Dear Martin, this is how the TEI would do it: http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ND.html#NDPER
So something like: <persName><roleName type=”royal”>His Majesty</roleName> <roleName type=”academic”>Dr.</roleName> <forename>Snoopy</forename> <addName type=”nickname”>Hickup</addName> <surname>Miller</surname> <genName>Jr</genName></persName> But one would need guidelines, esp. for the type attribute. In TEI everything can be done, and in several ways... Regards, Øyvind > Am 21.11.2018 um 23:11 schrieb Martin Doerr <[email protected]>: > > Dear Richard, > > XML is even better.
