কিভাবে একটি পাতার রচনা শৈলী করতে হয়।

When proofreading a work for Wikisource, it helps to get the typesetting as close as possible to the original. উইকিসোর্সের প্রুফরিড করতে গিয়ে মূল লেখা বিন্যাসের যতটা কাছাকাছি করা যায়, ততই ভালো৷ তবে, উইকিসোর্সের নিজস্ব কিছু শৈলী নির্দেশনা আছে আর এটাও সত্যি এটি একটি ওয়েবসাইট মুদ্রিত বই নয় তাই টাইপসেটিংয়ের কতটা বাস্তবায়ন সম্ভব সে প্রশ্ন রয়ে যায়৷ এই পাতায় আপনার এই টাইপসেটিং বিষয়ে জানার উপায়গুলোই বর্ণিত হয়েছে৷

Please note that typesetting is secondary to the text itself. If there is a conflict between the two or a problem with typesetting, always keep the wording of the text intact and either ignore any inconvenient formatting or leave it until later. Wikisource is a wiki, so corrections and improvements can always be made at any time, either by yourself or by another user.

অনুচ্ছেদ এবং বাক্য সম্পাদনা

Although the general maxim on Wikisource is to preserve the source text as closely as possible, there are some concessions made for the change of medium from the printed page to a digital format. Chief among these are changes to the way in which paragraphs are formatted, and the consequences of such changes.

  • উকিসংকলনে অনুচ্ছেদ বা অন্যান্য লেখাকে সংভৃতক করবেন না'
    অনুচ্ছেদের শুরুতে ইন্ডেন্ট পরিহার্য, তা মূল লেখায় যাই থাকুক না কেন৷ কেন? মুদ্রিত লেখায়, কোনো অনুচ্ছেদের প্রথম লাইন সাধারণত বামের মার্জিন থেকে একটু দূরে শুরু করা হয়৷ এর দ্বারা পাঠককে একটা চাক্ষুষ নির্দেশক দেয়া হয় কোথায় অনুচ্ছেদের শুরু৷ On Wikisource, the visual cue is provided in the form of a greater spacing between paragraphs. It is a natural consequence of our software that there will be greater line spacing between the final line of one paragraph and the start of the next paragraph. Because this visual cue exists, we do not use paragaph indentation under normal circumstances.
Under no circumstances should one or more spaces be used at the beginning of a line of text. This has unfortunate consequences for the way in which the following line will be displayed by the software. The text will appear in an equal-spaced font (usually Courier) inside a shaded rectangle, as shown below:
This is what happens when a space appears before a line of text.
  • দুটি অনুচ্ছেদের মাঝখানে একটি ফাঁকা স্থান রাখুন
    To produce the greater line spacing between paragraphs, simply leave a blank line between the two paragraphs when editing. This must be a truly blank line, without any characters or spaces.
  • লাইন-ব্রেক তুলে দিন
    Printed books break lines of text whenever it is necessary to fit the lines to the page. Scanned text will usually add line breaks at the end of each line as it appears in the original text. Line breaks are usually an artefact of the printing process, and not information in the original work. Thus, when converting a text from its source into a Wikisource page, it is best practice to remove any line breaks. Note that it may be easier to do this after proofreading. It is not absolutely necessary to remove them, as web browsers will naturally wrap text for the individual reader, but these breaks should be removed, such that all the lines in a paragraph are connected with no breaks.
  • Reconnect hyphenated words broken over separate lines.
    Words broken over two lines should be reconnected into one word again. For example, if a line of text ends in "bad-" and the next line begins with "ger", the hyphen and break should be removed to leave just "badger". However, take care when doing this that you do not eliminate hyphens from the middle of hyphenated words, such as "twenty-nine", "three-fourths", or "Saxe-Coburg". When these words are broken at the end of a line, they may look like ordinary words that were hyphenated merely as a result of a line break, when in fact they are hyphenated words. Recognizing the difference between these two situations requires some common sense, but also an awareness that rules for spacing and hyphenation both vary by country and change over time. For example, the word "today" was sometimes written as "to day" or "to-day" in some older works. Browsing several pages of the work, or looking at nearby paragraphs, can often answer questions about whether a hyphen should be retained or collapsed.
  • A single space is sufficient between sentences.
    Traditionally, style guides for printed works advocate two spaces following a full stop (period), exclamation point, question mark, or other punctuation occurring at the end of a sentence. People who learned to type or keyboard under such a style guide may do this habitually. However, web browsers normally collapse two or more consecutive spaces on a line into a single space. It is therefore necessary to include only a single space between sentences of the same paragraph, as any extra spaces will not be displayed.

The above statements about formatting are standard in most situations, but there are some exceptions. For example, poetry is deliberately written on multiple lines, and so removing all line breaks is not appropriate. Formatting poetry is a more advanced topic, and is covered at Help:Poetry. Also, when a hyphenated word falls at the end of a page, and continues onto the start of the following page, special formatting is required. This issue is discussed below under Multiple pages.

লেখা বিন্যাস সম্পাদনা

You can type italic or bold text by adding apostrophes to either side of the text as shown in this table.

Font style Wiki code Description
Italics ''Italics'' To make text italic, add two apostrophes on either side of the text.
Bold '''Bold''' To make text bold, add three apostrophes on either side of the text.
Bold italics '''''Bold italics''''' To make text bold and italic at the same time, add five apostrophes on either side of the text.

(ie. two apostrophes around three other apostrophes to achieve both effects at the same time.)


To change the size of text, you can use the following templates. This is especially useful with chapter titles or footnotes and it might even be used elsewhere in the text.

Symbols and special characters সম্পাদনা

Unicode, also known as "What about these funny characters?"

Often in our works there are unusual and foreign characters, and, not unexpectedly, many of us don't know how to type these. To assist, in the new toolbar, and at the bottom of our editing pages there is included an edit tools that allow the addition of these characters. To note that the available character sets do not contain every character, especially with very old typesets. You can check one of the following sites to look to see if the character is available in modern fonts

If you can find the character, you are looking to note is the respective HTML-code: or HTML Entity which can be used. For example ‡ (double dagger) is replicated with ‡.

বিন্যাস সম্পাদনা

Text position সম্পাদনা

These templates do not format text (such as adjusting text size); they help to format the pages themselves.

Template Short form Usage
{{RunningHeader}} {{rh}} Easy formatting for headers and footers, including page numbers.
{{Hyphenated word start}} {{hws}} To re-connect a word split across two pages.
{{Hyphenated word end}} {{hwe}} To complete the re-connection of a word split across two pages.
{{nop}} n/a পাতার শেষে যদি অনুচ্ছেদ শেষ হয়, অর্থাৎ অনুচ্ছেদ শেষ হওয়ার সাথে যদি পাতা শেষ হয় তবে এই টেমপ্লেট ব্যবহার করুন৷

For example, if page 1 ends with "contin-" and page 2 starts with "-uation", you should replace this text with the following: On page 1 use "{{hws|contin|continuation}}" and on page 2 use "{{hwe|uation|continuation}}". When saved, this will still appear as "contin-" and "-uation" in the page namespace, although each will have the tooltip "continuation". In the main namespace, however, this will appear as just "continuation".

Some running headers, and how to format the template to display them, can be seen in this table:

Examples of RunningHeader
Template Result
{{rh|1|CHAPTER TITLE|[1830.}}
1
CHAPTER TITLE
[1830.
{{rh||''Book Title''|55}}
Book Title
55
{{rh|{{sc|Vol}}. 2||Page 101}}
Vol. 2
Page 101

Header and footer সম্পাদনা

 
Put image of header, footer & reading pane here.

Explain the toggle & gadget to view the header/footer.

Multiple pages সম্পাদনা

The text in a book will normally continue across pages and the computer program behind the proofreading process assumes this. When the text appears in the mainspace, it will put a space between the last word on the first page and the first word on the second page. Usually this is what you want to happen. However there are some cases where you will need to use a template to make the program do something different.

  • যদি কোনো পাতা কোনো অনুচ্ছেদ দিয়ে শেষ হয়: তাহলে {{nop}} টেমপ্লেটটি পাতার শেষে একটি নতুন লাইনে যোগ করুন৷ এর ফলে পরের পাতার প্রথম অনুচ্ছেদের লেখা এসে এই অনুচ্ছেদের সাথে যোগ হবে না৷
  • If a word is broken over two pages: add the {{hyphenated word start}} template to the first page and the {{hyphenated word end}} template to the second page.
    For example, if page 5 ends with "bad-" and page 6 begins with "-ger", you should end page 5 with
{{hyphenated word start|bad|badger}}
and you should begin page 6 with
{{hyphenated word end|ger|badger}}
When the pages are brought together in the mainspace, this will appear as just "badger".

Tables can be used both to create a table (if one was in the original text) and to arrange the layout of text. This can be complicated.
