Traditional typographic representation

EpiDoc Encoding

  1. <gap reason="lost" extent="3" unit="character" />
  2. <gap reason="lost" extent="10" unit="character" />
  3. <gap reason="lost" extent="10" unit="character" precision="circa" />
  4. <gap reason="lost" extent="4.2" unit="cm" />
  5. <gap reason="lost" extent="2" unit="character" precision="circa" />
  6. <gap extent="22" reason="lost" unit="character" extentmax="28" />
  7. <name type="praenomen"><gap extent="1" reason="lost" unit="character" extentmax="3" /></name>

EpiDoc appearance with standard XSLT

  1. [ · · · ]
  2. [ · 10 · ]
  3. [ · 10 · ]
  4. [ - 4.2cm - ]
  5. [ · · ]
  6. [ · 22-28 · ]
  7. [ - 1-3 - ]
2007-04-11: updated usage to include the precision attribute. XSLT needs to be updated to support this.

Notes

  1. The first example indicates the certain loss of exactly 3 characters.
  2. The second example indicates the certain loss of exactly 10 characters.
  3. The third example indicates the certain loss of approximately 10 characters, using the new precision attribute with a value of "circa".
  4. The fourth example indicates the certain loss of 4.2cm of text.
  5. The fifth example indicates the certain loss of approximately 2 characters (where exactly 2 characters would give [ · · ] vel sim.).
  6. The sixth example indicates the certain loss of between 22 and 28 characters. If the extentmax attribute is used (for the maximum value of the extent range), then the extent is taken to indicate the minimum value of this range.
  7. The seventh example indicates the certain loss of between 1 and 3 characters (constituting a praenomen).
  8. If a unit of measurement other than "character" or "line" is used for the "unit" attribute on <gap>, then no <certainty locus="extent" degree="low"> element should be associated with the <gap>. GB: Why not? are we not confusing certainty with precision again? And even then, could we not have c. 4.2 cm lost?
