Strategy for merging adjacent TEI elements (eg supplied)
How to deal with adjacent tags or so that the before and after typographic convention is merge ?
for example, if is defined in a to be surrounded by ‘{‘ and ‘}’, two adjacent supplied:
suppliedText1suppliedText2 would produce: {suppliedText1}{suppliedText2}
what to do to have them merge:
{suppliedText1suppliedText2} or {suppliedText1 suppliedText2}
testing for a preceding and/or following supplied seems cumbersome and sometimes there would be or other milestones element that shouldn’t stop the merge…
Is it then possible to pass a transformation in a second step, once all the tags have been transformed ?
thanks for your advice
