| Attributes | att.global.rendition (@rend, @style, @rendition) att.global.linking (@corresp, @synch, @sameAs, @copyOf, @next, @prev, @exclude, @select) att.global.analytic (@ana) att.global.facs (@facs) att.global.change (@change) att.global.responsibility (@cert, @resp) att.global.source (@source) | xml:id | (identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.| Status | Optional | | Datatype | ID | | Note | The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section 3.11. Reference Systems. |
| | n | (number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.| Status | Optional | | Datatype | teidata.text | | Note | The value of this attribute is always understood to be a single token, even if it contains space or other punctuation characters, and need not be composed of numbers only. It is typically used to specify the numbering of chapters, sections, list items, etc.; it may also be used in the specification of a standard reference system for the text. |
| | xml:lang | (language) indicates the language of the element content using a ‘tag’ generated according to BCP 47.| Status | Optional | | Datatype | teidata.language | <p> … The consequences of
this rapid depopulation were the loss of the last
<foreign xml:lang="rap">ariki</foreign> or chief
(Routledge 1920:205,210) and their connections to
ancestral territorial organization.</p> | | Note | The xml:lang value will be inherited from the immediately enclosing element, or from its parent, and so on up the document hierarchy. It is generally good practice to specify xml:lang at the highest appropriate level, noticing that a different default may be needed for the teiHeader from that needed for the associated resource element or elements, and that a single TEI document may contain texts in many languages. Only attributes with free text values (rare in these guidelines) will be in the scope of xml:lang. The authoritative list of registered language subtags is maintained by IANA and is available at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry. For a good general overview of the construction of language tags, see https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/, and for a practical step-by-step guide, see https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags.en.php. The value used must conform with BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-), a language element with a matching value for its ident attribute should be supplied in the TEI header to document this value. Such documentation may also optionally be supplied for non-private-use codes, though these must remain consistent with their (IETF)Internet Engineering Task Force definitions. |

| | xml:space | signals an intention about how white space should be managed by applications.| Status | Optional | | Datatype | teidata.enumerated | | Legal values are: | - default
- signals that the application's default white-space processing modes are acceptable
- preserve
- indicates the intent that applications preserve all white space
| | Note | The XML specification provides further guidance on the use of this attribute. Note that many parsers may not handle xml:space correctly. |
