expan (expansion) contains the full expansion of an abbreviation.
ex (editorial expansion) contains a sequence of letters added by an editor or transcriber when expanding an abbreviation.
supplied signifies text supplied by the transcriber or editor.
The characters that form the entire expansion of an abbreviation (including both the charaters that are present on the original support and those added by the editor) are marked up using expan.
In addition, the characters added by the editor (i.e. those characters that do not appear on the original support) are indicated with ex.
If the abbreviated text tacitly implies a supplementary word or words which are understood but omitted from the original support (e.g., tribu, filius, etc.), the abbreviation may be encoded in two different ways depending on the rendering desired. In the first, all omitted text is enclosed within ex. In the second, only the characters which form part of the word actually abbreviated are enclosed within ex, while the word(s) omitted but understood are enclosed within a supplied element, whose reason attribute should be given a value of "subaudible". See examples below.
Resolved and unresolved abbreviations are treated differently; see Abbreviation not expanded at all for an explanation of how to mark up abbreviations for which the expansion is unknown.
