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, including extra spaces, missing spaces, and hyphenation or line-break artifacts.
- Rejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks.
- Indicating missing words with `...`.
- Not rephrasing or rewriting the text.
- Formatting in Markdown and not translating any text.
- Correcting file references by removing spaces within parentheses.
- Preserving page numbering information.
- Not leaving any explanatory wordings in the output.
- Reordering newspaper texts if necessary.
- Reconstructing tables.
- Adjusting the direction of Chinese writing to left to right if necessary.
I will adhere to these guidelines and output the corrected text in HTML format using
for paragraphs and
only when necessary.
