A test document: section 1

This document exercises various features of the TEI Lite dtd. Nothing in it is mandatory, but very little of it is mendacious.

This is a second paragraph, just to show that paragraphs are not all indented to the same extent.

Let's start with various phrase level elements.

This should be 1.1: editorial tags

You can use your imagination (or give up) when dealing with most of these... some suggestions are given as comments.

The corr element marks corrections; The reg element marks regularisations; The add element marks an additionand the del element marks deletion. The gap element marks something that's not there, while the unclear element marks something that's hard to read.

This should be 1.2: highlighting tags

The hi element is used for various forms of highlighting: e.g. bold, italic and small caps. You can do what you like when no rend value is supplied.

The emph element is used for linguistic emphasis. This should not be confused with cases of highlighting (soCalled) nor with shouting (mentioned), transmogrification, (a technical term), for which the gloss tag might be used to supply a technical definition).

should be 1.3: milestones and other empties

The mileStone element can appear anywhere at all.

The pb element can appear anywhere too, as can the lb element like that.

Now for some links! We will start by cross-referring to the next section.

Here is a simple ptr to it.

Here is a simple reference to it.

By the way, a divgen is legal anywhere, but should appear only where a div would be legal.

Should be section 2: assorted chunks

Various sorts of list are legal within paragraphs... first item in ordered list second item in ordered list third item in ordered list

This untyped list has a heading first item second item third item first item second item third item

The preceding pair of lists were between paragraphs.

This untyped list has a heading and a nested glosslist first item first item second item third item third item

There are also various sorts of note The placement of this one is unspecified

Although no values are currently defined for them, it would be useful to distinguish at least marginal notes, like these: both left left marginal noteright right marginal notefoot first foot note second foot note and end: first end note second end note.

And here's a little something I know you're going to enjoy: Mortality figures from Defoe St. Leonard's, Shoreditch 64 84 119 St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate 65 105 116 St. Giles's, Cripplegate 213 421 554

What is life without pictures?

Finally, some literary examples Opinion governs all mankind, Like the blind leading of the blind: And like the world, men's jobbernoles Turn round upon their ears the poles, And what they're confidently told By no sense else can be control'd.

And now for something dramatic...

Enter Boteswaine. Botes.

Downe with the top-Mast: ♯yare, lower, lower, bring her to Try with Maine-course. A plague — A cry within. Enter Sebastian, Anthonio & Gonzalo. vpon this howling: they are lowder then the weather, or our office: yet againe? What do you heere? Shal we giue ore and drowne, haue you a minde to sinke?

 Sebas.

Poxe o'your throat, you bawling, blasphe&rehy;mous incharitable Dog.

Botes.

Worke you then.

 Anth.

Hang cur, hang, you whoreson insolent Noyse-maker, we are lesse afraid to be drownde, then thou art.

 Gonz.

I'le warrant him for drowning, though the Ship were no stronger then a Nutt-shell, and as leaky as an vnstanched wench.

 Botes.

Lay her ♯a hold, ♯a hold, set her two courses off to Sea againe, lay her off.

 Enter Mariners wet. Mari.

All lost, to prayers, to prayers, all lost.

 Botes.

What must our mouths be cold?

 Gonz.

The King, and Prince, at prayers, let's assist them, for our case is as theirs.

 Sebas.

I'am out of patience.
