What is it?
Strictly speaking, the <p>
tag is only used to mark paragraphs in prose. When transcribing manuscripts (not typescripts!), however, formatting and hierarchical issues oblige us to use it to open and close every <div type="page">
as well. A typical manuscript page will therefore be transcribed as follows:
<div type="page" rend="recto" n="01r"> <pb n="01r"/> <p> <seg>…</seg> <seg>…</seg> <seg>…</seg> <seg>…</seg> </p> </div>
If the first two sentences (<seg>
) of that page are separated from the second two sentences by means of a paragraph break, the page is transcribed as follows:
<div type="page" rend="recto" n="01r"> <pb n="01r"/> <p> <seg>…</seg> <seg>…</seg> </p> <p> <seg>…</seg> <seg>…</seg> </p> </div>
