What is markup? (My working definition/description)

Markup is what is done so that a part of a document (a text, an image, a sound file etc.) can be identified, pointed at, and some information or data can be linked with the selected data. Text and markup are not clearly separate animals. Word separators are just as much markup as they are text.

Classical (or Hellenistic) markup

  • Zendodotus and Aristarchos (3rd/2nd centuries BCE) used

special symbols as flags or tags in the texts of Homer. Separate books held comments on the marked text lines.

  • This standoff markup was brought closer to the text as scholia

in medieval MSS

  • Some of this information today appears both in apparatus

entries – and in modern editions of scholia

The reason behind the Ibsen encoding

Endringene er gjengitt så diplomatarisk som mulig, slik at tilføyelser er plassert der de er foretatt, for eksempel

  • ver linjen, og markert med innføyningstegn.

Strykninger er markert med gjennomstrekning, .... (The changes are reproduced in a diplomatic way as possible, placing additional material where the additions were done, for instance over the text line and marking the additions with special symbols. Text deleted is marked with overstrike, ...)

  • but of course: there are overlapping hierarchies

Inline or standoff?

Back to the Ibsen letter:

<HIS:hisRef type="tcNote" xml:id="noteT15_878" target="B1890- 1905ht_noter.xml" corresp="noteT15_878">billede</HIS:hisRef> in the letter, and <note resp="editor" xml:id="noteT15_878"><HIS:hisRef type="tcNote" target="B1890-1905ht.xml" corresp="noteT15_878">billede</HIS:hisRef>] <hi rend="italic">HIS,</hi> billde</note> in the note file.

in the letter,

Standoff encoding?

  • Plus:

–

Makes overlapping hierarchies easier (which in itself opens up for many possibilities)

  • Minus:

–

Not many off-the-shelf tools available

–

No standard for data interchange

  • Possible solution:

–

Standoff use inside the project – or a combination of inline and standoff encoding

–

Project the data into a suitable hierarchy for XML (TEI) export

What are text and markup really?

  • There is not one single formal model for either text or markup.

Belief in a single model tries to make the Humanities into natural science.

  • The humanities can use models of text and markup for certain

uses, for certain purposes.

  • The choice of markup type (inline, standoff or a mixture) is a

matter of convenience
