isn't formatted any differently from the actual transcripts, making it hard to tell what is what. Thus, the actual text should be transcribed either in italics, or with the "blockquote" tag's. Or, the various note's throughout the article could be in italics. Either way, something needs to be done.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 06:54, 29 July 2009 (UTC) | isn't formatted any differently from the actual transcripts, making it hard to tell what is what.

:[http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Halopedia:Sandbox&oldid=855925 Here's my solution]. In that Sandbox revision, I've two possible formats for a Terminal page: a lot of HTML with a lot of CSS (could be made easier with a template), or a little HTML with a little CSS. ''(Note to self: try lightening Page 1's background to #555.)'' | |||
:More specifically, I can use HTML and CSS to generate a close visual approximation of a Terminal page while sticking to text; or I can use basic HTML and CSS to replicate textual details (alignment of characters, spacing, etc.) without replicating color. | |||
:Unfortunately, this format would be quite incompatible with ''inline'' notes, but notes could be appended to each transcript. [[Wikipedia:WP:REFGROUP|Reference groups]] would be excellent for that purpose, though it may be tricky to put the references themselves inside the transcripts without disturbing the text formatting... Tricky issue. | |||
:Furthermore, error messages need not be reproduced in the text -- I can probably write an alternative code with just a message describing what happens. | |||
