9、(c) BSI BS 5261-3:1989 ii BSI 03-2000 Foreword This Part of BS 5261 has been prepared under the direction of the Paper and Printing Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS 1219:1958 and BS 1219M:1961, which are withdrawn. The marks for mathematical copy preparation and proof correction specifie
10、d herein are compatible with those specified in BS 5261-2. In BS 5261-2, the marks for copy preparation and proof correction are so specified that the use of words is avoided; hence preparation and correction are independent of language. It was planned to extend the principles of BS 5261-2 to marks
11、for mathematical copy preparation and proof correction but, because mathematics employs so many symbols, it has not proved possible to avoid the use of words in all the marks specified. Where words are specified as marginal instructions, the possibility of using symbols has been considered, but the
12、symbols proposed could too easily have been confused with mathematical symbols. This Part of BS 5261 specifies marks for all the special instructions that are likely to be needed for marking-up mathematical copy. The marks are specified so that they are available for those who need them, not because
13、 their use is always essential. Editors 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 Briti
14、sh Standards are responsible for their 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, pages 1 to 16, an inside back cover and a back cove
15、r. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

16、0001 1 Scope This Part of BS 5261 specifies marks for use in the preparation of mathematical copy and the correction of mathematical proofs. Marks specified in BS 5261-2 are not repeated here unless they have some special application in mathematical work. Appendix A gives examples of the use of the
17、marks. Appendix B lists characters and symbols that are often confused because they are similar in form. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 5261 the following definitions apply. 2.1 di
18、splay 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 (see Figure 1) NOTEAs an approximate visual guide, the width of the em space is similar to the width occupied by capital W or capital M. 2.3 normal spa
19、ce a fixed space specified by editor, designer and typesetter and usually about 30 % of an em space 2.4 small space a fixed space specified by editor, designer and typesetter and usually about 15 % of an em space 2.5 variable space in justified setting, a word space whose precise size is determined
20、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 outset of a job by editor, designer and typesetter. 3 Copy preparation and proof correction 3.1 General Typographic specifications, proofing procedu
21、res and marks for general copy preparation and proof correction shall comply with BS 5261-2. 3.2 Copy preparation Copy shall be typed double spaced. The reverse side of the paper shall not be used. The minimum margins shall be 25 mm at the head and foot and on the right of the page and 40 mm on the
22、left (see BS 5261-1). The textual and marginal marks used for marking-up copy shall be those marked with the letter M in Table 1. The marginal marks marked with the letter P shall not be used unless they are necessary to clarify the instructions. NOTEThe use of colour to distinguish different catego
23、ries 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 proofs shall be those specified in Table 1. For each correction a distinct mark shall be made: a) in the text: to indicate exactly where
24、 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 marginal mark to show where the instruction ends, unless the marginal mark incorporates a solidus, e.g 3.4 Colours for marking pro
25、ofs Proof corrections shall be made in coloured inks thus: a) printers errors marked by the printer for correction: green; b) printers errors marked by the customer and his agents for correction: red; c) alterations and instructions made by the customer and his agents: black or dark blue. 3.5 Genera
26、l 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 preference to repeating the particular instruction each time it is required. Any exceptions to the general instruction shall be in
27、dicated where they occur in the typescript (see Appendix A).

28、plication symbol shall be used to avoid repetition of the instruction, e.g. “prime 2”. 3.7 Spacing The sizes required for the normal space and the small space shall be specified in general instructions. NOTEThe sizes should normally be agreed between editor, designer and typesetter before the instru
29、ctions 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 one line, places where it
30、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 written in the
31、 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 BS 5775-11 or another suitable list shall be given in the margin and encircled. 3.12 Ambiguities Means of distinguishing between c
32、haracters and symbols that might be confused because they are similar in form, e.g. capital O and zero, shall be explained in general instructions or explanatory notes (see Appendix B).

If a mark is also specified in BS 5261-2, its number in that standard appears in parenthesis after i
34、ts number in this table.

36、ked-up copy given in A.2 and A.3 show a more extensive use of marks than may generally be necessary. For reasons of economy, all marks in the examples are reproduced in black. However, users should note that to claim compliance with this Part of BS 5261, the colours specified in 3.4 need to be used
37、when marking proof corrections. In example 1 (A.2.1) and example 2 (A.3.1), which illustrate specialized mathematical typesetting, the instruction 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
38、procedure (see 3.8). A.2 Example 1 NOTEIn the case of this example the following general instructions would be given to the typesetter: a) marks for BS 5261-2 are used; b) letter symbols are to be sloping (italic) unless indicated otherwise; c) capital letter O is marked “oh” to distinguish from num
39、eral 0 (zero).
