Brief guidance notes:
Use one line space to separate paragraphs. Do not indent
at the start of a paragraph.
Create new lines and spaces between lines using manual line breaks
(Shift + Return in MS Word) rather that just pressing the Return key.
Pressing the Return key alone produces a paragraph break instead of
a line break when it comes to convert the text to HTML. In Word you
can see the difference between a manual line break and a paragraph by
clicking the Show/Hide ¶ symbol next to the Zoom window in the
menu bar. The manual line break symbol appears as a bent arrow in grey,
and the paragraph as a greyed out ¶. All the line breaks in the
downloadable Word documents below are manual line breaks
Use italics for titles of works.
Use quotations marks (") for short quotations.
For long quotations use quotation marks and separate as
a block with line spaces.
Use long dash (em-dash) for breaking sentences and sub-clauses
(e.g. "LDR the scholarly online review service ",
as opposed to "LDR -- the scholarly online review service --").
On the Mac this can be produced by Alt (Option) + Shift + Hyphen. On
PCs, you can insert an em dash by holding down the ALT key, then pressing
0151 on the numeric keypad.
For bibliographical
references use the Leonardo
editorial guidelines. Do not supply copy with MS Word footnotes or endnotes
embedded. These will not convert to HTML. Use sequential numbering of
notes in square brackets, e.g. [1] and add notes text at the end of
the copy corresponding to numbers.
References to page numbers should take the form (p. 000).
Use single space for start of new sentence.
If in doubt:
1. Check Editorial Guidance in the back cover of Leonardo,
2. Look at the formatted texts on the LDR website,
3. Consult Michael Punt
