I agree with JSWolf. Although I rarely, if ever, change the style from the PDF scan I work from. (I try to match the text exactly).
There was also some discussion of typos back here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=233132
I give an in-depth changelog stating the EXACT typo corrections I fixed:

Page ##: par. ##: typo/explanation
Here is the sentence where there was a tpyo.

Then for sweeping "style" changes, I give just an overall statement. For example, in the journal I am converting, in a bunch of the references, there was a publisher that was written in 4 different ways:
Quote:
LibertyClassics
Liberty Classics
LibertyClassics
Liberty Classics
|
I normalized them all to "Liberty Classics".
Or when dealing with a page number reference:
Quote:
|
See on this Hülsmann (1996, p. 5 ff).

sometimes there was a space before "ff." or "f.", and sometimes no period. I normalized them all to have NO space and ALWAYS a period afterwards.
(I also have all the documents on hand so I can easily generate an EXACT code comparison if needed (using Beyond Compare). I showed/attached an example in the typo topic).
