• XML uses a DTD (Document Type Definition) to describe the data.

Some tags XML we choose for our edition:

- speakers (character name rubrics)

- proper names (for the index of proper names)

- didascalia (left, right, center)

- revisions (done by another hand on the M manuscript)

- notes (for the critical apparatus)
