Callouts

How to encode callouts

A callout is the summary gloss or note on a paragraph that indicates its topic. While out of scope for v1, the text of eb11 supplied by PG includes them.

The simplest option (which we use eb11 for v1) is to encode the gloss anywhere in the paragraph as a <note> with @type and @place as follows:

<note type="gloss" place="margin">Sample text.</note>.

A more comprehensive option (planned for v2) is to move the callouts to the end of the entry or to a separate file. Give each a unique @xml:id. Then use <ptr/> with @target to point to the callout.
