Typographic markup

Capture typographic features in cases where occasional words or phrases are in bold or italic.

Do not capture typographic markup used solely to incidate the style of content (i.e. do not use italic to cover the style of all div2 headings; do not use bold to cover the style of all nameGrps in a contributors list; etc). Only capture typographic markup when used to indicate emphasis on occasional words or phrases, or particular elements where the rest are styled differently.

Words or phrases marked up for emphasis within the manuscript must always be maintained - including if the word or phrase is emphasized within a block of content that may be typecoded. Where full blocks of content in the manuscript are captured in a typecode, the style for that block of content for print and online should come from stylesheet associated with that content and not from typographic markup.

Style	Element
Bold	b
Italic	i
Bold italic	bi
Small caps	sc
All caps	allCaps (OxChapML only)
Superscript	sup
Subscript	sub
Overline	overline
Underline	underline
Double underline	underline double="Y"
Strikethrough	strikeThrough
Roman	roman
Sans serif	sans (OxChapML only)
Monospace	monospace
Fixed case	fc (OxChapML only)
Smaller	span class="smaller"
Larger	span class="larger"
Spaced out	span class="letter-spaced"
Gothic script	span class="blackletter"
Centred, right-aligned text	alignment attribute

Only use the roman (roman) element, fixed case (fc) element, and alignment attribute to override default styling when specifically instructed. For example, do not use the alignment attribute to align chapter headings when all chapter headings share the same alignment.

If a word or group of words has small-caps styling, capture that entire word or group of words using the sc element. This element should never occur within a word; instead capture the whole word or phrase, including upper-case letters and numerals, within the element.

Example:


      <sc>Aechylus</sc>
