Notes in the TEI header

Encoding Instructions (old P4 version)

The WWP uses the notesStmt in the TEI header as a place to record permanent notes on the text, describing anomalous or distinctive features such as misbinding, missing text, transcription challenges, and the like. We also use the notesStmt to record temporary notes on features that require special attention, or problems which require further thought.

Notes in the notesStmt do not carry a rend attribute. The value of anchored should be “no”. The value of resp should be the key of the encoder creating the note. Notes in the notesStmt should also have a type attribute with a value of “WWP” (for permanent notes commenting on some aspect of the text that requires documentation) or “temp” (for temporary notes which will be deleted as soon as they have been attended to). Where applicable, these notes may point to the element or location in the text which they refer to.
