Overview of the Elements in the Text Area
The following table provides an overview of all elements that the DTA basic format provides for the <text> area. Each element is assigned the attributes and (if invariable) values that are possible according to the DTA basic format. Each element is assigned a level that specifies its usage status in the DTA core corpus. Functional categories are also assigned to the elements, which provide information on their usage contexts. The attributes of the DTA basic format that can be used in most of the DTA elements (universal attributes) are documented in the legend for the overviews. There you will also find a more detailed documentation of the levels and functional categories.
