[jats-list] AW: preformatted text in BITS 2.

Hi Denis,

Yes, Ibd agree with your approach as BITS isnbt really suited for that
kind of content you have to work with workarounds.
<preformat> would be a bad choice, <verse-group> too as they have a different
meaning.
To have different <p>s would naturally come with a new line. Another option if
you wanted to keep them within one <p> would be the use of <named-content> and
@content-type (but I donbt think thatbs better).

Looks like an interesting project by the way.

Best
Franziska

Dear colleagues,
May I kindly reiterate this question? Any thoughts about this?
Ibm currently leaning towards using `boxed-text` with an appropriate
attribute. Anything that speaks against this ?
Best,
Denis

Betreff: preformatted text in BITS 2.

Dear colleagues

Ibm bit struggling with how a should tag the following type of text:
Webre going to produce a catalog of Incunables at our institution, each
incunable will end up in its own `book-part` with the `body` looking like:

```
      <body>
        <sec>
        <p>Impressum gemC$ss Kolophon
GemC$ss GW und ISTC gedruckt in der Werkstatt des Andreas Asulanus

        </sec>
      </body>
    </book-part>
```

Normal paragraphs are not to problem. We use `@content-type` to distinguish
between different types of paragraphs. However the `p` element that starts
with `<p>Impressum gemC$ss Kolophon` is bit tricky as this should preserve
line breaks when going HTML later. How would you deal with that kind of
requirement?

Ibve seen there is a `preformat` tag, which would sound like a good fit
here. However, the specification says this will typically be rendered in a
monospace font, which is not the case here.

Another option Ibve considered is using `verse-group` and `verse-line`
elements, like so :

```
<verse-group>
  <verse-line>Impressum gemC$ss Kolophon</verse-line>
  <verse-line>GemC$ss GW und ISTC gedruckt in der Werkstatt des Andreas
Asulanus</verse-line>
  <verse-line>Foliierungsfehler: Blattzahlen 49-50 und 69-70 ausgelassen,
Blattzahlen 120-121 wiederholt, zahlreiche weitere Fehler</verse-line>
  <verse-line>Signaturformel: abdB9b0, eb8, fB9b0, gb8, hblB9b0,
mB9B2, nbzB9b0, [et]b6 </verse-line>
  <verse-line>Blatt [et]b ist unbedruckt</verse-line>
</verse-group>
```

That way you can explicity tag each line, and also you can have proper
indentation. I donbt know if itbs just me, but I feel this here looks
wrong (content of `preformat` is left-aligned, not indented to where where the
tag startes):
```
<preformat>Impressum gemC$ss Kolophon
GemC$ss GW und ISTC gedruckt in der Werkstatt des Andreas Asulanus
Foliierungsfehler: Blattzahlen 49-50 und 69-70 ausgelassen, Blattzahlen
120-121 wiederholt, zahlreiche weitere Fehler
Signaturformel: abdB9b0, eb8, fB9b0, gb8, hblB9b0, mB9B2, nbzB9b0,
[et]b6
Blatt [et]b ist unbedruckt
</preformat>
        <p content-type="position-3">Venedig: Bernardino Stagnino oder Andreas
Asulanus, 20.10.1492</p>
```

Last option Ibve considered is using `p` elements for the individual lines,
and wrapping these in a `boxed-text` container:

```
<boxed-text >
  <p >Impressum gemC$ss Kolophon</p>
  <p>GemC$ss GW und ISTC gedruckt in der Werkstatt des Andreas Asulanus</p>
  <p>Foliierungsfehler: Blattzahlen 49-50 und 69-70 ausgelassen, Blattzahlen
120-121 wiederholt, zahlreiche weitere Fehler</p>
  <p>Signaturformel: abdB9b0, eb8, fB9b0, gb8, hblB9b0, mB9B2,
nbzB9b0, [et]b6 </p>
  <p>Blatt [et]b ist unbedruckt</p>
</boxed-text >
```

Of course, with all three options a proper attribute (`@content-type`,
`@preformat-type`) may help to add meaningful semantics.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Is there something Ibm missing? Which
option would you choose? Is one of these options completely off the rails? Do
you see other options?

Best,
Denis
