#1898: punctuation mark outside of div tag in ms-xml

opened by gschare

In ms-xml/tl/tlp150rpreTEI.xml in the last entry (id="p150r_3", called "Molds"), there is an extra period after the closing div tag: <m>Very finely ground iron scales</m> render them very firm &amp; strong.</ab></div>. </root> I do NOT see the same thing in the tc and tcn versions. I'm not sure if this is an error, but it causes some issues with XML parsing over in manuscript-object because we don't expect to have content outside of divs. We can work around it if this intentional.

No other files in ms-xml/tl cause similar issues.

I would say it's definitely a mistake, but I'll let Terry weigh in.
