<corr>

<corr> is the TEI element used to correct errors in the original text. It is used as a transcriber's note. Since, the correction is embedded in the TEI file. It can be used by an academic researcher to locate corrections made to the original text. Therefore, there is no reason to provide a Errata Page for the general reader.

It is used with to attributes sic and resp. sic is the original error. resp is the person responsible for the correction. If the attribute resp is used, a <respStmt> element must be included in the <teiHeader>.

This is an eror[** typo: error] in the text.
