Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Capture OBO from MS Word manuscript styles

For OBO, copy editors apply Microsoft Word styles to the manuscript to indicate the basic structure of the document. Use the styles to guide XML capture.

The manuscript should be structured so that there are at most three levels of heading within the content, i.e. it should not be necessary to use div4 elements. Contact OUP if the manuscript has more than three levels of heading.

Do not capture straight apostrophes (U+0027). Capture the rounded apostrophe instead (U+2019).

Special characters may appear in the manuscript as names enclosed in angle brackets. Capture these as appropriate Unicode characters.
