Triple q is fine. Just do not use double q. There exists one single word
in Italian containing a double q. It is 'soqquadro', which literally
means
'a disorderly mess of objects or furnishings in a room'
Very topical in the case of bad pages.

[bksvol-discuss] Re: Finding bad pages
I tend to put rescan in parens on the top of the pages that I find really
bad in books I scan. It is extremely unlikely that that word would ever
appear in a book. <g> I used to use stars in front of words that were
badly
garbled so I could get a sighted assistant to tell me what the mess was
supposed to be. Of course that only worked if the book didn't have stars
for footnotes. Now I think I might switch to a carot, because I have
never
found one of those in a scan unless it was just part of the garbage. It
is
great to find everything that needs fixing just by going through the
document with f3, and editing doesn't have to distract you from your
enjoyment of reading while you can't do anything about the mess.
I also use QQQ for my reading place marker, but of course that isn't
necessary in kes files, since they retain your place. I am pretty sure i
have never submitted anything with my editing markup in it, but if anyone
ever finds such stuff they will know what happened. :-)
