This manual provides instructions for encoders, editors, and contributors working on MoEML’s XML documents. Please do not hesitate to contact the MoEML team for additional assistance.
Because MoEML’s practices are always being updated, please refer back to this manual frequently.
MoEML uses links to connect strings of text to different parts of the website. Links can also connect strings of text to external web pages. Depending on what type of content the string of text contains, different encoding practices are used.
The following section outlines how to encode internal links to (1) other documents (2) different sections within the same document.

show all the documents in a category, but another variant shows instead

In order to link to an audio file in a born-digital or primary source document, the file must first be added to the db/data/binary_docs
folder in the SVN repository. Write a description of the audio and tag it using a

folder is represented as simply docs/
in the URL path.
To include a graphic in a born-digital document on the site, first create the graphic and save it
in the graphics
folder within the MoEML
subversion repository. Make sure that the file has a sensible filename
(no spaces, no capitals, no punctuation, etc.), then add and commit the file to
SVN. Screenshots go in a subfolder in SVN called graphics/screenshots
. We use screenshots in our documentation to demonstrate encoding practices. Digital facsimiles of early books (of our copy of the 1633 Stow, for example) go in the facsimiles
folder in SVN.
Once the file is available, you can refer to it in an XML file as follows:
The example above, with

There are three more ways in which you can use figures in
born-digital documents. If you have a collection of many images
and you would like to display them as a set, then you can use
this approach:
Also, there may be rare occasions when you need to bracket
together an image with a block of text which is too large to
be called a caption. In this case, you can use this structure:
Finally, you may need to include a tiny image inline in
your text, when (for example) talking about a toolbar button
in Oxygen. This is the way to do that:
MoEML marks up all early modern London locations,
people, events, and livery companies, in addition to bibliographical

make sure you include a comment with full details of what needs to be done.
To tag people, use the
It is not uncommon to come across literary persons who have similar roles, but are distinct characters. For example, in Greek mythology,
If the person you need to link to does not yet appear in PERS1, and you are

different parts or articles within a single website, parenthesize the website title (or, in some instances, the surname of the website’s author) and the title of the part/article. Link the website title (or author’s surname) to the BIBL1.xml entry for the website and link the title of the part/article to the http:// address for the part/article. For example,
Referencing a MoEML page as a bibliographic item within a MoEML page is distinct from simply linking to a MoEML page. To cite a MoEML page as a bibliographic item, use the

Although individual documents contain lists of related documents
when rendered on the live site, links between related documents are encoded wholly inside the LINKS1.xml database and require no input in individual documents. For further information, see documentation regarding how to use the LINKS1.xml database.
