I understand the instructions for OCR proofreading of historical records related to Hong Kong. I will follow the rules provided to correct the text while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.
The rules include:
- Transforming the text into standard Markdown format.
- Correcting spelling errors without adding or removing words.
- Fixing spacing issues and rejoining broken sentences.
- Restoring paragraph breaks and indicating missing words with `...`.
- Not rephrasing or rewriting the text.
- Formatting file references correctly without spaces inside parentheses.
- Preserving page numbering information.
- Reordering newspaper texts and reconstructing tables.
- Adjusting Chinese writing direction to modern reading habits if necessary.
I will output the corrected text in HTML format using
for paragraphs and
only when necessary.
