• TEI definition: lb ; EpiDoc-specific customization: lb

Words divided across lines (i.e. where the line-break does not indicate a word-break) should be indicated by the lb marking the new line with a break with a value of "no".

This, among other things, allows the XSLT to generate the hyphen at the end of the preceding line. In some processing environments, the appearance of the hyphen will be improved by ensuring that there is no whitespace (spaces or new lines) before the lb.

For further explanation of the lb element, see the guidance for Line Breaks.
