Purpose
Use of {{SIC}} is used to by a transcriber to indicate that a word has been spelt that way in the original text. This should minimise the amount of modification by those who like to correct spelling.
Effect
To underline the word of interest, and to produce a pop-up to show the presumed intended word.
Usage
- Use of two variables
- first variable is the word in text being transcribed
- second variable is the word that is presumed to have been the intended word.
The intention is to encapsulate the word in question.
{{SIC|typed word|produced word}}
- RESULT: typed word ← hover cursor to see full effect
Incorrect usage
- no variables
{{SIC}}
- RESULT: {{{1}}} ← hover cursor to see full effect
- only one variable
{{SIC|typed word}}
- RESULT: typed word ← hover cursor to see full effect

- {{sic}} - which undertakes a similar function though as a hidden placemarker in the text.
