nowiki>== Notes ==</nowiki><br /> | |||
<nowiki>{{notelist}}</nowiki></code> | |||
</blockquote> | |||
See [[The Mailer Review/Volume 9, 2015/“Up to the Nostrils in Anguish”: Mailer and Bellow on Masculine Anxiety and Violent Catharsis|this article]] for another, more complex example. For a more thorough discussion of this function, see [[w:Template:Efn|Template:Efn]] on Wikipedia. | |||
