American Drama: Full Text Display

A number of standard display formats have been used in the American Drama Full Text: 

• All headings are centered and in bold. Headings supplied editorially, usually taken from the play's first line, are displayed in [ ].
• The full form of the speakers' names are displayed in [ ] after the version of the name that appears in the body of the text.
• All unhighlighted text is displayed as standard roman. Italic highlights appear as italic (as do roman highlights in text which was italic in copy text). Small capitals are displayed in bold. Signatures giving the author and/or place and/or date of composition at the beginning or end of an element are displayed centered. Page numbers are displayed in square brackets.
• Line indents reflect the indents in the copy text. Runover metrical lines are not indented since line length can vary depending on the size of the browser window.
• Lacunae (i.e. gaps in the copy text) are marked by '[.....]'.
• The position of figures, tables and notes, including authorial notes and notes supplied by the database editors are indicated by icons.
• Greek is transliterated and in bold.
