* "TEI Header" in headings; "teiHeader" as element tag; "TEI header" in text. --[[User:Lorand|Susie]]


* Copyedit the text so that we use terms like "item", "work", "tag", "element", "project", and "collection". consistently. Also check that we speak with a consistent voice: "the encoder should" vs. "the encoder must" vs. "the encoder will".
* Referencing elements and attributes: pointy brackets around element names when the word "element" is not present; monospace for both attributes and elements. I recommend against @ signs for attributes even though the main TEI Guidelines use them, because they are confusing to the uninitiated. Quotation marks are used around attribute ''values'' (not attribute names). --[[User:Lorand|Susie]]


* Copyedit throughout: "TEI Header", "teiHeader", "header", "Header".
* "OCR" (not spelled out) and "optical character recognition" (lowercase) --[[User:Lorand|Susie]]


* Standardize how we reference elements and attributes -- sometimes with pointy brackets, sometimes monospace, sometimes both, sometimes with no differentiating characters or font style.
* throughout: <teiHeader> <tt>&lt;!-- header goes here --&gt;</tt> </teiHeader> --[[User:Lorand|Susie]]
 
* Try to find a more generic heading for the Alger Hiss document examples? --[[User:Lorand|Susie]]
 
* When review of guidelines in the wiki is finished, remove redundancies from section headings ("Level 3" and "Level 4" in subheadings under "Level 3 Examples" and "General Level 4 Recommendations and Examples" ----[[User:Lorand|Susie]]
 
* I have moved source citations to the ends of examples if they weren't there already, and introduced them with "Source" rather than "FROM". Examples in the following subsections lack citations:
** Level 3 Basic Structure: Verse
** Level 3 Chapter with Letter
** Level 4 Name Tagging
** Level 4 Oral History
** Alger Hiss document (Levels 1, 2, 3, 4)
