Subpages will be added for specific `<front>` elements (see sidebar).
|
|
In the `<front>`, we add the information listed below, keeping the order in which it appears in the play.
|

Our encoding usually starts with the dramatis personae, as we do not use a `titlePage` element and we do not encode most other information that usually appears before the character list (e.g. licensing conditions for the play).

## Dedications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Dedications** if any, using a `<div type="dedication">`. Dedication-like information is also encoded with the same attribute (e.g. a notice that the play was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of something, even if there is no explicit dedication of the play). We don't respect case value in the source unless required by orthography, but we record line breaks as in the source, see an [[example]](https://git.unistra.fr/methal/methal-sources/-/blob/master/bastian-hofnarr-heidideldum.xml#L172).

Some plays provide a more detailed character description after the character list, giving additional information about clothes and appearance. If formatted as a list in the source, we encode this in a `<list>` element. For numbered lists, use a `<list>` and specify `@rend="numbered"` rather than reproducing the numbering. See an [[example]](https://git.unistra.fr/methal/methal-sources/-/blob/master/clemens-chrischtowe.xml#L191).

## Setting

|
|
|
|
|
|
Using one or more `<set>` elements.
|

|
|
|

|
Plays in this corpus most often have a small description regarding the time and place where the action takes place, sometimes itemized by act and/or scene.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These descriptions are generally simple, and our encoding is very simple so far. We keep the text but not its format (bold etc. is not kept) We do not tag place or time expressions, although this would be very useful future work. See some examples below.

Some authors use more complex conventions (e.g. Camille Jost, who breaks up the setting information into several paragraphs). For these cases, so far we have used `<p>` elements and indeed kept the bold format used for headings (_ORT_, _ZYTT_ and so on). However, this may be revised in the future, and be made more semantic (e.g. with several `<set>` elements with a relevant `@type` value like _time_, _place_ and so on) instead of `<p>` elements.

## Play summary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If any, e.g. an _Inhaltsangabe_ paragraph: Using `<div type="front">`. See [[example]](https://git.unistra.fr/methal/methal-sources/-/blob/master/hart-dr-poetisch-oscar.xml#L110).

## General guidelines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the different types of information bear a **heading**, this is kept in a `<head>` tag (as long as allowed by the TEI-All schema (we have no custom schema so far)).
