An entire line completely lost (extent certain or uncertain)
Traditional typographic representation
- Panciera, p.18; Dohnicht, p.4:
- [ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] /
- not addressed
EpiDoc encoding
- gap reason="lost" extent="1" unit="line"/
- gap id="gap23" reason="lost" unit="line"/certainty target="gap23" locus="extent" degree="low"/
EpiDoc appearance with standard XSLT
-
-
Notes
- The first example indicates complete certainty that a single, entire line of text has been lost.
- The second example indicates complete certainty that some unknown number of entire lines of text have been lost.
- For indications of uncertainty about whether lines of text have been lost or not, see Possibility that letters have been completely lost.
- NB: values of extent greater than 1, when combined with unit="line" are unsupported by the standard xslts; therefore, each separate lost line should be encoded as a separate gap, with appropriate line breaks (vel sim.) separating them.
