TEI Text Encoding: A FairCopy User Guide for COVE

Formatting Title Pages

Many title pages for novels and other long prose texts from the Victorian era and prior have long, information-heavy title pages. When encoding these texts, try to replicate the formatting of the original title page. This is for readability and to allow viewers to recognize this common genre convention. See the following screenshots for an example.

Note that the sample encoded text shown above uses a mix of the following rend values:

large
small
italic
bold
center

It also uses:

line break (lb) elements
horizontal lines
- create horizontal lines by inserting a lb element and modifying it with a rend value “horizontal-rule.”
- The width of the horizontal line can be modified by selecting the p element that contains the lb and entering a rend value for text alignment (e.g., “style511”). See section Formatting Text with Indentations & Alignment for a list of these values.
