#858: corr tags instead of sup tags for et[c.]

opened by TillmannTaape

11 instances of supplied "c" after ampersand (to signifcy "etc.") using sup tags – should we change to corr tags?

Just checked again. TCN: 13 instances of &amp;<sup>c TL: 1 instance

PROBLEM 1 Should these be &amp;<sup>c</sup> or &amp;<corr>c</corr>? These additions of the letter "c" are editorial decisions to transform (correct?) an ampersand into an etcetera. It seems our intervention is more than simply supplying a "c" to help clarify meaning, no?? PROBLEM 2 Should there be a period along with the "c" inside the sup/corr tags? Most instances do not include a period; those that do sometimes show the period inside, sometimes outside the tags. PROBLEM 3 Should this sup/corr of ampersands not be brought over to the TL? Right now, 1/13 of those instances are indicated.

@ps2270, do you have any thoughts about this?
