#217: Use of `<corr>` tags and action item

opened by ps2270

<corr> tags were used for in the following ways: In the TC and TCN 1. For expanded abbreviations in tc and tcn, we used <exp> element; E.g., subtillem<exp>ent</exp> In cases where M&K has corrected where the author has forgotten the abbreviation is indicated by <corr><exp>text</exp></corr> Be sure to use <exp> element within <corr> tags, both in tc and tcn : WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE RENDERING OF THESE INSTANCES

  1. In the TCN and TL ONLY -For editorial corrections in tcn (places where the M&K team member is correcting a mistake on the part of the original writer), use <corr>; E.g., Garrant in the ms becomes: Garan<corr>ce</corr> -For corresponding corrections in the English Translations, the <corr> tag encloses the entire word, even if it is only a part of the word that has been corrected. WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE RENDERING OF THESE INSTANCES

This second instance includes where <corr> is used with the <del> tag to show that the M&K team believes the a-p forgot to delete a word. In this last instance, THE RENDERING IS DIFFICULT, therefore the decision is hereby to have an editorial note that says something like "a-p likely forgot to delete this word". So, we'd need to change these <corr> tags to <comment> tags. There seem to be 53 instances of this in the tcn and fewer in the tl.
