The add element contains material inserted by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector. The agent responsible for the addition may be encoded using the hand attribute, while the resp attribute records the editor or transcriber responsible for identifying the hand of the addition. The cert attribute signifies the degree of certainty ascribed to the identification of the hand of the addition. The editor(s) responsible for asserting this particular reading may be recorded in the resp attribute. The value of resp must point to one or more identifiers declared in the document header.
In no case should add contain elements that would not otherwise be permitted to occur within the parent of its own app ancestor. For example, when used as a descendent of verse, add should only contain those elements allowed within verse.
The model of this element is based on the add element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
