+ Mix of Languages in Text +

+ A play may feature words, speeches or entire scenes in a + language other than the main language of the play. + Examples for this phenomenon may be found in NeoLatDraCor, + RomDraCor, UDraCor, or YiDraCor. The passages are encoded + as follows. Add the xml:lang attribute to the + highest possible element, e.g. a sp or div + element. + If there is no element to add the xml:lang + attribute to, use the foreign tag to mark up the + respective word or passage. This case may apply to single + words or sentences within a speech, stage direction, or + similar. The foreign element is used to mark up + words or passages in another language. For words or passages + in a dialect other than the main language of a play, use the + distinct element. +
