What is it?
The <del> tag marks text that has been deleted in the by the author (scribe, proofreader, editor, etc.)
Attributes
We distinguish 4 different types of deletions:
- crossed out text (
type="crossedOut"), - overwritten text (
type="overwritten"), - instant corrections (
type="instantcorrection") - and text that was marked for deletion by underlining (
type="underlined").
The @hand attribute indicates the author of the addition. At the moment we distinguish between three different hands:
- handwritten deletions marked by Samuel Beckett (
hand="#SB"), - typewritten deletions marked by anyone – including Samuel Beckett (
hand="#typist"), - handwritten deletions not marked by Samuel Beckett (
hand="#unknown").
Please remember to start each @hand value with a hashtag (see: 'Special Case: xml:id'). For those rare cases where a handwritten deletion was not marked by Samuel Beckett and you do know who wrote it, start the value with a hashtag, followed by that person's initials. Make sure you also leave a <!--VINCENT: --> comment (see: <note>) that mentions that person's full name, so we can easily find it and declare it in the <teiHeader>.
The @rend attribute indicates the writing tool used to mark the deletion. At the moment we distinguish between 5 different writing tool renditions:
- additions made in blue ink (
rend="blue ink"), - additions made in black ink (
rend="black ink"), - additions made in ink darker than blue, but lighter than black: (
rend="blueblack ink"), - additions made in red ink (
rend="red ink") - supralinear made using a pencil (
rend="pencil")
The 'ink' in these cases can both be a pen's ink, or a typewriter's ink ribbon.
The @resp attribute indicates the person responsible for the deletion's transcription, and its value consists of a hashtag (#), followed by the transcriber's initials. Please use your own initials when transcribing a text, or correcting someone else's tags.
For the <del> tag, the @type, @hand, @rend, and @resp attributes are obligatory.
