## Text Encoding Initiative

### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines

# <supplied>

`<supplied>` | signifies text supplied by the transcriber or editor in place of text which cannot be read, either because of physical damage or loss in the original or because it is illegible for any reason.

Attributes

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

`reason` | indicates why the text has had to be supplied.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any phrase describing the difficulty, e.g. ‘overbinding’, ‘faded ink’, ‘lost folio’, ‘omitted in original’.
| Default: #IMPLIED

`resp` | indicates the individual responsible for supplying the letter, word or passage contained within the `<supplied>` element.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: must be one of the identifiers declared in the document header, associated with a person asserted as responsible for some aspect of the text's creation, transcription, editing, or encoding (see chapter 17 Certainty and Responsibility).
| Default: %INHERITED;
`hand` | where the presumed loss of text leading to the supplying of text arises from action (partial deletion, etc.) assignable to an identifiable hand, signifies the hand responsible for the action.
| Datatype: IDREF
| Values: must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the document header (see section 18.2.1 Document Hands).
| Default: %INHERITED;
`agent` | where the presumed loss of text leading to the supplying of text arises from an identifiable cause, signifies the causative agent.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any prose description of the agent.
| Default: #IMPLIED
`source` | states the source of the supplied text.
| Datatype: CDATA
