Example | This example shows typographical line breaks within metrical lines, where they occur at different places in different editions: <l>Of Mans First Disobedience,<lb ed="1674"/> and<lb ed="1667"/> the Fruit</l> <l>Of that Forbidden Tree, whose<lb ed="1667 1674"/> mortal tast</l> <l>Brought Death into the World,<lb ed="1667"/> and all<lb ed="1674"/> our woe,</l> |
Example | This example encodes typographical line breaks as a means of preserving the visual appearance of a title page. The break attribute is used to show that the line break does not (as elsewhere) mark the start of a new word. <titlePart rend="italic"> <lb/>L'auteur susdict supplie les Lecteurs <lb/>benevoles, soy reserver à rire au soi-<lb break="no"/>xante & dixhuytiesme livre. </titlePart> |
Note | By convention, lb elements should appear at the point in the text where a new line
starts. The n attribute, if used, indicates the number or other value associated
with the text between this point and the next lb element, typically the sequence
number of the line within the page, or other appropriate unit. This element is intended to be
used for marking actual line breaks on a manuscript or printed page, at the point where they
occur; it should not be used to tag structural units such as lines of verse (for which the
l element is available) except in circumstances where structural units cannot
otherwise be marked. The type attribute may be used to characterize the
line break in any respect. The more specialized attributes
break and ed should be preferred when the
intent is to indicate whether or not the line
break is word-breaking, or to note the source from which it
derives. |
