what section do section dividers belong to?

[JonathanReeve]

Should it be:

<milestone unit="section" rend="asterixes"><l> * * * </l></milestone>

</div> <!-- 1.3 --> 

<div n="1.4" type="section"> 

or:

</div> <!-- 1.3 --> 

<milestone unit="section" rend="asterixes"><l> * * * </l></milestone>

<div n="1.4" type="section"> 

or:

</div> <!-- 1.3 --> 

<div n="1.4" type="section"> 

<milestone unit="section" rend="asterixes"><l> * * * </l></milestone>

@jamesosullivan, what do you think?

Note that in TEI <milestone> is an empty element and thus cannot contain any text or markup. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-milestone.html

In this case, if <div> is used to mark the section boundaries, perhaps the rend attribute could be used to record the asterisks as section break markers? <fw> could be another option. <metamark> might be the most appropriate element: http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-metamark.html

Apologies for the unsolicited opinion.

Right you are, @tcatapano. Thanks for catching that! I'll change those to <milestone unit="section" rend="asterixes"> and just have that transformed to * * * in the XSL.

And there's no such thing as an unsolicited opinion--that's what open source is all about! Do feel free to contribute in whatever way you like.
