During my learning process, I came across an interesting comparison of Shakespeare marked up using TEI and an "ad hoc" markup used by Jon Bosak (a key inventor of XML). Though the comparison was done by a TEI advocate, I think Jon's is a much better model for our purpose.
http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Sample_Manuals/mueller-main.htm A very gentle introduction to the TEI (the comparison is near the end -- look for the garish background colors)
I'd disagree. The bibliographic information in Jon's is insufficent; it doesn't even give us an author, much less the rest of the information we need to have computer readable. Once we've dumped the <hi rend="i"> lines in the TEI, the main difference is the line numbers (which are optional in TEI and necessary for some books) and the capacity to do split metric lines, which is again necessary for some books. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
