Profile Description <profileDesc>
This
element contains information pertinent to the classification of the text
including the languages used, categories, and keywords.
Foreign languages that appear in the text are encoded in the
<langUsage> and <language> elements. The value of the 'id'
attribute in the <language> element must contain the appropriate ISO639
language code. (ISO639 is available online at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html).
For this project, North American Indian languages that cannot be specifically
located on the list provided are encoded with the recommended "nai".
<profileDesc>
<langUsage>
<language id="nai">North American
Indian</language>
<language id="eng">English</language>
</langUsage>
Values for classification categories (within <textClass> and
<classCode> elements) and keyword categories (within <keyword>,
<list>, and <item> elements) are always copied and pasted to avoid
spelling and capitalization errors. Complete documentation for these metaterms
appears in the document

<front> include:
This element contains the main body of the text for each work. The elements
explained below will usually appear within the body, but may, on occasion,
appear within the <teiHeader> or <front> tags. The following tags
appear in alphabetical order. The 'rend' attribute, among general encoding
procedures, is explained in the EADA Overview.
-
Address <address>
This element resides
within the <opener> tag and contains information pertaining to the
address of a letter including the date and place a letter was written. Each
line is captured in the <addrLine> element.
<p><address><addrLine>Boston,
Massachusetts</addrLine>
<addrLine><date>October 2,
1772</date></addrLine></address></p>
-
Address Line <addrLine>
This element
contains the distinct lines of address information including the date
<addrLine> and location indicated on a letter.
-
Argument <argument>
This element
contains any argument that appears at the beginning of a text, section, or
poem. The argument usually contains an abstract of the subsequent text and
appears outside of the <head>.
<div1><head>Doctrine</head><argument><p
n="10">That there is such a thing as a spiritual and divine light
immediately imparted to the soul by God, of a different nature from any that is
obtained by natural means. </p></argument> . . .

-
Byline <byline>
This element contains the
responsibility statement of the author, editor or translator as it appears at

particular <div#> or <lg>.
<byline>translated by Samuel
Beckett</byline>
-
Closer <closer>
This element groups together
the dateline, byline, salutation, and similar phrases appearing as a final
group at the end of a division, especially of a letter. Since the TEI dtd does
not accomodate postscripts, postscripts are to be moved to a paragraph before
the <closer> in a <p> tag with type="postscript". The postscript
will appear in the correct place in the final rendition of the document, but
for tagging purposes, must be tagged as described above.
This element is not used in letters that appear as blockquotes in
paragraphs.
<p n="72" type="postscript">And not
to forget Tom Forge I beseech you, tell him that my Love's the same towards him
still, and as firm as it was about the overgrown Tryal, when Judgements upon
judgements, had not I stept in, would have pursued him untill the day of
Judgement, &c. </p>
<closer><salute>Yours

appear at the top of sections or documents. This tag is also used at the
beginning or ending of letters, usually within <address> tags.
-
Distinct <distinct>

to signify a distinct term that needs marking. The 'type' attribute describes
how that term is unique and is picked from one of the following values:
type="vernacular"

-
Emphasis <emph>
This element contains text
that appears in a textual font (italics, bold, underlined, etc.) different than
the main text. If it is not obvious that the author intends emphasis, the
<hi> tags should be used instead. Font changes are noted in the 'rend'
attribute.
<p n="3">Upon this occasion, Christ says as he
does <emph rend="italic">to</emph> him,
and <emph rend="italic">of</emph> him in the
text: in which we may observe,</p>
-
Epigraph <epigraph>
This element contains
quotes or lines that appear at the beginning of a text, section, or poem. The
epigraph appears outside of the <head>. The 'rend' attribute should be
used with this tag if the entire epigraph is one font.
<body><div0><head
type="main">A DIVINE AND SUPERNATURAL
LIGHT</head><epigraph><head
type="sub">Immediately Imparted to the Soul by the Spirit of God,

-
Figure <figure>
This element contains
references to graphics that appear on the source. Any text is contained in a
<figDesc> tag. The value of the 'entity' attribute is also declared in
the header which then links to the outside image.
<figure entity="image1"><figDesc>Dr.
Cook.</figDesc></figure>
-
Figure Description <figureDesc>
This
element is used inside the <figure> element to encode any text associated
with a figure including captions.
-
Foreign <foreign>
This element contains any
string of text that is different from the main language of the text. If the
word or phrase is distinguished from the rest of the text by virtue of its
function (i.e., a title, head, epigraph, etc.) it is identified with the 'lang'
attribute of that element. As with the <foreign> element, 'lang' contains
the proper iso639-2 language code.(iso639-2 is available online at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html).
Please Note: Any language that is tagged as such in the text is also noted in the
<language> tag within <profileDesc> in the header.
<foreign
lang="nai">Inwewinan</foreign>.
This element also uses the 'rend' attribute when appropriate.
<p>Pensé yo que huía de mí
misma, pero ¡miserable de mí! trájeme a mí conmigo y
traje mi mayor enemigo en esta inclinación, y se verificaba en mí
el <foreign lang="lat" rend="italic">privatio est
causa appetitus</foreign>. </p>
back to the top
-
Head <head>
This element contains heading
content for a <div#>. No tags may appear before a <head> tag within
the respective <div#>. If text appears before the <head> on the
source, that information is tagged after the <head> in the digital text.
It is not usually necessary to use the 'rend' attribute with this element.
The 'type' attribute is used to designate if the head is "main" or
"sub".
<body><div0><head
type="main">A DIVINE AND SUPERNATURAL
LIGHT</head><head type="sub">Immediately Imparted to
the Soul by the Spirit of God, Shown to be Both Scriptural and Rational
Doctrine</head><div1> . . . .
-
Highlighted <hi>
This element contains text that
is bold, italicized, etc. for reasons that are not easily identifiable. This tag should only be used when all other tags are inappropriate (e.g., <title>, <foreign>, <head>, etc.) . The 'rend' attribute is
used to identify format.
Text that is obviously highlighted for emphasis is
captured in the <emph> tag.
<p n="13">There is an old Saying in
<hi rend="italic">England</hi>, <hi
rend="italic">He must rise betimes that would please every
one.</hi> </p>

-
Item <item>
This element contains each line of
a <list>. Titles appear in the <head> tags. Regardless of the
source, all lines are numbered with the appropriate sequential number appearing
as the value of the 'n' attribute. If the source is numbered, the number
represents the numbering in the source regardless of error.
-
Line <l>
This element contains each separate line
of poetry. Titles appear in <head> tags. Lines are numbered sequentially
within each line group <lg>. If the source is numbered, the number
represents the numbering in the source regardless of error.
-
Line Break </lb>
This empty element is used to
mark where line breaks occur in the text. This element is only used in those
situations in which the line break is not already delineated by another
structure tag. For example, since each line of poetry appears in a distinct
<l> tag, it is not necessary to mark the line breaks. The same principle
holds true for many structures such as the <head>, <closer>,
<item>, etc.
In the following example, there is no appropriate tag to differentiate "My
Lord" "Your Lordship most" and "Humble Servant", yet these three strings appear
on separate lines. Here the </lb> tag can retain the structure of the
original text.
<closer><salute>My Lord
<lb/>Your Lordship most <lb/>Humble
Servant,</salute><signed>George
Alsop</signed></closer>
-
Line Group <lg>
This element contains complete
stanzas of poetry. Each line is separated into line <l> tags. Each
<lg> is numbered sequentially if numbering does not already appear in the
source.
Titles that pertain to multiple stanzas or <lg>s appear in <head> tags oustide the
<lg>. Headings that pertain to each individual stanza or <lg> appear within that <lg>.
<div0>
<head><title>By night when
others soundly slept</title></head>
<lg n="1">
<l n="1">By night when others soundly slept</l>
<l n="2">And hath at once both ease and Rest,</l>
<l n="3">My waking eyes were open kept</l>
<l n="4">And so to lie I found it best.</l>
<l n="5">I sought him whom my Soul did Love,</l>
. . . </lg>
<lg n="2"> . . .
-
List <list>
This element contains lists. Each
line is separated into line <l> tags. Titles appear in <head>
tags.
<list>
<head>An account of the distances
of places. From Westover to Col. Mumford's, 16 miles. </head>
<item n="1">From Col. Mumford's to major Mumford's, 6
</item>
<item n="2">From thence to Sapponi chapel, 20
</item>
<item n="3">From thence to major Embry's on
Nottoway, 10 </item>
<item n="4">From thence to
Brunswick court-house, 15 </item>
<item n="5">From
thence to Meherrin river, 8 </item>
</list>

-
Note <note>
This element contains notes
written by the author and the electronic editor. Notes written by the editor of
the original source only appear in the digital text if the note refers to
textual differences between editions. Notes appear where they are referenced in
the text (that is where the asterisk or number appears).
A <note> is assumed to be the product of the author. If for some
rare reason and editorial note is retained in the text, the 'resp' attribute is
used: resp="editor".
. . . ornament due to their Heroes. <note
resp="editor"> Smith thus describes them: <q>"Sixty

-
Opener <opener>
This element contains the
opening to a letter which may include the <salute> and <address>.
This element is not used in letters that appear in blockquotes within
paragraphs.
<opener>
<address><addrLine><date>November 1,
1737</date></addrLine></address>
<salute>To
my Friend Mr. George Alsop, on his Character of Maryland,</salute>
</opener>
back to the top
-
Paragraph <p>
This element contains the body of a
paragraph. The <p> tag always contains a sequentially-numbered 'n'
attribute. If the source is numbered, this value is always according to the
source, regardless of source errors.
<p n="1">This is the first paragraph . . .
</p>
<p n="2">This is the second paragraph . .
. </p>
The 'type' attribute is used to identify a postscript in a letter. If a
postscript appears, that postscript is encoded before the <closer>. See
<closer> for an example.
- Quote-Block <q>
This element contains the body of
a blockquote that is separated from the main body of a text. This element is
also used for letters if they appear within a paragraph structure. The 'rend'
attribute should be used to indicate font.
<p> . . . Smith thus describes them:
<q>"Sixty of those Sasquesahanocks came to vs with skins, Bowes,
Arrows, Targets, Beads, swords and Tobacco pipes for presents. . .
</q></p>
back to the top
-
Referent String <rs>
This element contains
referent strings that could be part of a keyword search but require
regularization. The 'type' attribute is not used in this element. Type is
indicated in the <distinct> element. The 'reg' attribute contains the
associated keyword.
For example, <rs
reg="tobacco">Sot-Weed</rs> where the term "Sot-Weed" is
contained in the Keyword Authority File as an alternate term for "tobacco."
-
Salute <salute>
This element appears within
the <opener> and <closer> elements and contains closing and opening
salutations in a letter such as "Dear" and "your humble servant".
- Speech <sp>
This element contains all parts
(speaker <speaker> and stage directions <stage>) that pertain to a
certain speech act (usually the portion of dialog that can be attributed to one
character) in a dramatic text.

- Speaker <speaker>
This elment is used inside
the speech <sp> tag to indicate the character who is speaking.
