Annotation and indexing
A digital edition in TEI provides the ability to encode each peculiarity within the text (source) in detail in the TEI file. It is, however, possible to – for example to achieve a faster result – deal with phenomena the traditional way by discussing them in an annotation, using the <note> element.
An empty <anchor/> element must be placed within the transcription, the element containing a @n attribute with a short keyword and a @type=”note”. Nest another <note> element with @n attribute in the <div type="notes" n="keyword" xml:lang="language"> element containing the text of the annotation. The @n must have the same value in both elements. All annotations within the same language must be incorporated within the same <div> element, and the notes should be arranged based on their location in the text. For example:
<p>This is an exemple<anchor n=“nootje” type= “note”/> of how to create a note</p> <div type=“notes” xml:lang=“en”> <note n=“nootje”>This is the note</note> … other notes in English… </div> <div type=“notes” xml:lang=“nl”> <note n=“nootje”>Dit is de noot</note> … other notes in Dutch … </div>
