The documents in the ePistolarium have the following basic structure:

<pre>
<text>
<body>
<div xml:id="div-1" type="artifact" subtype="letter">
...
</div>
<div xml:id="div-2" type="para">
...
</div>
<div xml:id="div-3" type="notes">
...
</div>
</body>
</text>
</pre>

However, a number of documents in the Pierre Bayle corpus contain both a text and its translation, encoded using the group element:

<pre>
<text type="composite">
<group>
<text type="original">
<body>
<div xml:id="div-1" xml:lang="la" type="artifact" subtype="letter">
...
</div>
</body>
</text>
<text type="translation">
<body>
<div xml:id="div-2" xml:lang="fr" type="artifact" subtype="letter">
...
</div>
</body>
</text>
</group>
</text>
</pre>

	Paragraphs are encoded with the <code>p</code> element. In the ePistolarium the <code>p</code> element only occurs in <code>div</code> elements. The elements are not allowed to be nested, that is, a <code>p</code> element in a <code>p</code> element is not allowed. Note that this is much stricter than allowed by the TEI Guidelines. The reason for the restriction is that some analysis methods used by the ePistolarium use the paragraph as unit of analysis.		Paragraphs are encoded with the <code>p</code> element.

		+	The <code>seg</code> element is used to encode text segments. In the ePistolarium they are used for various purposes: attaching language assignments to parts of a paragraph, encoding inline notes.

		+
		+	Note that in this example "Op mijn brief ..." is explicitly assigned language Dutch, whereas the text "‘Je vous supplie d'asseurer ..." is implicitly assigned French because of the presence of the <code>xml:lang="fr"</code> attribute of the <code>div</code> element.
