Superscripted abbreviation markers

[scottkleinman]

I recently came across "with" abbreviated "w^t". Is the most efficient way to encode this as follows?

<choice>
    <orig>w<am rend="superscript">t</am></orig>
    <reg>w<ex>ith</ex></reg>
</choice>

I don't want to use a combining "t" character since the "t" is not directly above the preceding character, and embedding <hi> inside <am> is not allowed in our current schema.

Yes, I think am[@ rend] is right and least obtrusive.

I don't suppose we have a list of elements on which we want or would like to put @ rend...? It would help for adjusting the XSL. I'll make my best guess the next time I get XSL-editing time, and we can refine from there. At the moment, only p and hi are sniffed for it, IIRC.

ETA Since reply via email doesn't shake hands with Markdown, I've added a space after @ to prevent invocation of the user named rend. (FFS.)

[scottkleinman]

It should be possible to do that. I'll look into it.

[scottkleinman]

Here's a start.

Guidelines explicitly state that the element takes @rend:

• pc
• hi
• note
• del
• ab

Guidelines state that appropriate block-level elements can take @rend. This presumably includes:

• divN
• head
• trailer
• p
• seg

Suggested from this thread:

• am

Thanks! In practice, I'd be surprised if we needed @rend on divn.

[scottkleinman]

Me too. I just grabbed the list of "higher-level block elements" from our Guidelines, but I didn't really think that @rend is appropriate for all of them.

I need actually to add them in the css file.
