included. Corrections are marked sup resp="corrector".
Quotation
Quotations are rendered q, including for reported speech, except where overlapping hierarchies with the sup element have precluded this.
Hyphenation
Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.
Segmentation
div0=the whole text; div1 represents each book of the Thebaid. Line numbering follos the lineation of the printed text. Metrical quatrains are marked and numbered; individual lines of verse are marked. Metrical texts are treated as embedded texts.
