So one thing you could do is use <note place="foot">
, which will give you an asterisk and a pop-up note.
Or you could use the <ab type="apparatus">
approach:
<lg type="verse" xml:id="HV_03_6">
<l>...saṃgraha-sususthitā<anchor n="HV_03_6_n1"/></l>
<l>...</l>
</lg>
<ab type="apparatus" corresp="#HV_03_6">
<list type="notes">
<item corresp="#HV_03_6_n1">1. śobhanam āsthitā <term xml:lang="en">Ed.</term></item>
</list>
</ab>
How to encode a note that contains two languages, such as Sanskrit and English?
Plus, I had to include "Ed" to the witness list. Which seems not quite the right thing to do. Firstly, while it might be metrically possible for
śobhanam āsthitā
to be a variant reading, it is more likely a gloss for susthitā, which the editor (Ed.) has extracted from Alaka's commentary. It does not follow his usual convention of first giving the sigla, then their reading. I tried something like<app><note n="1" place="bottom margin">śobhanam āsthitā <div xml:lang="en">Ed.</div></note><app>
, but the note was displayed in the running text instead of the apparatus. Oh, and one would probably also want a way for the footnote numbers to be displayed.
