8、ii BSI 03-2000 Foreword This Part of BS5261 has been prepared under the direction of the Paper andPrinting Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS1219:1958 and BS1219M:1961, which are withdrawn. The marks for mathematical copy preparation and proof correction specified herein are compatible wit

9、h those specified inBS5261-2. In BS 5261-2, the marks for copy preparation and proof correction are so specifiedthat the use of words is avoided; hence preparation and correction are independent of language. It was planned to extend the principles of BS5261-2 tomarks for mathematical copy preparatio

10、n and proof correction but, because mathematics employs so many symbols, it has not proved possible to avoid the useof words in all the marks specified. Where words are specified as marginal instructions, the possibility of using symbols has been considered, but the symbols proposed could too easily

11、 have been confused with mathematical symbols. This Part of BS5261 specifies marks for all the special instructions that are likelyto be needed for marking-up mathematical copy. The marks are specified so that they are available for those who need them, not because their use is always essential. Edi

12、tors and printers who are accustomed to working together may have an understanding of each others practices that makes such extensive use of marks unnecessary. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for th

13、eir correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 16, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (s

14、ee copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS5261-3:1989 BSI 03-2000 1 1 Scope This Part of BS5261 specifies marks for use in the preparation of mathematical copy and the correction of mathematical proofs. Mark

15、s specified in BS5261-2 are not repeated here unless they have some special application in mathematical work. Appendix A gives examples of the use of the marks. Appendix B lists characters and symbols that are often confused because they are similar in form. NOTEThe titles of the publications referr

16、ed to in this standardare listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS5261 the following definitions apply. 2.1 display to set matter so that it is separated from the text by space above and below 2.2 em space a horizontal distance equal to the nominal type size

17、 (seeFigure 1) NOTEAs an approximate visual guide, the width of the em space is similar to the width occupied by capital W or capitalM. 2.3 normal space a fixed space specified by editor, designer and typesetter and usually about30% of an em space 2.4 small space a fixed space specified by editor, d

18、esigner and typesetter and usually about15% of an em space 2.5 variable space in justified setting, a word space whose precise size is determined by the need to fill out the line NOTEVariable spaces are equal within a line, but vary from line to line within maximum and minimum limits fixed at the ou

19、tsetofa job by editor, designer and typesetter. 3 Copy preparation and proof correction 3.1 General Typographic specifications, proofing procedures and marks for general copy preparation and proof correction shall comply with BS5261-2. 3.2 Copy preparation Copy shall be typed double spaced. The reve

20、rse sideof the paper shall not be used. The minimum margins shall be25mm at the head and foot and onthe right of the page and40mm on the left (seeBS5261-1). The textual and marginal marks used for marking-up copy shall be those marked with the letterM inTable 1. The marginal marks marked with the le

21、tterP shall not be used unless they are necessary to clarify the instructions. NOTEThe use of colour to distinguish different categories of mark is not specified here because photocopies of manuscript are sometimes required. 3.3 Proof correction The textual and marginal marks used in correcting proo

22、fs shall be those specified inTable 1. For each correction a distinct mark shall be made: a) in the text: to indicate exactly where a correction is required; b) in the margin: to draw attention to the instruction and, if necessary, to amplify its meaning. A solidus(/) or caret () shall follow each m

23、arginal mark to show where the instruction ends, unless the marginal mark incorporates a solidus, e.g 3.4 Colours for marking proofs Proof corrections shall be made in coloured inksthus: a) printers errors marked by the printer for correction: green; b) printers errors marked by the customer and his

24、 agents for correction: red; c) alterations and instructions made by the customer and his agents: black or dark blue. 3.5 General instructions on typescript If a particular instruction applies at several different places in the typescript, a general instruction shall be given at the beginning, in pr

25、eference to repeating the particular instruction each time it is required. Any exceptions to the general instruction shall be indicated where they occur in the typescript (seeAppendix A).BS5261-3:1989 2 BSI 03-2000 3.6 Repeated instructions If a marginal instruction applies at more than oneplace in

26、a line, the multiplication symbol shallbe used to avoid repetition of the instruction,e.g.“prime 2”. 3.7 Spacing The sizes required for the normal space and thesmall space shall be specified in general instructions. NOTEThe sizes should normally be agreed between editor, designer and typesetter befo

27、re the instructions are prepared. 3.8 Letter symbols General instructions shall, if necessary, state whether letter symbols are to be set upright (roman) or sloping (italic), apart from exceptions indicated in the text. 3.9 Equations If an equation is likely to be too long to be set on oneline, plac

28、es where it may, if necessary, be split shall be marked on the typescript. 3.10 Explanatory notes If an instruction requires an explanatory note, the note shall be written in the margin and encircled. If a correction cannot be clearly indicated by the use of marks alone, the correct form shall be wr

29、itten in the margin and encircled. 3.11 Special symbols If a special symbol is required, it shall be encircled in the text and its name and reference number or an example taken from BS5775-11 or another suitable list shall be given in the margin and encircled. 3.12 Ambiguities Means of distinguishin

30、g between characters and symbols that might be confused because they are similar in form, e.g.capitalO and zero, shall be explained in general instructions or explanatory notes (seeAppendix B).

31、es a mark to be used for marking-up copy and the letterP a mark to be used for correcting proofs. Ifamark is also specified inBS5261-2, its number in that standard appears in parenthesis after its number in this table.BS5261-3:1989 4 BSI 03-2000 Table 1 List of marksBS5261-3:1989 BSI 03-2000 5 Table

32、 1 List of marksBS5261-3:1989 6 BSI 03-2000 Appendix A Examples of marked-up copy and corrected proofs A.1 General For the purposes of illustration, the examples of marked-up copy given inA.2 andA.3 show a more extensive use of marks than may generally be necessary. For reasons of economy, all marks

33、 in the examples are reproduced in black. However, users should note that to claim compliance with this Part of BS5261, the colours specified in3.4 need to be used when marking proof corrections. In example1 (A.2.1) and example2 (A.3.1), which illustrate specialized mathematical typesetting, the ins

34、truction to set letter symbols in sloping (italic) is given to reduce the amount of mark up necessary. In simpler copy it may be preferable to adopt the opposite procedure(see3.8). A.2 Example 1 NOTEIn the case of this example the following general instructions would be given to the typesetter: a) m

35、arks for BS5261-2 are used; b) letter symbols are to be sloping (italic) unless indicated otherwise; c) capital letterO is marked “oh” to distinguish from numeral0 (zero).BS5261-3:1989 BSI 03-2000 7 A.2.1 Marked-up copyBS5261-3:1989 8 BSI 03-2000 A.2.2 Corrected proof A.2.3 Final versionBS5261-3:198

39、itional remarks B.2.1 Relation symbols The user should confirm that any differences in usage are intended. In typescript, a single space should be left before and after relation symbols such as the following. B.2.2 Operator symbols In typescript, a single space should be left before and after operat

40、or symbols such as the following. B.2.3 Crossed symbols Certain symbols may require a marginal confirmation of intention, to avoid ambiguity.
