Dear colleagues, There's a TEI discussion https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1877 about a new element <ellipsis> to be added to the next edition of the TEI guidelines. The idea is that this tag would mark, "the purposeful indication in the source document that a passage has been omitted." or "when the source explicitly indicates `there is stuff missing here'." An example that has been shared is the poem in the middle of the central column of this page https://hcmc.uvic.ca/~vicpoems/page_images/chambers_series_1/09/chambers_1_0..., where there's a line of asterisks. They would be tagged <ellipsis>* * * *</ellipsis> We're looking for more examples. If you can quickly (before mid-August) lay your hand on a good, clear example from a Sanskrit text, I would be grateful to know about it. For example, MSS in which the scribe writes a little series of mātrā lines showing that he can't read those akṣaras in his exemplar at that point. I think that would count as ellipsis in the sense given above Best, Dominik
