met |
contains a user-specified encoding for the conventional
metrical structure of the element. |
|
Datatype: CDATA |
|
Values: May contain either a standard term for the kind of metrical
unit (e.g. ‘hexameter’) or an encoded representation for the
metrical pattern (e.g. ‘+--+-+-+-+-’). In either case, the
notation used should be documented by a <metNotation> element
within the <encodingDesc> of the associated header. |
|
Default: %INHERITED; |
Note |
Where this attribute is not specified, the metrical
pattern for the element concerned is understood to be inherited
from its parent.
|
real |
contains a user-specified encoding for the actual realization
of the conventional metrical structure applicable to the element. |
|
Datatype: CDATA |
|
Values: May contain either a standard term for the kind of metrical
unit (e.g. ‘hexameter’) or an encoded representation for the
metrical pattern (e.g. ‘+--+-+-+-+-’). In either case, the
notation used should be documented by a <metNotation> element
within the <encodingDesc> of the associated header. |
|
Default: #IMPLIED |
Note |
Where this attribute is not specified, the metrical
realization for the element concerned is understood to be identical
to that specified or implied for the met attribute.
|
rhyme |
specifies the rhyme scheme applicable to a group of verse lines. |
|
Datatype: CDATA |
|
Values: By default, the
rhyme scheme is expressed as a string of alphabetic
characters each corresponding with a rhyming line. Any non-rhyming
lines should be represented by a hyphen or an X. Alternative notations
may be defined as for met by use of the <metNotation>
element in the TEI header. |
|
Default: #IMPLIED |
|
Example: <lg rhyme='ABABABCC'> <!-- ... --> </lg>
|
Note |
When the default notation is used, it does not make sense to
specify this attribute on any unit smaller than a line. Nor does the
default notation provide any way to record internal rhyme, or to specify
non-conventional rhyming practice. These extensions would require
user-defined alternative notations.
