Beispiel | An American encoding of Gulliver's Travels which retains the British spelling but also provides a version regularized to American spelling might be encoded as follows. <p>Lastly, That, upon his solemn oath to observe all the above articles, the said man-mountain shall have a daily allowance of meat and drink sufficient for the support of <choice> <sic>1724</sic> <corr>1728</corr> </choice> of our subjects, with free access to our royal person, and other marks of our <choice> <orig>favour</orig> <reg>favor</reg> </choice>.</p> |
Anmerkung | Because the children of a <choice> element all
represent alternative ways of encoding the same sequence, it is
natural to think of them as mutually exclusive. However, there may
be cases where a full representation of a text requires the
alternative encodings to be considered as parallel. Note also that <choice> elements may self-nest. For a specialized version of <choice> for encoding multiple
witnesses of a single work, see section 12.1 The Apparatus Entry, Readings, and Witnesses. |
