The governing principle is exact compliance with the established style guide, not creative reconstruction. When the guide supplies a standard, reproduce it. When the source supplies text, preserve it. When information is missing, verify it or ask. Never invent a replacement and present it as compliant.

==Quotation and Foreign-Language Formatting==
 +
 +
1. **English quotations:** Use quotation marks to identify quoted English text. Do not italicise English quotations merely because they are quotations or originate from an older source.
 +
2. **Foreign-language passages:** Italicise substantial quotations and passages in Latin, French, German, and other foreign languages to distinguish them from the principal English text.
 +
3. **Mixed-language passages:** Italicise only the foreign-language portions, leaving the surrounding English text in roman type.
 +
4. **Visual exceptions:** Block quotations, pull quotes, and other deliberately designed display elements may use italics where appropriate to their presentation. Such styling is not the default for ordinary historical text.
 +
5. **Source fidelity:** Formatting must not alter the original wording, spelling, punctuation, sequence, or meaning. Do not silently translate or correct foreign-language text; record suspected errors separately for editorial review.
 +
6. **Consistency:** Apply these conventions throughout the page, including footnotes, quotations from cited authorities, and passages embedded within Newton's own prose, wherever the source formatting permits.
