Notes versus choice/sic/corr
The cleanup of notes resulting from input by site reviewers last year resulted in many <note>
s being reduced to a single word, which is often a simple correction for the word or phrase being annotated. Such cases are not actually <note>
s at all; they're better represented by <choice>
/<sic>
/<corr>
, in the same way as we already use <choice>
/<orig>
/<reg>
. Noticing this, we also noticed that the <mentioned>
tag has been rather misused in some cases, when either <quote>
, <soCalled>
or nothing at all would be more appropriate. I've also added a handler for <choice>
/<sic>
/<corr>
which is parallel with the existing one for <choice>
/<orig>
/<reg>
I've worked through the Sonnet 1609 text to change all such <note>
s to <choice>
/<sic>
/<corr>
; some should be <choice>
/<orig>
/<reg>
, but I can't determine that, so LSPW will make another pass through the file and fix those. This markup can then be used as a model where similar situations pertain in other files.
