Ligatures are also not encoded. Where possible, ISO entity references encode special characters. Anything within either single braces or single vertical bars is one piece of type. This character-encoding scheme is common to all RET editions. The text of the edition is emended to correct typographical errors.
Corrections appear as underlined characters.
The layout of each book is kept, including lineation, indentation, paragraphing, and pagination, but this is managed normally by tagging rather than by trying to replicate the visual look of the text on screen. Because spacing between words is highly irregular in Renaissance texts, however, all word-separator spaces are rendered as single, no matter how small or large the physical gap between the words. Graphics in the folio include rule lines and ornaments. These are not tagged. Each RET edition belongs to a corpus of English literature in the Renaissance.
