| id | (identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the ID value. |
| Datatype: ID |
| Values: any valid SGML name (in the reference concrete syntax, a name
must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numeric digits,
hyphen, and full stop). |
| Default: #IMPLIED |
| Example:
<p id=names>Paragraph with the ID <mentioned>names</>....
<p id=dates>Paragraph with the ID <mentioned>dates</>....
|
| Note | The id attribute may be used to specify a
canonical reference for an element; see section 6.9 .
|
| n | (number, name, etc.) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not
necessarily unique within the document. |
| Datatype: CDATA |
| Values: any string of characters; often, but not necessarily, numeric. |
| Default: #IMPLIED |
| Example:
|
| Note | The n attribute may be used to specify the
numbering of chapters, sections, list items, etc.; it may also be used
in the specification of a standard reference system for the text.
|
| lang | (language) indicates the language of the element content, usually using a
two- or three-letter code from ISO 639. |
| Datatype: IDREF |
| Values: The value must be the identifier specified for a writing system
declaration declared in the TEI header, as described in section
5 . |
| Default: %INHERITED |
| Example:
<p lang=EN>The only surviving work by <rs>Ari</></rs>
(died 1148) is the ten-page <title
lang=IS>Íslendingabók</> (<title
lang=LA>Libellus Islandorum</>), written in the early
twelfth century.
|
| Note | If no value is specified for lang , the
lang value for the immediately enclosing element is
inherited; for this reason, a value should always be specified on the
outermost element (<tei.2> ).
|
| rend | (rendition or presentation) indicates how the element in question was rendered or presented in
the source text. |
| Datatype: CDATA |
| Values: any string of characters; if the typographic rendition of a
text is to be systematically recorded, a systematic set of values for
the rend attribute should be defined. |
| Default: #IMPLIED |
| Example:
|
| Note | These Guidelines make no binding recommendations for the
values of the rend attribute; the characteristics
of visual presentation vary too much from text to text and the decision
to record or ignore individual characteristics varies too much from
project to project. Some potentially useful conventions are noted from
time to time at appropriate points in the Guidelines.
