GAP

   (i.e. omitted material)
  Description:  indicates a point where material has been omitted in a
        transcription, whether for editorial reasons described in the TEI
        header, as part of sampling practice, or because the material is
        illegible or inaudible.
  Attributes:
        desc (i.e. description):  gives a description of the omitted text.
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  a prose description of the material omitted.
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        This attribute is optional.
        reason:  gives the reason for omission.  Sample values include
              "sampling", "illegible", "inaudible", "irrelevant", "can-
              celed", "canceled and illegible".
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  any short indication of the reason for the omission.
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        This attribute is optional.
        resp (i.e. responsibility):  indicates the editor, transcriber or
              encoder responsible for the decision not to provide any
              transcription of the text and hence the application of the
              <gap> tag.
        Data type:  IDREF
        Value:  must be one of the identifiers declared in the document
              header, associated with a person asserted as responsible for
              some aspect of the text's creation, transcription, editing
              or encoding (see chapter 17, "Certainty and Responsibility,"
              on page 33).
        Default value:  %INHERITED
        This attribute is optional.
        hand:  In the case of text omitted from the transcription because
              of deliberate deletion by an identifiable hand, signifies
              the hand which made the deletion.
        Data type:  IDREF
        Value:  must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the docu-
              ment header (see section 18.2.1, "Document Hands," on page
              35).
        Default value:  %INHERITED
        This attribute is optional.
        agent:  In the case of text omitted from the transcription because
              of damage or other phenomenon  resulting from an identifia-
              ble cause, signifies the causative agent.
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  any prose description of the agency of damage.
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        This attribute is optional.
        extent:  indicates approximately how much text has been omitted
              from the transcription, in letters, minims, inches, or any
              appropriate unit, either because of editorial policy or
              because a deletion, damage or other cause has rendered tran-
              scription impossible.
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  any string of characters
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        Remarks:  It is possible, but not always necessary, to provide
              measurements precise to the millimeter or even to the print-
              er's point. The degree of precision attempted will vary with
              the purpose of the encoding and the nature of the material.
        This attribute is optional.
  Remarks:  The <gap>,  <unclear>, and <del> core tag elements may be
        closely allied in use with the <damage> and <supplied> elements,
        available when using the additional tagset for transcription of
        primary sources.  See section 18.2.4, "The Use of the Gap, Del,
        Damage, Unclear and Supplied Tags in Combination," on page 35 for
        discussion of which element is appropriate for which circumstance.
