Some voice lines have variations, marked, for example, as “_alt_01” in the files. These lines go in the same field as the main line, are put in brackets an are marked with “Alt:” preceding the transcription. If there are multiple alternative lines, add their respective number. If the transcription of the alternative line is identical to the main line, this can be omitted. | |||

Audio descriptions, such as sighing, laughing or other noises that cannot be written, are marked with square brackets. The descriptor should be in italics to more clearly differentiate from normal text. If transcribing the sound is more readable than describing it, then it should be transcribed. | Audio descriptions, such as sighing, laughing or other noises that cannot be written, are marked with square brackets.

Some characters, such as Ivy, frequently speak languages other than English. In those cases, a sentence at the top of the quote page should disclose the second spoken language. On Ivy's page, it goes as follows: "Some of Ivy's lines are spoken in Spanish, or a mix of Spanish and English. They will have translation in italics." The transcription in plain text matches the spoken language, followed by a bracketed and italicized translation. | |||
