11.2 Formal Declarations

The bare-bones TEI subset is a clean subset of the TEI encoding scheme as published: bare-bones texts conform to the published TEI DTD. The subset is defined exclusively by suppressing elements which are normally available within TEI documents. This suppression is accomplished by a DTD fragment available from the TEI file servers under the name bb.ent (for "bare-bones entities").
