Empty lemma reference for iteration #113

Open stenskjaer opened 7 years ago

I'm not sure I agree with our decision to make annotation of iterations required to have empty an lemma.

The documentation says:

Another example of the present type where the present word is caused by an (erroneous) repetition.

spes
<app>
 <lem n="spes"/>
 <rdg wit="#A" type="variation-present" cause="repetition">spes</rdg>
</app>

10 spes iter. A

But generally we use empty lemma references to refer to things that are not present in the text. That is not the case here, as the word "spes" actually is there.

A more natural annotation seems to me to be:

<app>
  <lem>spes</lem>
  <rdg wit="#A" type="variation-substance" cause="repetition">spes spes</rdg>
</app>

Giving (with proper processing):

10 spes] iter. A

variation-present can't really be used, because that is reserved for cases where one witness has a word that is not printed in the text. So I suggest here variation-substance, but others may be better, I don't know. But the point is: The reference word is actually present in the text, it has just been repeated by one witness.
