The TEI TiteA standard for off-site text encoding

1 Introduction

This document specifies how the Tite standard should be applied. Its organizing model is roughly the structure of a TEI document itself, and it proceeds from high-level features to low, starting with general requirements, text structure, directions on when to group texts, considerations about type of text (genre and format), down to instructions on marking phrase-level features, reference systems, and so forth. In its original ‘ODD’ (one document does-it-all) format, this document can generate everything necessary for working in Tite: both documentation (this Tite-specific prose as well as the full TEI technical documentation for relevant elements) and schemas in either W3C Schema, RelaxNG, or XML DTD. The Roma web tool can generate all of these.

Tite-encoded documents are TEI documents, and the Tite standard, with the exception of convenience elements (b, i, ul, sup, sub, smcap, cols and ornament all of which can be converted back to canonical TEI), is a pure subset of the TEI. That is, it was created primarily by removing elements and attributes from the TEI, and not from extensive modification. Thus as part of the TEI family, Tite inherits TEI semantics, and ambiguity in this specification should be resolved with reference to TEI Guidelines. What makes Tite distinct is that where the TEI in general is famously tolerant of multiple methods of encoding a given feature, Tite seeks uniformity of encoding through constraint, constraint via its stripped-down tag set and via this specification.

Tite can be used to encode printed prose, poetry, drama, newspapers, and anything else which can be described with the basic TEI building-blocks of divisions, paragraphs, line groups, and speeches.

A note on terms: I use document to refer generally to the item (book, pamphlet, newspaper, etc.) to be encoded and text as either linguistic material (as opposed to graphic or imagistic) or a logically distinct literary unit.

2 General Requirements

2.1 What to Capture

All printed material should be captured: all text (that is, printed characters) should be transcribed and the presence of graphical items or other non-transcribable elements should be indicated with markup (mostly the figure element). Normally text is understood to mean text in a Western character set, but this will be negotiated for each job. The presence of text in character sets outside the current scope should be indicated with the gap element.

2.2 End-of-line Hyphens

A distinction should be maintained in the electronic transcription between end-of-line or ‘soft’ hyphens (an artifact of page layout) and ‘hard’ hyphens (a linguistic feature). In the rare case of coincidence of the two types, the hyphen should be marked as hard (as it is not properly an end-of-line hyphen at all in this case).

2.3 Character Encoding

Texts should be encoded in UTF-8. For non-keyboard characters, each project should decide what kind of entities will serve best (mnemonic, numerical, etc.).

2.4 Accuracy and Verification

The standard for accuracy of transcription should be 99.99% (1 error in 10,000 characters). The sample size for verification should be 5% of the total text.

2.5 Documenting the Encoding Process

Almost unavoidably, difficult encoding situations will arise whose resolution may not be covered by these guidelines, ‘common sense’, or anything else close to hand. In any case like this where there is doubt or difficulty, it is important to document the markup choices that are made. To this end each encoded text should be accompanied by a document with such notes. These notes should reference both features of a document that seem remarkable to encoders (and how these were handled) and remarkable or non-obvious encoding decisions made by encoders.

3 Global Text Structure

3.1 TEI text structure

The basic structure of a TEI text is as follows:
<TEI>
 <teiHeader> [ TEI Header information ] </teiHeader>
 <text>
  <front> [ front matter ... ] </front>
  <body> [ body of text ... ] </body>
  <back> [ back matter ... ] </back>
 </text>
</TEI>

Thus there are two basic components: the (marked-up) text and its catalog-like description in the header. Tite is really only concerned with the text; it simply reproduces the teiHeader content model from the TEI Lite.

3.2 The teiHeader

Normally the patron institution maintains responsibility for the header. The header can be sent to the off-site location to be kept with the encoded text or no header may be sent. In the latter case a unique identifying number should be given as the xml:id attribute of the text element. For validation of header-less texts, if an XML DTD is being used as the schema, simply replace the TEI element with text as the root element in the document type declaration. (I.e. <!DOCTYPE text PUBLIC . . . >.) Otherwise any number of means could be employed to support intermediate validation, such as attaching dummy headers to all texts or temporarily modifying the schema to make the teiHeader element optional.

As was said above, the content model for Tite is taken verbatim from the TEI Tite, thus maintaining full flexibility for the patron institution while at the same time not imposing undue burden: a valid header can include as little as a title (titleStmt), publication statement (publicationStmt), and a description of the source document (sourceDesc).

3.3 Groups of Texts

A document should be encoded as a group of texts only when each potential member of the group contains its own front or back matter (most often, a separate title page). In this case the group element should replace the text element, and should contain child text elements each containing a front, body, and back (each text need not have both front and back matter, but should have at least one). Note that this group of texts will still have its own front and back matter. When dealing with a group of texts, the basic TEI text structure is modified to look like:
<TEI>
 <teiHeader> [ header information for the group ] </teiHeader>
 <text>
  <front> [ front matter for the group ] </front>
  <group>
   <text>
    <front> [ front matter of first text ] </front>
    <body> [ body of first text ] </body>
    <back> [ back matter of first text ] </back>
   </text>
   <text>
    <front> [ front matter of second text ] </front>
    <body> [ body of second text ] </body>
    <back> [ back matter of second text ] </back>
   </text> [ more texts or groups of texts here ] </group>
  <back> [ back matter for the group ] </back>
 </text>
</TEI>

In cases where a document appears to contain a group of texts but the above condition is not met, encode each unit as a div with an appropriate type attribute.

3.4 Structural Divisions

Tite uses numbered div elements: div1 through div7, which stand for levels of nesting within a text. div1s nest inside or are contained by the front, body, and back elements, div2s nest inside or are contained by div1s, etc. The document's table of contents is often a good place to find cues about where structural divisions start and end; other cues can be blank pages, recurring typographical or ornamental features, or a numbering system ("Chapter 5" etc.). Also, the presence of a heading will often indicate the beginning of a division.

The type attribute should be used to express the type of division being marked. Where present, use the unit name given in the document itself. Though any constrained enumerated list of type values will have to be determined on a job-by-job basis, some examples of appropriate division types are:
  • act
  • article
  • book
  • chapter
  • essay
  • letter
  • part
  • scene
  • section
  • subsection
For a good example of extensive use of enumerated lists to constrain possible types, see the University of Virginia Library's DLPS vendor specification.
The n attribute should be used to record sequential labels associated with a structural division (numbers, numerals, letters). When present, these labels should also be transcribed within the head tag. For instance:
<div n="III" type="part">
 <head>III: It Awakes</head> [...]
</div>
When a heading is present, encode it with the head tag. If there is more than one heading at the beginning of a given division, encode each heading separately, using the type attribute to distinguish them. Appropriate values are:
  • main
  • sub (subtitle)
  • alt (alternate)
  • desc (descriptive)

3.4.1 False Indicators

A divisional title is a page that resembles a half-title page: it displays the title or heading of a major structural unit on an otherwise blank page. Divisional titles should be encoded not with a separate div element, but as a head within the appropriate div. For half-title pages and similar fly-title pages see the section on Front Matter.

Another potential false indication of a new structural division is an ornament used as an informal division: a printer's ornament of some sort, a string of asterisks or periods, or a horizontal line. Mark these with the special ornament element. If the ornament is a horizontal line or printer's device or otherwise not transcribable, make the element empty and include an appropriate type attribute (line or ornament); if the ornament is made up of characters, supply characters as the type value and transcribe the characters into ornament's content.

3.5 Front and Back Matter

Front and back matter should be encoded with the front and back elements, respectively. div1 elements should contain the major sections and should be characterized by type attribute values. The exception, however, is the title page, which should be encoded with the titlePage element. The titlePart element should have type attributes like for head but with one addition (volume):
  • main
  • sub (subtitle)
  • desc (descriptive title)
  • alt (alternate title)
  • volume (volume information)
<titePart type="volume"> should be used to encode volume information wherever it is found on the title page, even if it is separated from the other title information. Here is the element class that forms the titlePage content model:
<!ENTITY %
model.titlepagePart "graphic | byline | epigraph | docTitle | titlePart |
docAuthor | docEdition | docImprint | docDate | figure | ornament"
>

Information on the verso of the title page should be included as well (after a pb).

Common items to encode in front and back matter -- and therefore common type attribute values for front and back divisions are:
  • acknowledgements
  • advertisement
  • castlist
  • contents
  • dedication
  • fly-title
  • foreword
  • introduction
  • preface
  • appendix (back)
  • bibliography (back)
  • colophon (back)
  • glossary (back)
  • index (back)

Half-title and fly-title pages may be encountered in the front matter. A half-title page precedes the title page proper and sometimes includes volume or series information; a fly-title page comes at the very end of the front matter, just before the body. In the case of half-titles, encode these as <div1 type="half-title"> (with titlePart elements as appropriate); in the case of fly-titles, encode them likewise with <div1 type="fly-title">, making sure to make the fly-title division the last part of the front matter (and not the first part of the body, as may seem reasonable as well).

4 Types of Text

Tite is equipped to support basic encoding of several types of text: in terms of genre, it supports prose, verse, and drama, and in terms of format, it supports books, newspapers, pamphlets, and other similar printed material. Tite has special tags for letters, verse, drama, and newspapers.

4.1 Letters

opener and closer are elements designed to encode the beginning and ending sections of letters, prefaces, diary entries, or other personal types of writing. Both elements contain:
  • dateline: for recording time and place of composition
    • use date with type value (formatted yyyy-mm-dd) to record date information
  • signed: for recording a signature
  • salute: for recording salutation at the beginning ("Dear Roger,") or end ("Yours truly,")
opener contains addition elements that are not intended for use with letters:
  • argument: for a summary that precedes a division
  • byline: for a statement of responsibility for the document
However, the last opener-specific element, epigraph, will often be useful in the context of a letter. When encoding an epigraph, make sure to encode the content as you would any other feature, marking line groups, bibliographical elements, etc.

4.2 Verse

All verse should be encoded within at least one lg tag, even when there are no distinct stanzas or when the verse is interspersed with prose. If it is known, use the type attribute to express the type of line group. Sometimes within a poem there is a question about what should be tagged as a lg or as a separate div. As a rough rule of thumb, if there is a title accompanying the division, use the div tag; otherwise, use lg.

Each line of verse should be encoded with the l tag, and care should be taken to distinguish these logical lines of verse from lines motivated by page layout. The latter should be encoded as lbs. Thus
AS virtuous men pass mildly away, And whisper to their souls to go, Whilst some of their sad friends do say, "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No."
should be encoded as
<lg type="stanza">
 <l>AS virtuous men pass mildly away,</l>
 <l rend="indent1">And whisper to their souls to <lb/> go,</l>
 <l>Whilst some of their sad friends<lb/> do say,</l>
 <l rend="indent1">
  <q>Now his breath goes,</q> and <lb/> some say,
 <q>No.</q>
 </l>
</lg>
Also, as in the example above, use the rend attribute to mark when a line is indented more than its siblings. Using ‘numbered’ indent values (e.g. "indent1", "indent2", etc.) makes clear different levels of indentation.

4.3 Drama

The standard TEI elements for drama should be used: sp, stage, speaker. If the who attribute is used on sp, also transcribe who is written as the speaker, in whatever form in which it is written, in the speaker tag. Short pieces of stage direction that accompany the speaker designation may be included in the speaker tag.

Scenes and acts should be encoded as appropriately nested div elements with type attributes of scene or act, respectively. Cast lists can likewise be encoded used div and type="castlist".

Prologues and epilogues can be treated as sps of their own, unless their structure would be better represented by nesting these in div tags.

4.4 Newspapers

Tite includes the elements cols and cb which are well suited for the multi-column layout of newspapers. Decisions about how to render the layout in markup may not be well addressed here, but as an example of project-specific specifications see the University of Virginia Library's documentation.

5 Block-level Features

5.1 Block Quotations

Use the q element to encode block quotations, but not inline quotations. A block quotation is indicated by its being set off from surrounding text either with extra line-spacing or margins or with a different typeface. If necessary, an entire quoted text can go inside of a q tag, in which case a secondary TEI text hierarchy should nest inside of the quotation. This is preferable to employing an ambiguous use of div elements (where it is not clear whether the div is a structure in the containing text or the quoted text). Thus this is desirable:
<div1 type="intro">
 <p>[ . . . ]</p>
 <p>[ . . . ]</p>
 <q>[ here's a poem ]</q>
 <p>[ . . . ]</p>
</div1>
and this is not:
<div1 type="introduction">
 <div2 type="stuff before the poem">
  <p>[ . . . ]</p>
 </div2>
 <div2 type="poem">
  <lg>
   <l>here's a poem</l>
  </lg>
 </div2>
 <div2 type="stuff after the poem">
  <p>[ . . . ]</p>
 </div2>
</div1>

A q tag should not have any affect on the presence of quotation marks: if they are there, transcribe them.

5.2 Figures

If a figure has a heading or caption, encode it with the head tag. If there is associated text, simply use a p to encode it.

5.3 Tables and Lists

If a cell in a table is a heading or a label, use the role attribute on the cell tag and set it to label; if the cell contains data, there is no need to use role: data is the default. If a cell or row spans more than one column or row, use the rows or cols attributes set to the number of columns or rows that it spans.

If unsure about whether a structure is best encoded as a list or table, record it as a table only if it would not be properly understood without tabular layout.

TEI lists are either sequences of items or label-item pairs. If a list has the latter structure, be sure to encode each part.

5.4 Notes

Both the reference to the note in the running text and the note itself must be encoded. Use ptr or ref to encode the reference. If there is no reference in the text (often the case for marginal notes), supply a ptr element in a reasonable place in the text running beside the note. If there is a reference (number, symbol, etc.), use the ref element and include the reference text as the content. In both cases, a target attribute must be supplied which contains the xml:id value of the associated note.

When encoding the note itself with the note tag, the xml:id and place attributes must be supplied. See the TEI documentation for acceptable values for place; the most common will be foot, end, margin-left (-right, -top, -bot).

Transcribe the note directly after it is referenced in the document. In the case of notes without explicit reference (pointed to with ptr), set the anchored attribute to false.

5.5 ‘divWrapper’ Elements

Elements that can appear at the beginning and end of structural divisions, such as argument, epigraph, and opener, are called ‘divWrapper’ elements in the TEI class system. An argument is a summary, often peppered with dashes, of what is to come; be sure to distinguish this from a heading, which is a title for the division. If an epigraph comes with bibliographic or simple citation material, encode this as well. For example:
<epigraph>
 <cit>
  <q>"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every
     form of tyranny over the mind of man."</q>
  <bibl>
   <author>Thomas Jefferson.</author>
  </bibl>
 </cit>
</epigraph>

5.6 Uncertain Blocks

In rare cases in which the logical identity of a block-level element is hard to discern, use the TEI element ab (anonymous block) instead of applying a p or div tag. In these cases, be sure to document this decision in accompanying notes. Applying this element should be viewed as a last resort.

The gap element should be used when for some reason the document being transcribed contains illegible text (smudged, torn, missing, etc.) or something outside the scope of transcription for a given project: characters in an unsupported character set, for instance. gap indicates that something is omitted. When using gap, set the reason attribute to an appropriate value. (See unclear below.)

6 Phrase-level features

6.1 Typographical Changes

There are six elements in Tite that capture specific typographical features:
  • for bold-face glyphs
  • for italicized glyphs
  • for underlined glyphs
  • for glyphs in small-caps
  • for glyphs in subscript
  • for glyphs in superscript
These mark the physical change, and are agnostic about a logical motivation for it. There are two exceptions to this approach, however: marking foreign words and titles. In the case of foreign words, use the foreign tag; in the case of titles, use the title tag only if certain that the word or phrase in question is a title. If a phrase is, say, italicized but you are uncertain about its being a title, use the i tag instead. Foreign words should be marked only if they are typographically distinguished from surrounding text.

If there is a typographical feature not covered by the above elements, the TEI hi tag is still available in Tite. Enumerated lists of attribute values for hi's rend attribute should be negotiated job-by-job.

6.2 Alignment and Indentation

If the alignment of an element seems remarkable, set the element's rend attribute to an appropriate value (normally center, right, left, etc.). However, exhaustive description of alignment is not necessary. Headings, for instance, do not need to be marked as being centered, etc.

6.3 Punctuation

Standard keyboard punctuation marks should suffice for transcribing document punctuation except in the case of the ampersand, which must be represented with the entity reference &mp; in an XML document.

6.4 Uncertain Segments

The seg element is the phrase-level analogue to the ab tag. If a phrase-level feature seems to be present but its identity is hard to fathom, use this tag. This, again, is a kind of last resort.

Alternately, when a passage of text is for some reason too hard to discern, use the unclear element, setting the reason attribute to an appropriate value. When using unclear, surround the entire word with the tag if any part of it is unclear (not just the illegible letter, say).

7 Reference Systems

Encode page breaks (pb) at the start of each page, and encode breaks even for blank pages. If the page is numbered, include the page number as the value of the n attribute and no matter where the page number is printed on the page, place the pb tag at the "top."

If marking column breaks, follow the same rules as for page breaks. Column breaks are imagined to appear at the top of the column, at the beginning of the column's text. The cols element exists to record a change in columnar layout. If such a change occurs, mark the beginning of the new layout with cols and supply the new number of columns as the value for the n attribute.

If line breaks are to be captured, use the lb element.

Appendixes

Appendix A Substantive changes from P4

The TEI Tite conforms to the TEI P5 Guidelines, which makes a number of changes from the TEI P4 Guidelines. The following brief list indicates some of the major changes in P4 encoding practice which will need to be employed for P5 conformance.

Appendix B Formal specification

With the exception of two added elements and six easily convertible ‘convenience elements’, the TEI Tite is a pure subset of the TEI, modelled by stripping down the TEI Lite. All of the elements defined in it are taken from the following standard TEI modules: tei, core, header, textstructure, figures, and linking.

The following elements from those modules are excluded from the schema in both the TEI Lite and Tite: alt, altGrp, altIdent, analytic, attDef, attList, attRef, biblItem, biblStruct, binaryObject, broadcast, cb, classSpec, classes, content, correction, datatype, defaultVal, desc, distinct, div0, egXML, elementSpec, equipment, equiv, exemplum, fsdDecl, headItem, headLabel, hyphenation, imprimatur, interpretation, join, joinGrp, link, linkGrp, listRef, macroSpec, measure, meeting, memberOf, metDecl, metSym, moduleRef, moduleSpec, monogr, normalization, postBox, postCode, quotation, quote, recording, recordingStmt, remarks, schemaSpec, scriptStmt, segmentation, series, specDesc, specGrp, specGrpRef, specList, state, stdVals, street, stringVal, tag, timeline, valDesc, valItem, valList, variantEncoding, when.

Tite excludes the modules analysis and tagdocs where Lite includes some elements from these modules. Therefore Tite is less those elements as well.

The following elements are excluded in the TEI Lite but included in Tite: ab, div1, div2, div3, div4, div5, div6, div7.

The following are the elements that Tite excludes from the TEI Lite: addaltIdent, biblFull, choice, corr, del, divGen, emph, expan, gloss, imprint, index, mentioned, orig, reg, rs, sic, soCalled, teiCorpus, term, divanchor.

Finally, the following are the elements that Tite adds to the TEI: b, i, ul, smcap, sub, sup, cols, and ornament.

Here is the TEI Tite schema itself:

Classes defined

att.ascribed

att.ascribed

att.ascribed provides attributes for elements representing speech or action that can be ascribed to a specific individual.
Module tei
Members change q said sp
Attributes In addition to global attributes
who indicates the person, or group of people, to whom the element content is ascribed.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values For transcribed speech, this will typically identify a participant or participant group; in other contexts, it will point to any identified person element.

att.datable

att.datable

att.datable provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain dates, times, or datable events.
Module tei
Members application date time
Attributes Global attributes and those inherited from [att.datable.w3c ]
Note
This ‘superclass’ provides attributes that can be used to provide normalized values of temporal information. By default, the attributes from the att.datable.w3c class are provided. If the module for names & dates is loaded, this class also provides attributes from the att.datable.iso class. In general, the possible values of attributes restricted to the W3C datatypes form a subset of those values available via the ISO 8601 standard. However, the greater expressiveness of the ISO datatypes may not be needed, and there exists much greater software support for the W3C datatypes.

att.datable.w3c

att.datable.w3c

att.datable.w3c provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events using the W3C datatypes.
Module tei
Members att.datable [ application date time]
Attributes In addition to global attributes
period supplies a pointer to some location defining a named period of time within which the datable item is understood to have occurred.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
when supplies the value of a date or time in a standard form.

Note
The value of the when attribute is a string representing a date or time, or both, in any one of the following forms:
  • a date in any of the standard formats described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. most commonly yyyy-mm-dd, but also yyyy, --mm, ---dd, yyyy-mm, or --mm-dd
  • a time in the standard format described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. hh:mm:ss
  • a combined date and time in any of the standard formats described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
The value of when is constrained to be in one of the date, time, or combined date & time formats recognized by the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes specification. This is true whether the date component (if any) is a Gregorian or a proleptic Gregorian date.
At the time of this writing, the W3C does not permit the year 0000, which would normally be used to represent the year 1 BCE. Using the current W3C system, the year 1 BCE is indicated with -0001, the year 2 BCE with -0002, etc.
It is the intention of the XML Schema Working Group to allow 0000 as … the lexical representation of 1 BCE (which is a leap year), -0001 will become the lexical representation of 2 BCE, -0002 of 3 BCE, etc.
Thus in some cases it may be advantageous to use the when-iso attribute to indicate years BCE instead.
notBefore specifies the earliest possible date for the event in standard form, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.

att.editLike

att.editLike provides attributes describing the nature of a encoded scholarly intervention or interpretation of any kind.
Module tei
Members date gap time unclear
Attributes In addition to global attributes
source contains a list of one or more pointers indicating the sources which support the given reading.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values A space-delimited series of sigla; each sigil should correspond to a witness or witness group and occur as the value of the xml:id attribute on a witness or msDesc element elsewhere in the document.

att.global

att.global

att.global provides attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme.
Module tei
Members b cols i ornament smcap sub sup ul
Attributes In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.global.linking ]
xml:id (identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:ID
Values any valid XML identifier .
Note
The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section .
n (number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Values any string of characters; often, but not necessarily, numeric.
Note
The n attribute may be used to specify the numbering of chapters, sections, list items, etc.; it may also be used in the specification of a standard reference system for the text.
xml:lang (language) indicates the language of the element content using a ‘tag’ generated according to BCP 47
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:language
Values The value must conform to BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-) it should, and if not it may, match the value of an ident attribute of a language element supplied in the TEI Header of the current document.
Note
If no value is specified for xml:lang, the xml:lang value for the immediately enclosing element is inherited; for this reason, a value should always be specified on the outermost element (TEI).
rend (rendition) indicates how the element in question was rendered or presented in the source text.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Values any string of characters; if the typographic rendition of a text is to be systematically recorded, a systematic set of values for the rend attribute should be defined.
<head rend="align(center) case(allcaps)"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
 <lb/>To The
<lb/>Duchesse
<lb/>of
<lb/>Newcastle,
<lb/>On Her
<lb/>
 <hi rend="case(mixed)">New Blazing-World</hi>.

</head>
Note
These Guidelines make no binding recommendations for the values of the rend attribute; the characteristics of visual presentation vary too much from text to text and the decision to record or ignore individual characteristics varies too much from project to project. Some potentially useful conventions are noted from time to time at appropriate points in the Guidelines.
rendition points to a description of the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source text.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values one or more URIs, separated by white space.
<head rendition="#ac #sc"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
 <lb/>To The
<lb/>Duchesse
<lb/>of
<lb/>Newcastle,
<lb/>On Her
<lb/>
 <hi rendition="#no">New Blazing-World</hi>.

</head>
<!-- elsewhere... -->
<rendition xml:id="sc" scheme="css">font-variant: smallcaps</rendition>
<rendition xml:id="no" scheme="css">font-variant: normal</rendition>
<rendition xml:id="ac" scheme="css">text-align: center</rendition>
Note
The rendition attribute is used in a very similar way to the class attribute defined for XHTML but with the important distinction that its function is to describe the appearance of the source text, not necessarily to determine how that text should be presented on screen or paper.
Where both rendition and rend are supplied, the latter is understood to override or complement the former.
Each URI provided should indicate a rendition element defining the intended rendition in terms of some appropriate style language, as indicated by the scheme attribute.
xml:base provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values any syntactically valid URI reference.

Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }
Values The value should be a valid MIME media type
Note
This attribute class provides attributes for describing a computer resource, typically available over the internet, according to standard taxonomies. At present only a single taxonomy is supported, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions Media Type system. This system of typology of media types is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force in RFC 2046. The list of types is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.

att.measurement

att.measurement

att.measurement provides attributes to represent a regularized or normalized measurement.
Module tei
Members measureGrp
Attributes In addition to global attributes
unit indicates the units used for the measurement, usually using the standard symbol for the desired units.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Suggested values include:
m (metre) SI base unit of length
kg (kilogram) SI base unit of mass
s (second) SI base unit of time
Hz (hertz) SI unit of frequency
Pa (pascal) SI unit of pressure or stress
Ω (ohm) SI unit of electric resistance
L (litre) 1 dmł
t (tonne) 10ł kg
ha (hectare) 1 hm˛
Å (ĺngström) 10⁻ą⁰ m
mL (millilitre)
cm (centimetre)
dB (decibel) see remarks, below

MB (megabyte) 10⁶ or 1 000 000 bytes
MiB (mebibyte) 2˛⁰ or 1 048 576 bytes
Note
If the measurement being represented is not expressed in a particular unit, but rather is a number of discrete items, the unit count should be used, or the unit attribute may be left unspecified.
Wherever appropriate, a recognised SI unit name should be used (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/si/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). The list above is indicative rather than exhaustive.
quantity specifies the number of the specified units that comprise the measurement
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:double | xsd:decimal
commodity indicates the substance that is being measured
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Note
In general, when the commodity is made of discrete entities, the plural form should be used, even when the measurement is of only one of them.
Note
This attribute class provides a triplet of attributes that may be used either to regularize the values of the measurement being encoded, or to normalize them with respect to a standard measurement system.

<!-- regularization:--><l
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">So weren't you gonna buy <measure quantity="0.5" unit="gal" commodity="ice cream">half a gallon</measure>, baby</l>
<!-- normalization: -->
<l>So won't you go and buy <measure quantity="1.893" unit="L" commodity="ice cream">half a gallon</measure>,
baby?</l>
Note
The unit should normally be named using the standard abbreviation for an SI unit (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/si/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). However, encoders may also specify measurements using informally defined units such as lines or characters.

Attributes In addition to global attributes
type categorizes the pointer in some respect, using any convenient set of categories.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Values The type should indicate the intended function of the pointer, or the rhetorical relationship between its source and target.
evaluate specifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer.
Status Optional
Legal values are:
all if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then the target of that pointer will be taken, and so on, until an element is found which is not a pointer.
one if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then its target (whether a pointer or not) is taken as the target of this pointer.
none no further evaluation of targets is carried out beyond that needed to find the element specified in the pointer's target.

cols (columns) indicates the number of columns occupied by this cell or row.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Values A number; a value greater than one indicates that this cell or row spans several columns.
Note

ab

<ab> (anonymous block) contains any arbitrary component-level unit of text, acting as an anonymous container for phrase or inter level elements analogous to, but without the semantic baggage of, a paragraph. «#SASE»
Module linking
Parents model.pLike
Attributes In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.typed ]
part specifies whether or not the block is complete.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Legal values are:
Y (yes) the block is incomplete
N (no) either the block is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness [Default]
I (initial) the initial part of an incomplete block
M (medial) a medial part of an incomplete block
F (final) the final part of an incomplete block
Note
The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the block is to be reconstituted.
Declaration

   att.typed.attribute.type,
   attribute part { "Y" | "N" | "I" | "M" | "F" }?,
   macro.paraContent
}
Note
The ab element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined.

abbr

<abbr> (abbreviation) contains an abbreviation of any sort. «#CONAAB»
Module core
Parents model.pPart.editorial model.choicePart
Attributes In addition to global attributes
type allows the encoder to classify the abbreviation according to some convenient typology.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Sample values include:
suspension the abbreviation provides the first letter(s) of the word or phrase, omitting the remainder.
contraction the abbreviation omits some letter(s) in the middle.
brevigraph the abbreviation comprises a special symbol or mark.
superscription the abbreviation includes writing above the line.
acronym the abbreviation comprises the initial letters of the words of a phrase.
title the abbreviation is for a title of address (Dr, Ms, Mr, …)
organization the abbreviation is for the name of an organization.
geographic the abbreviation is for a geographic name.
Note
The type attribute is provided for the sake of those who wish to classify abbreviations at their point of occurrence; this may be useful in some circumstances, though usually the same abbreviation will have the same type in all occurrences. As the sample values make clear, abbreviations may be classified by the method used to construct them, the method of writing them, or the referent of the term abbreviated; the typology used is up to the encoder and should be carefully planned to meet the needs of the expected use. For a typology of Middle English abbreviations, see
Declaration 
element abbr

 <abbr>SPQR</abbr>
 <expan>senatus populusque romanorum</expan>
</choice>
Note
The abbr tag is not required; if appropriate, the encoder may transcribe abbreviations in the source text silently, without tagging them. If abbreviations are not transcribed directly but expanded silently, then the TEI header should so indicate.

addrLine

<addrLine> (address line) contains one line of a postal address. «#CONAAD» «#HD24» «#COBICOI»
Module core

Note
Addresses may be encoded either as a sequence of lines, or using any sequence of component elements from the model.addrPart class. Other non-postal forms of address, such as telephone numbers or email, should not be included within an address element directly but may be wrapped within an addrLine if they form part of the printed address in some source text.

cRefPattern

<cRefPattern> (canonical reference pattern) specifies an expression and replacement pattern for tranforming a canonical reference into a URI. «#HD54M» «#HD54» «#HD54S»
Module header
Parents refsDecl
Attributes In addition to global attributes
matchPattern specifies a regular expression against which the values of cRef attributes can be matched.
Status Required
Datatype token
Values must be a regular expression according to the W3C XML Schema Language
Note
Parenthesised groups are used not only for establishing order of precedence and atoms for quantification, but also for creating subpatterns to be referenced by the replacementPattern attribute.
replacementPattern specifies a ‘replacement pattern’ which, once subpattern substitution has been performed, provides a URI.
Status Required
Datatype text
Values Should be the skeleton of a relative or absolute URI, with references to groups in the matchPattern.
Note
The strings ‘$1’ through ‘$9’ are references to the corresponding group in the regular expression specified by re (counting open parenthesis, left to right). Processors are expected to replace them with whatever matched the corresponding group in the regular expression.
If a digit preceded by a dollar sign is needed in the actual replacement pattern (as opposed to being used as a back reference), the dollar sign must be written as %24.

Example

The most common use for the head element is to mark the headings of sections. In older writings, the headings or incipits may be rather longer than usual in modern works. If a section has an explicit ending as well as a heading, it should be marked as a trailer, as in this example:

<div1 n="I" type="book"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
 <head>In the name of Christ here begins
   the first book of the ecclesiastical history of Georgius
   Florentinus, known as Gregory, Bishop of Tours.</head>
 <list>
  <head>Chapter-Headings</head>
 </list>
 <div2 type="section">
  <head>In the name of Christ here begins Book I of the
     history.</head>
  <p>Proposing as I do ...</p>
  <p>From the Passion of our Lord until the death of Saint Martin
     four hundred and twelve years passed.</p>
  <trailer>Here ends the first Book, which covers five thousand,
     five hundred and ninety-six years from the beginning of the
     world down to the death of Saint Martin.</trailer>
 </div2>
</div1>
Example

The head element is also used to mark headings of other units, such as lists:

With a few exceptions, connectives are equally useful in
all kinds of discourse: description, narration, exposition,
argument.
<list type="simple"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
 <head>Connectives</head>
 <item>above</item>
 <item>accordingly</item>
 <item>across from</item>
 <item>adjacent to</item>
 <item>again</item>
 <item>
<!-- ... -->
 </item>
</list>
Note
The head element is used for headings at all levels; software which treats (e.g.) chapter headings, section headings, and list titles differently must determine the proper processing of a head element based on its structural position. A head occurring as the first element of a list is the title of that list; one occurring as the first element of a div1 is the title of that chapter or section.

Whatever string of characters is used to label a list item in the copy text may be used as the value of the global n attribute, but it is not required that numbering be recorded explicitly. In ordered lists, the n attribute on the item element is by definition synonymous with the use of the label element to record the enumerator of the list item. In glossary lists, however, the term being defined should be given with the label element, not n.

Labels may also be used to record explicitly the numbers or letters which mark list items in ordered lists, as in this extract from Gibbon's Autobiography. In this usage the label element is synonymous with the n attribute on the item element:

I will add two facts, which have seldom occurred in
the composition of six, or at least of five quartos.
<list rend="runon" type="ordered"

Note
On this element, the global n attribute indicates the number or other value associated with the line which follows the point of insertion of this lb. Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as to whether the numbers associated with line breaks relate to the physical sequence number of the line within the page, or to some aspect of the logical structure of the text. By convention, lb elements should appear at the start of the line to which they refer.
The lb tag is intended for making typographic line breaks in prose. It should be carefully distinguished from the l element, used to mark lines of verse.

Suggested values include:
ordered list items are numbered or lettered.
bulleted list items are marked with a bullet or other typographic device.
simple list items are not numbered or bulleted. [Default]
gloss each list item glosses some term or concept, which is given by a label element preceding the list item.
Note
The formal syntax of the element declarations allows label tags to be omitted from lists tagged list type="gloss"; this is however a semantic error.

The following example treats the short numbered clauses of Anglo-Saxon legal codes as lists of items. The text is from an ordinance of King Athelstan (924–939):

<div1 type="section"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
 <head>Athelstan's Ordinance</head>
 <list type="ordered">
  <item n="1">Concerning thieves. First, that no thief is to be
     spared who is caught with the stolen goods, [if he is] over
     twelve years and [if the value of the goods is] over eightpence.
  <list type="ordered">
    <item n="1.1">And if anyone does spare one, he is to pay for the
         thief with his wergild — and the thief is to be no nearer a
         settlement on that account — or to clear himself by an oath of
         that amount.</item>
    <item n="1.2">If, however, he [the thief] wishes to defend himself
         or to escape, he is not to be spared [whether younger or older
         than twelve].</item>
    <item n="1.3">If a thief is put into prison, he is to be in prison
         40 days, and he may then be redeemed with 120 shillings; and the
         kindred are to stand surety for him that he will desist for ever.</item>
    <item n="1.4">And if he steals after that, they are to pay for him
         with his wergild, or to bring him back there.</item>
    <item n="1.5">And if he steals after that, they are to pay
         for him with his wergild, whether to the king or to him
         to whom it rightly belongs; and everyone of those who
         supported him is to pay 120 shillings to the king as a fine.</item>
   </list>
  </item>
  <item n="2">Concerning lordless men. And we pronounced about these
     lordless men, from whom no justice can be obtained, that one
     should order their kindred to fetch back such a person to justice
     and to find him a lord in public meeting.
  <list type="ordered">
    <item n="2.1">And if they then will not, or cannot, produce him on
         that appointed day, he is then to be a fugitive afterwards, and
         he who encounters him is to strike him down as a thief.</item>
    <item n="2.2">And he who harbours him after that, is to pay for him
         with his wergild or to clear himself by an oath of that amount.</item>

  <item n="3">Concerning the refusal of justice. The lord who
     refuses justice and upholds his guilty man, so that the king is
     appealed to, is to repay the value of the goods and 120 shillings
     to the king; and he who appeals to the king before he demands
     justice as often as he ought, is to pay the same fine as the
     other would have done, if he had refused him justice.

    <item n="3.1">And the lord who is an accessory to a theft by his
         slave, and it becomes known about him, is to forfeit the slave

         reeves, who has been an accessory of thieves who have committed
         theft, is to liable to the same.</item>

     forfeit his life if he cannot deny it or is afterwards convicted
     at the three-fold ordeal.</item>

Module core
Parents model.milestoneLike
Attributes In addition to global attributes
ed (edition) indicates the edition or version to which the milestone applies.
Status Recommended
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
unit provides a conventional name for the kind of section changing at this milestone.
Status Required
Datatype xsd:Name
Suggested values include:
page physical page breaks (synonymous with the pb element).
column column breaks.
line line breaks (synonymous with the lb element).
book any units termed book, liber, etc.
poem individual poems in a collection.
canto cantos or other major sections of a poem.
stanza stanzas within a poem, book, or canto.
act acts within a play.
scene scenes within a play or act.
section sections of any kind.
absent passages not present in the reference edition.
Note
If the milestone marks the beginning of a piece of text not present in the reference edition, the special value absent may be used as the value of unit. The normal interpretation is that the reference edition does not contain the text which follows, until the next milestone tag for the edition in question is encountered.
In addition to the values suggested, other terms may be appropriate (e.g. Stephanus for the Stephanus numbers in Plato).

Note
For this element, the global n attribute indicates the new number or other value for the unit which changes at this milestone. The special value unnumbered should be used in passages which fall outside the normal numbering scheme (e.g. chapter heads, poem numbers or titles, or speaker attributions in verse drama).
The order in which milestone elements are given at a given point is not normally significant.

Datatype xsd:Name
Values Values can be taken from any convenient typology of annotation suitable to the work in hand; e.g. annotation, gloss, citation, digression, preliminary, temporary
resp (responsible party) indicates who is responsible for the annotation: author, editor, translator, etc.
Status Required when applicable
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values a pointer to one of the identifiers declared in the document header, associated with a person asserted as responsible for some aspect of the text's creation, transcription, editing, encoding, or annotation
Note
For specialized types of editorial annotation (e.g. for marking corrections, normalizations, cruxes, etc.), see chapter .
anchored indicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:boolean
Note
In modern texts, notes are usually anchored by means of explicit footnote or endnote symbols. An explicit indication of the phrase or line annotated may however be used instead (e.g. ‘page 218, lines 3–4’). The anchored attribute indicates whether any explicit location is given, whether by symbol or by prose cross-reference. The value true indicates that such an explicit location is indicated in the copy text; the value false indicates that the copy text does not indicate a specific place of attachment for the note. If the specific symbols used in the copy text at the location the note is anchored are to be recorded, use the n attribute.
target indicates the point (or points) of attachment for a note, or the beginning of the span to which the note is attached.
Status Required when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values reference to the xml:ids of element(s) which begin at the location in question (e.g. the xml:id of an anchor element).
Note
If target and targetEnd are to be used to indicate where notes attach to the text, then elements at the appropriate locations (anchor elements if necessary) must be given xml:id values to be pointed at.
targetEnd points to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
Status Required when applicable

length specifies the fixed length of the reference component.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Values Should be a positive integer; if no value is provided, the length is unlimited and goes to the next delimiter or to the end of the value.
Note
When constructing a reference, if the reference component found is of numeric type, the length is made up by inserting leading zeros; if it is not, by inserting trailing blanks. In either case, reference components are truncated if necessary at the right hand side.
When seeking a reference, the length indicates the number of characters which should be compared. Values longer than this will be regarded as matching, if they start correctly.
delim (delimiter) supplies a delimiting string following the reference component.

Note
The seg element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any segments of the text of interest for processing. One use of the element is to mark text features for which no appropriate markup is otherwise defined — i.e. as a simple extension mechanism. Another use is to provide an identifier for some segment which is to be pointed at by some other element — i.e. to provide a target, or a part of a target, for a ptr or other similar element.
