From manuscript to page

Drag the handle to compare the same passage as it arrives and as we set it.
  • Chapter number and title set as a clear hierarchy
  • Straight quotes and double hyphens turned into true quotation marks and dashes
  • Underlining replaced with real italics
  • A drop cap and small-caps opening, as in a printed book
  • Even text blocks with careful hyphenation
  • Running head and page number added
The same passage shown as a raw manuscript, double-spaced with straight quotes, double hyphens, and underlining in place of italics, and as a typeset page with a chapter heading, drop cap, small-caps opening, curly quotes, em dashes, true italics, a running head, and a page number.
