C. In XML documents, you can make a superscript note number appear in the body of your text that is linked to a note appearing at the foot of the text by inserting all the contents of the note at the place in the text where the superscript note number alone will appear. -- Right, this isn't like HTML at all; it is probably how Word works (if you could see what's going on in its guts, so to speak). To make a note, put right in the place in your text where you want the superscript number linked to that note to appear the code <note></note>
Between that code, you will put the content of your note. Now you'll have to add some information to the initial code: the note number, the place where you want the notes to appear (="foot"), and the person who is responsible for that note.
D. In this note, I have included a link to an outside Web site. I do so by enclosing whatever words I want to be linking words (underlined in blue, usually, when they appear on a Web page) in <xref></xref> codes. The url goes inside the initial xref code.
After being transformed, the top of my document, containing the note number superscript, looks like this:
The bottom looks like this:
E. Encoding a stanza or a paragraph:
The coding for "E" must be fairly self-evident: <lg type="stanza"></lg> (line group code) encloses stanzas; make certain to insert a line break <lb/> between stanzas.
Enclose paragraphs with <p></p>, just as in HTML.
