I wonder if anyone know a valid way to tag a speech group with multiple speakers with the same speech line? here is the rough example of what the speach may look like

A : words words
B: words words
C: words words
A,B: words words words
C,A: words words words

i did try to make a nested speech group, but i don't think that is a vallid way of doing it. please let me know.

thanks~!

Hi,

I am not a TEI expert, but what about the following?

Code: Select all


<sp>

    <speaker>

        <name>A</name>

    </speaker>

    <p>words words</p>

</sp>

<sp>

    <speaker>

        <name>B</name>

    </speaker>

    <p>words words</p>

</sp>

<sp>

    <speaker>

        <name>A</name>

        <name>B</name>

    </speaker>

    <p>words words words</p>

</sp>

<sp>

    <speaker>

        <name>C</name>

        <name>A</name>

    </speaker>

    <p>words words words</p>

</sp>

Thanks for the reply. I did use your the tagging that you suggested, and it validates. However, I am not sure whether is what my professor wants, since the <name> tag is not used in all of his other quartos.

Do you happen to know how to add braces to the tagging or should it be a CSS matter? The braces represents the speech of two speaker. Meaning if A and B is the speaker for the same speech, there will be a brace surrounding the speech.

eg: A, B { speech } (however the brace iis not as small thou}

Hope you understand what I am trying to say here.
