Note
Degrees of uncertainty over what can still be read may be indicated by use of the certainty element (see 21 Certainty and Responsibility).
This element should be used for deletion of shorter sequences of text, typically single words or phrases. The delSpan element should be used for longer sequences of text, for those containing structural subdivisions, and for those containing overlapping additions and deletions.
The text deleted must be at least partially legible, in order for the encoder to be able to transcribe it. Illegible text within a deletion may be marked using the gap tag to signal that text is present but has not been transcribed. Attributes on the gap element may be used to indicate how much text is omitted, the reason for omitting it, etc. If text is not fully legible, the unclear element (available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources) should be used to signal the areas of text which cannot be read with confidence in a similar way. See further sections 11.3.7 Text Omitted from or Supplied in the Transcription and, for the close association of the del tag with the gap, damage, unclear and supplied elements (the latter three tags available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources), 11.5.2 Use of the <gap>, <del>, <damage>, <unclear>, and <supplied> Elements in Combination.
The del tag should not be used for deletions made by editors or encoders. In these cases, either the corr tag or the gap tag should be used.
