3.2 The manuscript descriptions DTD file


Up: 3 Building the TEI DTD for Manuscript Description Previous: 3.1 The manuscript descriptions entity file

The manuscript descriptions DTD file contains formal definitions for any standard TEI elements which have been changed, together with the formal definitions of the additional elements documented here.

The file begins with a redefinition of the standard TEI <sourceDesc> element, needed to make it possible for manuscript descriptions to be included within the TEI Header as well as within the body of a TEI document (the latter is achieved by virtue of making the <msDescription> element a member of the chunk). This is followed by the definitions given elsewhere in this document.
