Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

• at the start of a scene, before the first line of dialogue (put stageDirection element before the first speech element)
• at the end of a line of dialogue (put stageDirection element after the line element)
• on a separate line following a line of dialogue (put stageDirection element after the line element)
• after a speaker's name (put stageDirection element after the speaker element but before the line element
• within a line of dialogue (put stageDirection element inside the line element)

If there is a section of text at the start of the scene which describes the setting, capture as a stageDirection role="setting" element.

If the setting is part of the title, capture the stageDirection element outside the title element at the start of the scene.

If capturing content with line numbers, stage directions that occur on separate lines must include milestone elements with the relevant line number.
