I'm transcribing the docs for a Radio Shack PT-210
printing terminal
because I don't see it online anywhere and I just recently acquired a
photocopy. This manual has a fair number of typos and a peculiar
capitalization scheme which is typical of writing from the 1700s. Here's
an example:
So, is it a Good Idea to correct stuff like this? Should I be concerned
about maintaining the page numbering?
I would say, that you want to preserve the style, but not the typos and the
page numbering.
If I saw e.g. a DOS/VS RPG II User's Guide with right-adjusted text, or Spec
Syntax made up with full lines instead of hyphens, it wouldnt feel right.
Just my 2c
