Publication Printing Conventions
Section Types
Each section (as defined in the Publication) must be classified as one of the following:
- TEXT
- This becomes the text body of the Edition, which is the content of the serialized decision annotations resulting from the collation process.
- Sections with only one witness or material are rendered as transcribed, so may be text blocks like introductions, example transcriptions, inline commentary notes, or other injected editorial content.
- ENDNOTE
- Annotations contained within this section are revealed through an apparatus which follows the body text.
- These sections may be placed in any order and are not necessarily singular and at the end of the Edition.
- Annotations may be filtered by type or tag, so that different sections may be stacked for different purposes (for example, variants and sources)
- References to annotations in the TEXT sections will be indicated by a numeric sequencer with an optional prefix or suffix string.
- Sorting only by occurrence.
- Generic notes are simply a numeric reference and the content of the annotation.
- INDEX
- Annotations presented in a list, without reference to the text, sorted alphanumerically or by occurrence in the outlines included.
- TABLE_OF_CONTENTS
- A list of labels of all the sections, in order, linked as appropriate
- COLLATION_TABLE
- A simple visualization of collation decisions, with notes
- Horizontal headers are the sigla of all included witnesses
- Vertical rows are the motes where there is either annotation or disagreement
- Cells contain a character of agreement(✓), a character of omission(-), or the variant text

Customizations
Different types of sections will allow specific configurations. All sections have source outlines, an index, and a label.
- TEXT
- style and layout applied based on annotations type or tag
- ENDNOTE
- Filter to hide/show based on annotations type or tag
- Special treatment for variants (
tr-decision type annotations)
- '#. anno.content] commentingAnno.content action. mote.content mote.sigla, action. mote.content mote.sigla
- Like: 34. motus] add. motus et B
- commentingAnno.content is only exactly as entered
- Actions are add., om., inv. or omitted
- Multiple motesets are comma-delimited "action. content sigla" units
- Add a prefix or suffix to the default numeric sequential reference
- INDEX
- Filter to hide/show based on annotations type or tag
- Sort alphanumerically or by occurrence
- TABLE_OF_CONTENTS
But on the Website
These sections will render differently than the restrictions of print allow.
- TEXT is the body text and will be central to the Edition display
- ENDNOTE will render as marginal apparatus and appear whenever the section being viewed contains references contained within them
- INDEX are references that are hidden until requested, but become available as popover views
- TABLE_OF_CONTENTS non-optional navigation always available to move between sections
- Changing Base-text and finding specific annotations also always available (in our default template)
