Transcription Images
When doing transcription, use photos of the source material for emphasis, named after the doc and paragraph number and/or other descriptor.
Line Break
Markdown defaults to ignoring single line breaks. When one is needed, use an HTML line break at the end of a line.
line1<br>
line2
Block quotes
used for excerpts
The classic novel *Pride and Prejudice* begins with this deliberately ridiculous statement:
> It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
>
> However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
Cited Quotes
> Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
> Banana phone

Poetry and Lyrics Format
There was a young lady named Bright<br>
Whose speed was far faster than light;<br>
She set out one day<br>
In a relative way<br>
And returned on the previous night.
Tables
Should be rarely needed but extremely handy when appropro. Prefer concise format over pretty text format.
