The element linkGrp may only contain link or ptr. How can I use it to
associate one of these with a pb or graphic element? That is, how would
you redo the markup in one of these to associate word ranges with
particular page images?
<!-- first option -->
<text>
<body>
<ab xml:base="criticaledition.xml">
<pb facs="manuscriptimage1.jpg"/>
<ptr target="range(#W.238.16.06,#W.239.03.02)"/>
<pb facs="manuscriptimage2.jpg"/>
<ptr target="range(#W.239.03.03,#W.239.37.10)"/>
<pb facs="manuscriptimage3.jpg"/>
<ptr target="range(#W.239.37.12,#W.241.16.12)"/>
</ab>

(I've corrected the URI references from my initial email to correctly
point to an external document.)

I thought use of div to indicate text that happened to fall on a single
page of a witness would constitute tag abuse since there's no structural
division in the text at the point of the page break. If this would be
an acceptable use of div, then I would not be opposed to doing:
<text>
<body xml:base="criticaledition.xml">
<div corresp="range(#W.238.16.06,#W.239.03.02)">
<pb facs="manuscriptimage1.jpg"/>
</div>
<div corresp="range(#W.239.03.03,#W.239.37.10)">
<pb facs="manuscriptimage2.jpg"/>
</div>
<div corresp="range(#W.239.37.12,#W.241.16.12)">
<pb facs="manuscriptimage3.jpg"/>
</div>
</body>
</text>
Tag abuse?
