#120: Delete and correct tags

• correction tags in TC - there are 69 that are correction expanded, which is ok, but the rest-ca 30-40- are problematic
• how are editorial corrections treated in TL? We do not have a clear policy on this.
  • ML and CC: carried corrections into TL, as best they could.
• in TL the editors are not consistently correcting the a-p, e.g., repeated words have sometimes just been left in the English, but sometimes they have been corrected. What is our policy on this? Just leave them in the TL. <corr> tags should only be carried over into TL if they entail a change in meaning; inconsequential spelling mistakes in the French should not be flagged using <corr>in the TL
  • e.g., when a-p added a word but forgot to delete the one it was replacing, so what to do in this case? Affects meaning, therefore carry over.
  • <corr>tags should only be carried over into TL if they entail a change in meaning; inconsequential spelling mistakes in the French should not be flagged using <corr> in the TL
  • Campaign 1: look for corr tags in TC to make sure only abbreviation expansions are corr tagged
  • Campaign 2: look for corr tags in TCN and decide which ones need to be carried over to TL; and check that any editorial deletions are within the corr tag in TCN and TL
  • Two campaigns need to be in tandem or back to back
• More generally, there is inconsistency in the ways that the deletion tag has been used--the tags are only used as editorial tags!, so correction tag must always be around the del tag in tl. TL should follow tcn in this place.
  • check consistency of this!!
• A-p has gone back to correct something, that produces a deletion, followed by an addition, usually interlinear
  • marked up as <del> followed by <addition>
• When a-p is overwriting something, when he starts writing, then realizes that he needs to start again with a new initial letter, and Marc has marked up as a deleted initial in tc and tcn and tl.

the issues outlined above are now dealt with, except for one, which is now isolated in #1157

Closing.
