Re: [gutvol-d] Final PGTEI... blockquote

I think I'd prefer the rend="block" over "display" just because it is a little more intuitive. Thanks for tracking that down Scott. I also found how to handle sidenotes since I wrote that original message. <note place="margin"> It is actually used in Marcello's PGTEI guide (though not talked about specifically... it is used to provide some info on another topic). If anyone is wondering, I am keeping track of all this markup. I gonna see about putting together a webpage with the ongoing notes.

Blockquotes:
I wanted to markup a blockquote example, but I didn't see how. Anyone out there know how to handle a blockquote with a text?
Perhaps: <div rend="display"> <q rend="display">
(not very intuitive, eh?)
It's mentioned briefly in Marcello's docs, once you know what to look for ("wider margins").
Also, search for these in Marcello's alice.tei and lmiss.tei examples. The "q" one will add quote marks, unless supressed via the appropriate attribute.
I couldn't find it in the TEI Lite docs (though I assume it's there somewhere). I did find it in Section 4.3 of "Bare Bones TEI" http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/Bare/ -- which also suggests that rend="block" is equivalent. (I didn't find independent confirmation.) --

"display" is different from "block". A display is a chunk of text set off (displayed) from the rest usually by enlarging the left and right margins and inserting some top and bottom margins. A block is just a plain old block with nothing special to distinguish it from any block fore or aft. The HTML tag <blockquote> is just a bit misnamed.

This works only in HTML for now. Ideas on how to display it in TXT without wasting a lot of space? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
