Each of these annotations should be addressed by the authors with the galley corrections. To avoid confusion, the galley will maintain the original numbering of the references until all substantive issues related to the references are resolved. If references are being added to the galley, they will be assigned new reference numbers arbitrarily. Depending on your combination of computer, browser, and installed fonts, you may see what appears to be an extra space after italicized words. Computers treat type as a series of characters, each occupying a fixed rectangle.
Programs form words by placing the rectangles as close together as possible.
These techniques normally work quite well, but fall short when combined. As the web browsers used by the vast majority of Molecular Vision readers support this standard, we adopted the use of these character replacements in 1997. Web browsers that don't follow this standard can't replace these cryptic sequences of characters with the special symbols they represent. If you are seeing these sequences of characters rather than the symbols, you might want to consider upgrading to a newer version of your browser. The galley header includes the date the galley was last updated.
