  3. Prefer semantic markup rather than copying the layout: given a single header with varying font size, e.g., prefer to represent it as a single header instead of trying to capture the font size variations.
  4. Proofread transcription once the copy is complete.
    • Check verse references; if you find a mistake, copy the original, but add a note like [transcriber's note: likely intended Act 15. 9.]
