Half titles captured as HEADs

Keywords: HEAD, half title

The book is a commentary on three non-sequential psalms. I've used the div type "psalm" N="32" etc, as that might be more helpful for navigation. For the subordinate divs I used "verse" and the N attribute and have given one the value 8 where there is a misprint in the text of IIII for VIII, as that is probably more helpful.

PFS: good. I'm not sure, however, that maintaining an extra level of DIVs is worthwhile just for the sake of the 'half titles' that could as readily be captured as (big, fat, whole-page) HEADs. E.g., this

<BODY><DIV1 TYPE="part">
<DIV2 TYPE="psalm" N="6">
<PB N="1" REF="6">
<HEAD>DAVIDS TEARES.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">PSALME VI.</HEAD>

could be simplified to this:

<BODY>
<HEAD><PB N="1" REF="6">DAVIDS TEARES.</HEAD>
<DIV1 TYPE="psalm" N="6">
<HEAD>PSALME VI.</HEAD>

and this:

<DIV1 TYPE="part">
<DIV2 TYPE="half title">
<PB REF="42">
<PB N="73" REF="42">
<P>PSALME XXXII.</P>
</DIV2>
<DIV2 TYPE="psalm" N="32">
<PB REF="43">
<PB N="75" REF="43" MS="Y">
<HEAD>DAVIDS TEARES.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">PSALME XXXII.</HEAD>

to this:

<DIV1 TYPE="psalm" N="32">
<PB REF="42">
<PB N="73" REF="42">
<HEAD>PSALME XXXII.</HEAD>
<PB REF="43">
<PB N="75" REF="43" MS="Y">
<HEAD>DAVIDS TEARES.</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">PSALME XXXII.</HEAD>

"The text" appearing before an EPIGRAPH

Keywords: HEAD, EPIGRAPH, Q

The sub headings of the sermons ("The Text") only really apply to the epigraphs. Using Q TEXT BODY seemed too much. Could <HEAD> be allowed within <EPIGRAPH>?

PFS: I think that there are a couple of things that could be done here, even without adding HEAD to EPIGRAPH, e.g.:

<DIV1 TYPE="sermon">
<HEAD>A SERMON Preached on EASTER Day,</HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">The Text. <BIBL>S. MATTH. 28.6.</BIBL>
<Q>Come, see the place where the Lord lay&punc;</Q></HEAD>

ARGUMENT in HEAD

Source: email
Date: 9 Apr 2002
Keywords: ARGUMENT, HEAD, LG

Headings in verse can often legitimately be tagged instead as ARGUMENT, e.g.:

<DIV1 TYPE="poem"> <ARGUMENT> <L>A caueat conuenient for younkers to see:</L> <L>How fickle Dame Fancie, doth chaung her degree</L></ARGUMENT>

<DIV1 TYPE="poem"> <ARGUMENT><L>When as occasion moueth,</L> <L>To answere it behoueth.</L></ARGUMENT>

If for some reason this will not do, you may have to ignore the verse character of the material, call it HEAD, and place an LB tag at the line break(s); alternatively, ignore its head-like character and make it an LG at the beginning of the poem.
