Description
Label a supplied manuscript break kind and one-based line number.
Digital editions separate source readings, editorial uncertainty, witness locators, image requests, identifiers and rights statements. XML character/attribute rules differ from display labels, while URI fragments and TEI pointers need their target-document context. An identifier key or formatted token does not authenticate a witness, validate an edition or authorize reuse.
Label a supplied manuscript break kind and one-based line number.
When to use this tool
Use Manuscript Line Break Token when you already have lineNumber, breakKind and need to label a supplied manuscript break kind and one-based line number.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter lineNumber, breakKind. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require positive safe lineNumber and breakKind line/column/page; return [kind break number].1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| lineNumber | Line Number | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| breakKind | Break Kind | Required. Text; one of "line", "column", "page"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"lineNumber": 12,
"breakKind": "line"
},
"output": {
"token": "[line break 12]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a display token, not a parsed manuscript, TEI break element, pagination check or verified source position.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Validate the complete XML/TEI document or IIIF request when technical conformance matters, and inspect the original witness and rights record for editorial use. Preserve uncertain readings, source order and attribution rather than treating local tokens as verified scholarly interpretations.
