== Basics of Editing ==
We have developed a style guide to keep our transcripts consistent. Here are the basics.
 
* We use a clean verbatim style. This means filler words (ums/uhs) and repeated words when they do not add extra meaning (and, and , and ...) are removed.
* Add notes in brackets for things that happen in video but don't translate to audio.
* No indent on paragraphs
* In your text editor, leave an empty paragraph between existing ones
* Timestamp on top, italicized, shift+enter for line break (not paragraph break from regular enter)
* For speaker tags: full speaker name (first + last), bolded with a colon.
* For multiple paragraphs by the same speaker, only the first should have a speaker tag
* Add section headings
 
Be sure to review our style guide for everything in detail with examples.
 
== Three Passes ==
# Edit in Otter
# Edit in GDocs while listening
# Edit in GDocs again
 
== When finished ==
Tell us! We'll look it over and put it on the blog.


Paste it onto the wiki. Note that
* Timestamps must be followed by a <code><br></code> tag to insert the linebreak.
* Perform a find/replace operation with each speaker name, replacing the speaker name with the name surrounded by three tick marks. So <code>Eric Weinstein:</code> is replaced <code>'''Eric Weinstein:'''</code>.
* Add the necessary markup around section headings. Keep in mind heading levels may differ between the Google doc and the wiki, all that needs to be preserved is.
