| **Non-Textual Artifacts** | Record non-textual elements (seals, stamps, sketches, physical damage) using brief descriptive text inside square brackets. | [description] | [wax notary seal attached here] or [sketch of a fort layout] |
| **Marginalia & Addenda** | Explicitly indicate spatial transitions before transcribing content located in margins or non-standard orientations. | [location:] | [written in left margin:] Do not share this with anyone. |
### 3.4 Document-Body Medium
Every transcript must identify the predominant document-body medium exactly once at the beginning:
| Medium | Use | Standard Markup |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Handwritten** | The main body was written by hand. | `[document body handwritten]` |
| **Typewritten** | The main body was produced with a typewriter. Uneven impressions, monospaced characters, and mechanical defects remain typewritten rather than handwritten. | `[document body typewritten]` |
| **Typeset** | The main body was composed for printing or produced as printed text rather than with a typewriter. | `[document body typeset]` |
| **Mixed** | No single medium predominates, or handwritten and printed/typewritten content are structurally interleaved. | `[document body mixed]` |
- Use exactly one document-body marker.
- Do not wrap each line in `[handwritten: ...]` after declaring the body handwritten.
- In typewritten or typeset documents, use localized handwriting markers only for genuinely handwritten annotations, insertions, or signatures.
- In mixed documents, identify handwritten portions locally while preserving their reading context.
- Preserve tables of contents, tables, forms, columns, captions, marginalia, page numbers, dotted leaders, and associated references in their logical reading order.
- Produce plain text characters rather than HTML entities for ordinary transcription content.
## 4. Prompt Asset Integration
When executing programmatic transcriptions via LLM APIs or local models, processing instructions must be packaged into single-purpose system prompts aligned with these rules.
