-Sometimes we will need to insert a producer's note within the body of the text; for example, to describe or interpret visual elements in the text where the alt text might not be sufficient. In this case, we mark up the text using the **Prodnote - Optional (DAISY)** style. See [[public:nnels:etext:images#adding_extended_image_descriptions_producer_s_notes|Images]].+[[public:nnels:etext:start|Return to main eText Page]]
  
-We will also surround our producer's note with the text: BEGIN PRODUCER'S NOTE and END PRODUCER'S NOTE. This is so that readers of the e-text version will know that this is not part of the normal narrative.  
- 
-===Example=== 
-This is an example of an in-text producer's note used to describe a diagram of a family tree (the diagram is depicted smaller than it would be in the actual text).

-====Q&A==== 
-**Q: In a book where the original front-matter includes a description of the typefaces used (i.e., "The text in this book uses OpenDyslexic and Minion Pro typefaces."), should this be removed? Or addressed in a "Producer's Note?"** 
- 
-A: Yes, we can address this in a Producer's Note [Heading 1].  We could state something to the effect that "the text is this Digital Talking Book does not use OpenDyslexic and Minion Pro typefaces. These typefaces are used in the original book."
