| | Notes on typography |
| | Please note that there is little point in working on typographic details before the text has taken a final shape, or close to it. | | | If you do, the typographer will implacably resize them to fit, maybe in some way you don't fully approve of. | | | Please, then, decide (or have your typographer decide for you) on the following questions as early as possible: |
