we will also need to allow one of the following two options for representing that a previous edition emended but that our editions rejects the emendation:
<rdg wit="#MSK">vajrasattvety</rdg><witDetail wit="#MSK" type="emn"/>
<rdg wit="#MSK" type="emn>vajrasattvety</rdg>
So far, we have not allowed @type on <rdg>
. We should discuss pros and cons of allowing it.
I have added "unmetrical", "silemn" and "emn" as allowed values of witDetail/@type
in the schema. For the display, it would be too much work to straighten out what we have now, and this is going to be scrapped anyway, so I will just write the new code.
To answer your questions:
what if a reading is both unmetrical and a silent emendation?
It is not possible to use several @type
. The way to go, if we follow the TEI documentation, is to use several consecutive witDetail
:
<rdg wit="#MSK">vajrasattvety</rdg>
<witDetail wit="#MSK" type="unmetrical"/>
<witDetail wit="#MSK" type="silemn"/>
So far, we have not allowed @type on
<rdg>
. We should discuss pros and cons of allowing it.
From what I have gathered so far while reading the TEI documentation, your two options are equivalent. The second option (@type
on rdg
) could be used as shorthand.
We will need to implement and document some new values of @type on
<witDetail>
, namely@michaelnmmeyer : what if a reading is both unmetrical and a silent emendation? Is it possible to allow more than one value on @type? Or to allow more than on @type on
<witDetail>
?
