ah, never mind: I can solve it with <add>
:
<p><!-- […] --> vom August bis December über 5000 eingewandert

Closed, only to be re-opened should there be the need to actually apply @hand
inside <metamark/>
!
Dear all, I had in the back of my mind that
@hand
had gone global not so long ago, but it is not allowed as an attribute for<metamark/>
.I think
@hand
should be allowed in<metamark/>
, just as<handShift/>
is allowed there, but for those who prefer the more light-weight use of attributes inside container element instead of<handShift/>
s.What I want to do is indicate that the "graphic or written signal within a document […] the function of which is to determine how it should be read rather than forming part of the actual content of the document" (Def.
<metamark/>
) was written by another hand, which is referenced in the@hand
-attribute as a value pointing to<handNote>
. E.g.Or to give you a better, real-world example: A.v. Humboldt, the addressee of a letter, uses "[" and "]" or rather similar-looking signs to mark a span inside a text which is to be treated in some special manner (so it's neither
<add>
nor<note>
):Please let me know if this should be discussed on the mailing list first, but IMO there's no discussion needed here, it's only consistent to allow
@hand
in<metamark/>
.
