Transcription Notes:
With the table being full of paragraph text it needs to be transcribed a bit differently to render correctly. For a single entry - do not hit return within the cell, use spaces if needed. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-07 16:13:26 couple of minor typos corrected. Table rendering looks fine.
