Attribute
met (metrical structure, conventional) contains a user-specified encoding for the conventional metrical structure of the element.
Zustand Empfohlen
Datentyp
token
Werte May contain either a standard term for the kind of metrical unit (e.g. hexameter) or an encoded representation for the metrical pattern (e.g. +--+-+-+-+-). In either case, the notation used should be documented by a <metDecl> element within the <encodingDesc> of the associated header.
Anmerkung
Where this attribute is not specified, the metrical pattern for the element concerned is understood to be inherited from its parent.
real (metrical structure, realized) contains a user-specified encoding for the actual realization of the conventional metrical structure applicable to the element.

Werte May contain either a standard term for the kind of metrical unit (e.g. hexameter) or an encoded representation for the metrical pattern (e.g. +--+-+-+-+-). In either case, the notation used should be documented by a <metDecl> element within the <encodingDesc> of the associated header.
Anmerkung
Where this attribute is not specified, the metrical realization for the element concerned is understood to be identical to that specified or implied for the met attribute.
rhyme (rhyme scheme) specifies the rhyme scheme applicable to a group of verse lines.

Werte By default, the rhyme scheme is expressed as a string of alphabetic characters each corresponding with a rhyming line. Any non-rhyming lines should be represented by a hyphen or an X. Alternative notations may be defined as for met by use of the <metDecl> element in the TEI header.
Anmerkung
When the default notation is used, it does not make sense to specify this attribute on any unit smaller than a line. Nor does the default notation provide any way to record internal rhyme, or to specify non-conventional rhyming practice. These extensions would require user-defined alternative notations.
