Subject: Question about CD12 [2008-12-10]


Hello,

Thanks for your answer. Would you please see the attached "1210-berlin2.doc" and confirm our new questions of CD12?

Additional, now the processing of the CD12 is slow, we estimate we can finish and return this project on 2008-12-15. Is that acceptable for you?

Thank you,

<12010-berlin2.doc>


Best Regards and Have a Nice Day!
Sincerely Yours
Zhang Zhiyan

Dear Mr. Zhang,

The empty mail was sent in error. Here is the response to your question:

In general, the italics in <p> and <mgr> should be tagged separately:

<p it>_some words_] first line
<mgr>G</mgr>
second line</p>

However, the example is in fact an anchored comment, similar to the ones in the Special Instruction for the Conimbricensis text. We will incorporate rules for anchored comments in a future version of the Data Entry Specs. For now, please use this special instruction:

Special Instruction for Pappus (1660)

Anchored comments are marked by <ac> </ac>. They can be recognized by their structure "some words] some words" with a closing ] brace but no opening [ brace. In the Pappus text, the anchor looks like a marginal note consisting of only one character, e.g. "G". Each letter appears twice as marginal note, once in the main text (the main text is in upright shape) and once in the "Commentarius" (the Commentarius is mainly in italics). In the main text, type the anchor like this:

line of text
<n>G</n>
line of text

In the "Commentarius", type it inside the <ac> tag. Type the text after the anchor up to the ] between <ac> and </ac>.

<p it><ac G>_some words_]</ac> first line
second line</p>

Please note: This applies only to marginal notes that are in fact anchors of anchored comments. Type proper marginal notes, e.g. "9. quinti" on the page 0107 that you sent to us, still as marginal note:

<mgr>9. quinti</mgr>.

With continuing thanks for your careful work and warmest wishes to you all,
Malcolm Hyman
