#192 metDecl

[Eleonora Santin]

Hi all,

I noticed that the <metdecl> element is not included in the Epidoc Schema:</metdecl>

<moduleref key="verse" except="caesura metDecl metSym rhyme"></moduleref>

However, the Guidelines suggest using it. See:

"In either case, the notation used should be documented by a <metdecl> element within the encodingDesc of the associated header."</metdecl>

Could you clarify whether this is a bug or an intentional omission?

Best regards,

Eleonora Santin

Agree this is a bug. I have reinstated <metDecl> in the dev version of the schema (should appear at https://epidoc.stoa.org/schema/dev/tei-epidoc.rng today). Will appear in the release version of the schema at next release (due to be announced approx January 2025).
