Some of the Text is Added by the Transform
(textual additions are called “generated” text)
Text that is not in the data, but is put in by the transform,
based on the tagging
For example:
- numbers or bullets that prefix list items (1., 2., 3.)
(based on <list-item> tag)
- mark a footnote reference (²) or a citation reference [Lapeyre, 2006]
based on a cross-reference made with an attribute
- Adding words or phrases to titles (Chapter VI Sassy Poodles)
- Turning a cross reference into text
- <xref redid=:A123456"/> into
- “See Figure 6, Herpetologist Distribution Curve”
