Attributes: |
`subtype` | provides a sub-categorization of the segment is marked.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string of characters.
| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | The `subtype` attribute may be used to provide any classification for the `<seg>` elements tagged in a text suitable for the `type` given.
`part` | specifies whether or not the segment is complete.
| Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F)
| Legal values: |
`Y` | the segment is incomplete
`N` | either the segment is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness
`I` | the initial part of an incomplete segment
`M` | a medial part of an incomplete segment
`F` | the final part of an incomplete segment
| Default: N
Note | The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the segment is to be reconstituted.

Example

    <seg id=S1S3 type=preamble>

          <seg type=patronym>the son of Volsung</seg>,

Note

The `<seg>` element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any segments of the text of interest for processing. One use of the element is to mark text features for which no appropriate markup is otherwise defined --- i.e. as a simple extension mechanism. Another use is to provide an identifier for some segment which is to be pointed at by some other element --- i.e. to provide a target, or a part of a target, for a `<ptr>` or other similar element.
