Orthography
[recensere]Hi there,
I suggest we keep the original orthography but allow users to switch it on / off. This would mean we use templates for each symbol. There is a discussion at the Scriptorium on how to do this. In the alternative, I would remove it all, especially long-s, as this breaks dictionary look ups (they all do, of course, which is why users should be able to toggle it).

- How do we replicate the scribal abbreviation for -que? --EncycloPetey (disputatio) 04:51, 17 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
- Would the current qꝫ be acceptable as a workaround? If not, then even holding the template to reproduce que would be reasonable, as a future user would be able to find and replace this with the correct character at a future point. (Some typefaces do have the character, but it is not mapped to a Unicode entity currently AIUI). JimKillock (disputatio) 08:10, 17 Iunii 2025 (UTC)
- It seems that the unicode character does exist, but of course it is not present in most typefaces. That might not matter with a toggle and perhaps a specific font called or defaulted to by CSS, but I have left as is for now. see Disputatio Formulae:Qz JimKillock (disputatio) 12:20, 22 Iunii 2025 (UTC)

Orthography and transcription II: Congestorium Artificiose Memorie
[recensere]Hi there, so the best approach to this document seems to be:
- Use the Transkribus OCR tool using the LA-Incunabula setting. (This part of the book is what is known as a "Post Incunabula"
- Use the advanced settings to select areas of the page, being the main text column, and then the side notes
- Add Usor:JimKillock/scribal.js to your Usor:name/common.js with importScript("Usor:JimKillock/scribal.js") or copy it
- The script will replace the scribal characters with templates listed at Categoria:Formulae litterarum
- Please do not remove scribal characters. Use the generic template {{scr|character|transformation}} where you are unsure
The Incunabula OCR and script makes light work of creating new transcription pages at first pass, then we can move to proper proofing. JimKillock (disputatio) 08:13, 3 Iulii 2025 (UTC)
