Correctly formatted text
The Duke's letter of apology is full of calm dignity, but one regrets that the accusation was not dismissed with a show, at least, of righteous indignation. /# /* <sc>London</sc>, Jan. 13, 1835. */ <sc>My dear Miss J.</sc>,--I beg your pardon if I have written a line or used an expression which could annoy you. Believe me; it is the thing of all others that I would wish to avoid! And that there is nobody more strongly impressed than I am with veneration for your Virtues, attainments and Sentiments! /* Believe me Ever Yours Most sincerely, <sc>Wellington</sc>. */ #/ [** No blank lines between these closing tags] This quarrel is of chief interest as indicating that Miss J.'s anxiety for the Duke's soul was
Without special instructions
This is the same letter as the one in the previous example, but formatted according to the Guidelines, without the extra instructions from the Post-Processor, which asked for a blank line above the name. This example also includes some slightly different explanations.
Letter as Block Quote
This letter is in a smaller font, so enclose it in Block Quotes.
Blockquote and no-wrap
Use No-wrap to signal that the heading is right-justification.
Greeting on the first line
"J." is an abbreviation, so its period goes inside the tags. The salutation is not a complete sentence, so the comma goes outside the tags.
Closing
Special indentation. Just enclose all of the lines in the closing portion of the letter in one pair of no-wraps. Move name to separate line. Only the name is in small caps, and the period is not part of the name, so it goes outside the tags.
