Guidelines for Encoding Typographical Features
In the originals, the semantic structure of a passage is usually illustrated by typographical highlights. The annotation of the full text primarily follows semantic criteria, so that the respective semantic category is assigned to the transcribed text.
The typographical appearance of the original is also documented as precisely as possible, especially if the semantic structure of a passage is not immediately recognizable.
@rendition and @rend, which can be assigned to the following elements of the basic format:
<byline>, <cell>, <dateline>, <div>,
<figure>, <floatingText>, <formula>, <fw>, <head>, <hi>,
<l>, <lg>, <milestone>, <p>
<hi> element, which contains the @rendition attribute, is used to tag typographic features.The <hi> element is used especially for tagging typographical features on the character level.
Typographical markups can extend over a page break or a column break.
The attributes @rendition and @rend are mutually exclusive. The @rendition attribute contains a fixed list of possible values for tagging common typographical features (see below) and should therefore be preferred to the @rend attribute. Additional typographical features that cannot be displayed with the values listed below can be displayed in the @rend attribute. In @rend, natural language information is possible for the typographical realization of the respective tagged text passages.
The following values can be used for @rendition:
