textcrit

Note

This element may be used to transcribe which character is speaking in a dramatic text as indicated by the source text; the @who attribute of an sp element may be used to point to another element (typically a role) which provides information about the character speaking. Either or both may be used.

Example

<sp who="#ni #rsa">
  <speaker>Nancy and Robert</speaker>
  <stage type="delivery">(speaking simultaneously)</stage>
  <p>The future? ...</p>
</sp>
<list type="speakers">
  <item xml:id="ni"/>
  <item xml:id="rsa"/>
</list>
