Add some comments to code, review transcript's first part
Mar 4, 2017 at 17:41 comment added user34897 Hyphens could mean its part of the same string while a space denotes a seperator
Mar 4, 2017 at 15:47 comment added Victor Stafusa Almost all the lines are finished with an hyphen, and those hyphens are never presented in any other place other than line ends (didn't checked that though). The only two lines that miss the hyphen is the very last one and the 6th line at the start of the text (I looked through the text for some other cases but didn't found any). This is a curious fact, but I guess that the sixth line missing an hyphen might be just a small mistake that passed through from whoever edited and reviewed this.

Saving space in the interpreter identation - we might need it later.

First part transcription
Mar 4, 2017 at 15:17 comment added bb216b3acfd8f72cbc8f899d4d6963 The underlined characters look suspiciously like a Discord token. However, they are missing - and .
Mar 4, 2017 at 15:16 comment added user34897 @Lawrence Victor is correct, they are not bleed through - they have bold print and underlined. I should be able to get them in a few hours.

Reviewing encoded block, <kbd> in underscore text, more instructions about transcribing.
Mar 4, 2017 at 13:44 comment added Victor Stafusa @Silenus I think that the newlines might be important. Look a the sequence of A's in the end of the first column. Some lines clearly feature line breaks much earlier than what would be needed otherwise.
Mar 4, 2017 at 13:35 comment added Lawrence @VictorStafusa You're right. My mistake.
Mar 4, 2017 at 13:32 comment added Victor Stafusa @Lawrence Looking at the scanned photocopy, no. The underlines are clearly in the text and clearly not part of what was on the next page. Also, the underlined letters seems to be in boldtext for me.
Mar 4, 2017 at 13:30 comment added Lawrence @Memhave Are the underlining just photocopying bleed-through from the next page?

Mar 4, 2017 at 0:43 comment added user34897 I think this is a good lead, I will see if I cant find something to output the 2nd page in text while leaving the question open for a (hopeful) solution.
