This is an old revision of the document!
Generally speaking, the aim is to get the text content exactly the same as in the PDF. However, the following changes should be made: * Page headers and footers should be removed eg January 1992 The Sydney Bushwalker Page 5 * Advertisements should be removed altogether * Images should be removed altogether (along with any text directly relating to that image) * People’s names should be corrected, if you know they are incorrect eg Ian Wolf should be Ian Wolfe * Place names should be corrected, if you know they are incorrect eg Wollangambe, not Wallangambe or Wollangambie * If a place name has a more recent, or common alternative name, add it in brackets eg Wallara Canyon [Dione Dell] * Note also that place names by convention do not have apostrophes eg Coxs River, not Cox’s River – if you find these, please correct them * Fix general spelling errors where noted * Punctuation may be corrected, but this is often a matter of taste, so only correct where it is clearly wrong * Separators such as ******** or ========= should be removed
If you would also like to format the resulting text, use the following conventions. Note that recent newsletters may have a fair bit of formatting, so some of these conventions may be difficult to follow: * Use bold in place of underlined/capitalised text * Use Heading 2 for story titles, and Heading 3 for subtitles * Use a table for the index, and any other text requiring aligned columns
