Text Encoding Initiative
Additions, deletions and substitutions
Alterations made to the text, whether by the scribe or in some later hand, can be encoded using <add> (‘addition’) and <del> (‘deletion’); further information may be given as attribute values. The following is an example of a substitution:
Kätlig e&rrot;u þau kuædin<expan>n</expan> <del type="subst" rend="overstrike">&fins;le&slong;t</del> <add place="margin" hand="scribe">næ&rrot;&slong;t</add> er koma til ijngis
Which can be made to display as follows:
Kätlig eu þau kuædinn leſt \næſt/ er koma til ijngis
