Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Parallel text

Facing pages are sometimes used to present two related texts, for example a translation opposite its original language version. In such cases, each passage runs over only the verso or recto pages.

//floatGroup/parallelTextGroup
            

Capture each passage within a parallelText element and capture all parallel text elements within a single parallelTextGroup.

Each passage runs over only the verso or recto pages

To capture page breaks within parallel text groups, capture each page in a parallelText group as a segment and indicate the start of each segment using a processing instruction in the form <?segment id="segmentNN"?> where NN is a sequential number.

Example using processing instructions for segments


<parallelTextGroup id="oso-9780198269953-chapter-1-parallelTextGroup-1">
<parallelText id="oso-9780198269953-chapter-1-parallelText-1" doi="10.1093/oso/9780198269953.003.0001.009.0001"><textMatter>
<div1>
<p>
<?segment id="segment01"?> ... translation text from page 11
<?segment id="segment02"?> ... translation text from page 13 </p>
