TEI P4 Beta: Reference Documentation

`<note>` | contains a note or annotation.
Attributes: |
`n` | (number or symbol) indicates the symbol or number used to mark the note's point of attachment to the main text.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string of characters
| Default: #IMPLIED
| Example:
    Mevorakh b. Saadya's mother, the matriarch of the family
    during the second half of the eleventh century,
       <note n=126>
            The alleged mention of Judah Nagid's mother
            in a letter from 1071 is, in fact, a
            reference to Judah's children; cf. above,
            nn. 111 and 54.
       </note>
    is well known from Geniza documents published by Jacob Mann.
Note | If notes are numbered in sequence and their numbering can be reconstructed automatically by processing software, it may not be considered necessary to record the note numbers.
`type` | describes the type of note.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Values can be taken from any convenient typology of annotation suitable to the work in hand; e.g. annotation, gloss, citation, digression, preliminary, temporary, ...
| Default: #IMPLIED
`resp` | (responsible) indicates who is responsible for the annotation: author, editor, translator, etc.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Legal values: |
`auth[or]` | note originated with the author of the text.
`ed[itor]` | note added by the editor of the text.
`comp[iler]` | note added by the compiler of a collection.
`tr[anslator]` | note added by the translator of a text.
`transcr[iber]` | note added by the transcriber of a text into electronic form.
`(initials)` | note added by the individual indicated by the initials.
| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | For specialized types of editorial annotation (e.g. for marking corrections, normalizations, cruxes, etc.), see chapter 19 .
`place` | indicates where the note appears in the source text.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Legal values: |
`foot` | note appears at foot of page.
`end` | note appears at end of chapter or volume.
`inline` | note appears as a marked paragraph in the body of the text.
`left` | note appears in left margin.
`right` | note appears in right margin.
`interlinear` | note appears between lines of the text.
`app[aratus]` | note appears in the apparatus at the foot of the page.
| Default: 'unspecified'
| Example:
Note | For pages with multiple apparatus, values such as app1 and app2 can be used. The `place` attribute can be used to indicate to text formatting software where a note should be printed. If the locations indicated do not agree with those in the copy text, that fact should be indicated in the TEI header.
`anchored` | indicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
| Datatype: (yes | no)
| Legal values: |
`yes` | copy text indicates the place of attachment for the note.
`no` | copy text indicates no place of attachment for the note.
| Default: yes
Note | In modern texts, notes are usually anchored by means of explicit footnote or endnote symbols. An explicit indication of the phrase or line annotated may however be used instead (e.g. ``page 218, lines 3-4''). The `anchored` attribute indicates whether any explicit location is given, whether by symbol or by prose cross-reference. If the specific symbols used are to be recorded, use the `n` attribute.
`target` | indicates the point of attachment of a note, or the beginning of the span to which the note is attached.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: reference to the `id` s of element(s) which begin at the location in question (e.g. the `id` of an `<anchor>` element).
| Default: #IMPLIED
| Example:
Note | If `target` and `targetEnd` are to be used to indicate where notes attach to the text, then elements at the appropriate locations (`<anchor>` elements if necessary) must be given `id` values to be pointed at.
`targetEnd` | points to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: reference to the `id` (s) of element(s) which end at the location(s) in question, or to an empty element at the point in question.
| Default: #IMPLIED
| Example:

Example

    And yet it is not only in the great line of Italian
    renaissance art, but even in the painterly
        <note resp=Tr><term lang=DE>Malerisch</term>.  This
        word has, in the German, two distinct meanings, one
        objective, a quality residing in the object, the
        other subjective, a mode of apprehension and creation.
        To avoid confusion, they have been distinguished in
        English as <mentioned>picturesque</> and
        <mentioned>painterly</> respectively.  (Tr.)</note>
    style of the Dutch genre painters of the seventeenth
    century that drapery has this psychological significance.
