Linking of Discontinuous Verse Parts

For lack of space, verses can be continued in the line of the preceding or following verse. To illustrate this, the attributes @prev, @next and @xml:id are used. To the using of these attributes, see chap. Interruptions of Related Text Components.

Continuation of a verse in the line of the following verse:

<l xml:id="[ID verse 1]" next="#[ID end verse 1]">[beginning verse 1]</l>
<lb/>
<l>[verse 2]</l>
<l xml:id="[ID end verse 1]" prev="#[ID verse 1]">[end verse 1]</l>
<lb/>

Continuation of a verse in the line of the preceding verse:

<l>[verse 1]</l>
<l xml:id="[ID end verse 2]" prev="#[ID verse 2]">[end verse 2]</l>
<lb/>
<l xml:id="[ID verse 2]" next="#[ID end verse 2]">[verse 2]</l>
<lb/>
Note: The attributes @prev and @next are therefore semantic, not linear, i. e. @next can be placed before the corresponding @prev if this corresponds to the circumstances of the original.
