# <app>

`<app>` | (apparatus entry) contains one entry in a critical apparatus, with an optional lemma and at least one reading.

Attributes

(In addition to global attributes and those inherited from edit)

`type` | classifies the variation contained in this element according to some convenient typology.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Any convenient descriptive word or phrase, describing the extent of the variation (e.g. ‘word’, ‘phrase’, ‘punctuation’, etc.) its text-critical significance (e.g. ‘significant’, ‘accidental’, ‘unclear’), or the nature of the variation or the principles required to understand it (e.g. ‘lectio difficilior’, ‘usus auctoris’, etc.)
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

`from` | identifies the beginning of the lemma in the base text, if necessary.
| Datatype: IDREF
| Values: any valid identifier
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | This attribute is only used when the double-end point method of apparatus markup is used.
`to` | identifies the endpoint of the lemma in the base text, if necessary.
| Datatype: IDREF
| Values: any valid identifier
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | This attribute is only used when the double-end point method of apparatus markup is used, with the encoded apparatus held in a separate file rather than being embedded in-line in the base-text file.
`loc` | (location) indicates the location of the variation, when the location-referenced method of apparatus markup is used.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Any string containing a canonical reference for the passage to which the variation applies.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | This attribute is used only when the location-referenced encoding method is used.
