IML Tags to TEI Elements

IML Tag TEI Element TEI Attributes and Values Notes
AB <ab>
ABBR <choice> with a child <abbr> and child <expan> <abbr> contains a sequence of appropriate style elements and <expan> contains the value of the IML attribute expan or EXPAN.
ACT <div> @type = "act"
ADD N/A There is no equivalent for this boutique handling of extended texts in LEMDO.
AMBIG N/A This tag was developed by the ISE to capture textual ambiguity and animate the possibilities. There is no equivalent in TEI or LEMDO. Handle ambiguities via annotations and collations.
annotations N/A LEMDO processes the annotation files separately and then links the apparatus to the main text using XSLT and Ant builds.
BACKMATTER <back> The content of the backmatter is transformed as per the corresponding templates.
BL This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <L>.
BLL <hi> @rendition = "rnd:blackletter"
BLOCKQUOTE <quote> @source The TEI @source attribute is only generated if the IML element had a source/SOURCE attribute.
BR <lb>
C <hi> @rendition = rnd:centre.
CL <closer> The style attributes are also added to the note element.
COL <cb> @n = value of IML attribute @N
coll This is the top level element for the collations file in IML. LEMDO processes the collation files separately and then links the apparatus to the main text using XSLT and Ant builds.
collations N/A LEMDO processes the collation files separately and then links the apparatus to the main text using XSLT and Ant builds.
CW <fw> @type = "catch"
DD N/A
DIV <div> The style attributes are also added to the note element.

EPILOGUE N/A This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <BACKMATTER> WITH A CHILD <DIV>.
FONT LEMDO handles FONT using CSS and not TEI elements.
FONTGROUP N/A Style switches are processed into <milestone> elements.
FOREIGN <foreign> @lang If the FOREIGN tag has a lang or LANG attribute with any value other than "gibberish", then the TEI <foreign> element gets a @xml:lang with the corresponding value. If the value of the IML LANG/lang attribute is "Dog Latin", then the value of the @xml:lang attribute would be changed to "la-x-doglatin".
FRONTMATTER <front> The content of the frontmatter is transformed as per the corresponding templates.
H1 <head> @n with a value of "1" AND corresponding @style or @rendition attributes and their corresponding values This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <LD>.

H6 <head> @n with a value of "6" AND corresponding @style or @rendition attributes and their corresponding values This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <LD>.
HW <seg> OR <ab> @style AND @type If the HW is the descendant of S, SD, or STANZA, or when the HW is a descendant of the prologue.
I <hi> @rendition = "rnd:italic"
I - for foreign language foreign @xml:lang with the value corresponding to the proper language.
I - for title <title> @level = "m"
iembed N/A
ilink N/A
INDENT Style switches are processed into <milestone> elements.
iseHeader N/A
J <hi> @rendition = "rnd:justify"
L <l> Do not use <l> in semi-diplomatic transcriptions. In modern texts, wrap <l> around the entire line of verse.
LB This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <L>.
LD <head> OR <ab> OR <div> followed by <head> OR <seg> With <ab> and <seg> : @type = "literaryDivision" When <LD> is the only child of <ACT>, <SCENE>, or <DIV>, OR when it is a child of <ACT>, <SCENE>, or <DIV> with no siblings <SD>, <S>, or <L>, OR when it is a child of <WORK>, it is processed into a <head> element followed by the appropriate sequence of appropriate elements. When <LD> is the child of <ACT>, <SCENE>, or <DIV>, it gets processed into a <ab> element. When <LD> is the child of <FRONTMATTER>, it gets processed into a <div> element followed by a <head> element and the sequence of appropriate elements. When the <LD> is neither the descendant of a <S> element nor of a <SD> element, it gets processed into an <ab> element followed by the appropriate sequence of elements.
LEM N/A
level N/A
LINEGROUP <lg> with children elements <l> @n for IML attributes n and N | @type for IML attributes form and FORM | @rhyme for rhyme and RHYME IML attributes | @part for IML attibutes part or PART When the LINEGROUP does have <l> or <L> descendents, then they are processed accordingly. Otherwise we add <l> elements by grouping per TLN. This processing is not perfect and needs attention from the remediator.
LINK N/A
linklist N/A
linkText N/A
ln N/A
LS <hi> @rendition = "rnd:letterspace"
MARG <note> @type = "marginal" AND @place = "plc-left-margin" or "plc-right-margin" depending on the source attributes
META <p> The META is part of the teiHeader and gets processed by adding its content into a <p> element.
MODE: verse <l> In semi-diplomatic transcriptions, the encoding would be different: it would account for modes in the attributes for <div> elements.
MODE: prose <p> In semi-diplomatic transcriptions, the encoding would be different: it would account for modes in the attributes for <div> elements.
NOTE <note> The style attributes are also added to the note element.
note <note>
OL N/A <OL> is used for bibliography entries in IML. LEMDO has a bibliography document and links to it from the texts using <ref> elements and @target attributes, with the value corresponding to the ID of the work in BIBL1.
ORNAMENT <figure> OR <seg> Printerʼs ornaments are converted into figures. Otherwise they are converted into <seg> elements, for the remediator to evaluate at a later stage.
PAGE <pb> @n = the values of IML attributes: @N, @n, @SIG, and @sig
PN <fw> @type = "pageNum"
POEM N/A This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <DIV>.
PROLOGUE This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <FRONTMATTER> with <DIV>.
PROP <ab> with a child <rs> OR <rs> @n AND/OR @subtype When the parent tag of <PROP> is <SCENE>, the <rs> element needs a parent <ab> element; otherwise a <rs> element is the TEI element of choice. As for the attributes, if the PROP tag has a DESC or desc attribute, then the TEI attribute would be @n. If the PROP tag has an ITEM or item attribute, then the TEI attribute would be @subtype.
PROSEQUOTE <quote> @type with value taken from that of the type attribute in the source file AND @source The @source attribute is only available if the IML tag had a source or SOURCE attribute.
q N/A
QLN <lb> @type with the value of the n or N attributes in the IML instance
QUOTE TEI comment declaring beginning and end of the quote OR <quote> @source If the <QUOTE> tag has a source attribute in the IML, we process its value to adhere to the taxonomy standards of LEMDO.
R <hi> @rendition = "rnd:normalstyle"
RA <hi> @rendition = "rnd:right"
RDG N/A
RT <fw> @type = "runningTitle"
RULE <figure> @type = rule AND @n with the value of the IML attribtue n or N
S <sp> The code adds a <speaker> element as part of the conversion process.
SC N/A
SCENE <div> @type = "scene"
SD <stage> @type with the respective values of the SD @T or @t When the value of the @T or @t attributes is "action" it gets replaced with @business, and when it is "whoto", it gets replaced with "delivery".
SECTION <div> @type = "section" AND @n with the value of n or N attributes in the IML instance The @n attribute is dependant on the existence of the n or N attributes in IML.
SIG <fw> @type = "sig"
SP <speaker> Although an <P> tag becomes the <speaker> element, this conversion happens as pert of the processing of <S> tags. In fact, we simply delete <SP> tags when we are processing them.
SPACE <space> @unit = "chars" and @quantity = the value of IML attributes @N, @n, @l, and @L When the SPACE IML element has a @T attribute, the TEI <space> element gets a @type attribute.
STANZA <lg> with children elements <l> @n for IML attributes n and N | @type for IML attributes form and FORM | @rhyme for rhyme and RHYME IML attributes | @part for IML attibutes part or PART When the LINEGROUP does have <l> or <L> descendents, then they are processed accordingly. Otherwise we add <l> elements by grouping per TLN. This processing is not perfect and needs attention from the remediator.
SUB <hi> @rendition = "rnd:subscript"
SUP <hi> @rendition = "rnd:superscript"
SWASH <seg> @type = "swash" AND @subtype with the value of the where or WHERE attributes in the IML instance The @subtype attribute is dependant of the presence of a where or WHERE attribute in the IML.
TITLE <head> In some instances, we process IML TITLE elements into <seg> elements with a @type attribute and a value of "titleHead".
TITLEHEAD <head> OR <div> with a child <head> OR <ab> OR <seg> OR <docTitle> OR <dateline> @type = "titleHead" for <ab> and <seg> elements The TEI element for IML <TITLEHEAD> depends on the IML parent and ancestor elements, as well as preceding sibling elements.
TITLEPAGE N/A This tag has been deprecated in IML and replaced by <DIV> with a NAME attribute.
TLN <lb> @type AND @n with the respective values of the IML attribute
var N/A
VERSEQUOTE <quote> @type with value taken from that of the type attribute in the source file AND @source The @source attribute is only available if the IML tag had a source or SOURCE attribute.
WLN N/A
WORK N/A IML documents were rooted on WORK. LEMDO documents are rooted on <TEI> elements and contain a <teiHeader> . IML <WORK> elements are processed and added to the <body> of the corresponding TEI file.
