Here you will find the most commonly used elements for our digital editions. Note that you can combine elements, as long as they do not overlap. They have to be nested like so:

<element a>
    <element b>
        <element c>etc</element c>
    </element b>
</element a>

Unless otherwise specified, all elements have to be used within the regular text (i.e. within the structural elements listed below).

2. Structural elements

Page break (with facsimile)

<pb/>

To this element you can add the attribute facs to pair an image with the page you just created. Use the following template with some additional attributes to do this:

<pb n="Ms. title" f="x" xml:id="pb-orig-x" facs="link"/>
  • n is the name of the manuscript (f.e. n=“Paris, BNF, 1008, f. 123r”).
  • f is the folio numer (f.e. f=“123r”)
  • xml:id gives the image a unique identifier to refer back to (f.e. xml:id=“pb-orig-1”)
  • link corresponds with the hyperlinks you will find in the document ‘Image links’ on ILIAS (f.e. facs="https://picsum.photos/id/237/2000/3000").
