LB

   (i.e. line break)
  Description:  marks the start of a new (typographic) line in some edi-
        tion or version of a text.
  Attributes:
        ed (i.e. edition):  indicates the edition or version in which the
              line break is located at this point
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally
              used for the edition.
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        Example:
                      <lb ed=Riverside n=123>
        This attribute is recommended.
        n (i.e. number or name):  indicates the number or other value
              associated with the line which follows the point of inser-
              tion of this <lb>.
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  Any string of characters.
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        Remarks:  Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as
              to whether the numbers associated with line breaks relate to
              the physical sequence number of the line within the page, or
              to some aspect of the logical structure of the text.  By
              convention, <lb> elements should appear at the start of the
              line to which they refer.
        This attribute is optional.
  Remarks:  Like other forms of milestone tag, <lb> tags cannot be auto-
        matically verified by SGML; for better validation, a concurrent
        markup stream should be used.
           The <lb> tag is intended for making typographic line breaks in
        prose. It should be carefully distinguished from the <l> element,
        used to mark lines of verse.
