0G. Misprints, etc.
In an area where transcription from the publication is required, transcribe a misprint as it appears in the publication. Follow such an inaccuracy with by "[sic]" or by the abbreviation "i.e." and the correction within square brackets. Supply missing letters in square brackets. Example 1
Do not correct words spelled according to older or non-standard orthographic conventions, e.g., "francoise" for "francaise" or "antient" for "ancient."
When the printer has left blank space for an initial letter, give the letter without square brackets, regardless of whether a guide letter is present or the letter has been filled in by hand. Make a note to show the copy’s actual; state in this respect. Example 2
