SIMPLE NOVEL AND PROSE EXAMPLE

CHAPTER 1: UNDER THE WAVES

Lots of prose text here that has character names and interesting terminology.

More text perhaps in which “quotes” are used or someone is quoting someone else.

You can also nest divs if you want, c’est la vie, so that div1 is the novel, div2 a chapter, div3 some smaller part of text, etc.

There might be words italicized for emphasis in the original.

Or maybe there are words that you can’t read well because there is a stain or tear

Are there words, paragraphs, or even pages missing?

Did you notice a mistake but don’t want to correct it, or perhaps you did make the choce toochoice tocorrect it?

Perhaps your text has marginal notation.Type in what appears in the margins here, next to what it corresponds with in the maintext

And what do you do if you modernize the spelling?

Or if you leaf the original spelling as it originally appeer’d?
