----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Collins <brad@chenla.org> <snipped explanation of using <seg> vs using <note> > OK, the gist I got was that you want to be able to tie the information from the margins to specific sections (a beginning and ending point) rather than tie to a single spot and assume it applies to some indeterminate length ahead. I can see where <seg> allows that. Is that much fidelity in the original? For instance, the <seg> marks you applied ... is there something in the original that says this segment stops *right here*? I ask because while the beginning of the <seg> seems clear, in the text I'm picturing in my head, the end of the segment would be kinda of fuzzy. (Unless the text used a marker or line break or something at the same spot you are using <seg> breaks.) If it is fuzzy, it seems the <note place="margin"> markup provides the same "here forward to some point" fidelity in information. (I think if I had a scan of the original, I'd probably more fully understand what you were trying to do.) Josh
