Use this Leiden+:

〚eight drachmas, = 8 drachmas,〛

---

To create this XML:

<del>eight drachmas, = 8 drachmas,</del>

---

Example PN Link:

Use this Leiden+:

<T=.en<D=.r <=text=>=D>=T>

---

To create this XML:

<div xml:lang="en" type="translation" xml:space="preserve"><div n="r" type="textpart"><p>text</p></div></div>

---

Example PN Link:

---

Take care to enter your translation in the correct div. When entering a translation of an existing Greek text, SoSOL creates the divs for users. So if there is both a recto and a verso (or similar divisions such as columns), the translation windows already provides the appropriate subdivisions of the text.

---

milestone line

---

To get this PN preview:

Raised line number

---

Use this Leiden+:

((11))

---

To create this XML:

<milestone unit='line' n='11'/>

---

Example PN Link:

---

To indicate the line of the original documentary text. Indication of every line number is strongly discouraged. Instead, mark every 4th or 5th line (if any), starting with ((1)). Let ease of reading be your guide.

---

milestone line with rend=break

---

To get this PN preview:

Raised line number, starting on new line

---

Use this Leiden+:

(((33)))

---

To create this XML:

<milestone unit='line' n='33' rend='break'/>

---

Example PN Link:

---

To indicate the line number of a new 'paragraph' or 'section' of the translation. For example, in a list of contract summaries you might start each new section with a new line: ((1)) ... (((5))) ... (((9))), etc.

---

---

To get this PN preview:

In italics in parentheses

---

Use this Leiden+:

/*Top right sideways*/

---

To create this XML:

<note>Top right sideways</note>

Contents of tag with mouseover defintion

---

Use this Leiden+:

<unwatered land=abrochos>

---

To create this XML:

<term target='abrochos'>unwatered land</term>

---

Example PN Link:

---

To insert a link to the (in progress) glossary. Suppose you are translating the Greek word ἄβροχος and want to link to the glossary entry. From the translation window mouse over 'Helpers', select 'Terms'; find the desired term in the glossary, click on the red transcription of the Greek word. This will insert into your translation window a sample-filled tag: .

Then, depending on what you want to appear in your translation, enter as follows:

<unwatered land=abrochos>

Whatever you enter on the left will appear in the translation; in any case when you mouse over that word in the PN, it will display a pop-up with the definition of abrochos.

---

Example PN Link:
