			Proofreading is easy! Just pick a page in a book that interests you, and edit the text on the left side of the screen so that it matches, as closely as possible, the image on the right side of the screen. Keep in mind the following guidelines:

			*Preserve all spelling mistakes that are in the original
			*As far as it is practical, attempt to preserve the original's formatting, with a few exceptions:
			**There's no need to preserve paragraph indentation: on the web, a line break indicates a new paragraph
			**Feel free to use straight quotes ("example") rather than curly quotes (“example” and ‘example’)
			**For dashes, use either an unspaced emdash—like this—or a spaced endash – like this. These characters are available below the "Save page" button.
			*Add links to other pages in the Mises Wiki.
			**When linking to another book, link to its encyclopedia article, not the text itself, unless the reference is to a particular chapter or page of the book.

 Sections make it possible to show only part of a page in the main namespace.  For example, if Chapter 3 of a book begins in the middle of a page, I could use <code><nowiki><</nowiki>section begin="chapter3"</nowiki> /></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><</nowiki>section end="chapter3"</nowiki> /></nowiki></code> to indicate the part of the page I want to designate as part of Chapter 3:

begin proofreading help

New page

Books (in .pdf format) can be uploaded to the Mises Wiki, just like images. Then, anyone in the world can proofread them, page by page, in order to generate accurate html reproductions of original books.

==Add a book==
===Upload===

===Create its Index page===

==Proofread pages==
===Formatting templates===
You will find that a number of formatting templates are helpful:
*{{tl|center}} or {{tl|c}}: Center text
*{{tl|right}} or {{tl|r}}: Right align text
*{{tl|running header}} or {{tl|rh}}: Generates a properly formatted running header
*{{tl|larger}}: Makes text larger

===Page status===
===Sections===
Sections make it possible to show only part of a page in the main namespace. For example, if Chapter 3 of a book begins in the middle of a page, I could use <code><nowiki><</nowiki>section begin="chapter3"</nowiki> /></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><</nowiki>section end="chapter3"</nowiki> /></nowiki></code> to indicate the part of the page I want to designate as part of Chapter 3:

<pre>
<section begin="chapter2" />Page begins near the end of chapter 2, and then...

chapter 2 ends.<section end="chapter2" />

<section begin="chapter3" />Title of Chapter 3

Chapter 3 begins here, and continues to the end of the page<section end="chapter3" />
</pre>

==Combine pages into one work==
To combine proofread pages in the main namespace, use the following syntax, replacing all italics with actual values:

<code><nowiki><</nowiki>pages index="''Name of the text.pdf''" from=''Initial_page_#'' to=''Final_page_#'' fromsection=''Start_section_name'' tosection=''End_section_name'' header=1 <nowiki>/></nowiki></code>

*index: The name of the book's file
*from: The page number of the initial page
*to: The page number of the final page
*fromsection: Optional. If the initial page has a section, and you don't want to include anything on that page except that section, add the section name here.
*tosection:Optional. If the final page has a section, and you don't want to include anything from that page except that section, add the section name here.
*header: if set to "1," generates a header from information on the Index page.

===Example===
For example:
<code><nowiki><</nowiki>pages index="Marxism Unmasked.pdf" from=8 to=12 fromsection=chapter1 tosection=chapter1 header=1 <nowiki>/></nowiki></code>

In this case, pages 8–12 of [[Index:Marxism Unmasked.pdf]] will appear on the page. However, only the parts of page 8 and page 12 that are in "section1" will appear; the rest of those two pages will not. In addition, a header will appear at the top of the page, thanks to <code>header=1</code>.
