At the beginning of dramatic texts it is customary to provide a list of the characters in the drama, dramatis personae<\/em>. The TEI has a set of tags that serve to identify this list accurately, and we will use some of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main tag is <castList><\/code> (casting list<\/em>), which, as its name indicates, contains the list of characters or <castItem><\/code>, with the following structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<div type="personae" xml:id="grc.personae">\n\t<head>Τ\u1f70 το\u1fe6 δρ\u03acματος πρ\u03ccσωπα<\/head>\n\t<castlist>\n\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Eteocles">\u1f18τεοκλ\u03aeς<\/role>\n\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Mensajero">\u1f0cγγελος<\/role>\n\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t… etc …\n\t<\/castlist>\n<\/div><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To be visible in the table of contents of the work, the list of characters must be included in a <div><\/code> of @type=\"personae\"<\/code>, with a corresponding <head><\/code> describing its content. In the example, the header that appears in our reference edition for this dramatis personae<\/em> of a play in Greek is shown, but each work or each translation will have its own header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This <div><\/code> will also have its corresponding @xml:id<\/code> so that this list can be aligned with the list that will appear in the translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The <castList><\/code> itself will contain all the <castItem><\/code> needed, composed only of the <role><\/code> of each one. We need to assign a language-prefixed @xml:id<\/code> to each <role><\/code> because we will refer to it every time the character has an intervention throughout the work. For each translation of the work, the @xml:id<\/code> id of the characters will be the same, simply changing the language prefix. The node of each <role><\/code> will be the name of the character in the original language and in the translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case you need to group some of the characters within the general list, you can use the <castGroup><\/code>, tag, adding an internal <head><\/code> that identifies each group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<div type="personae" xml:id="grc.personae">\n\t<head>Τ\u1f70 το\u1fe6 δρ\u03acματος πρ\u03ccσωπα<\/head>\n\t<castlist>\n\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Eteocles">\u1f18τεοκλ\u03aeς<\/role>\n\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Mensajero">\u1f0cγγελος<\/role>\n\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t<castgroup>\n\t\t\t<head>Κωφ\u1f70 πρ\u03ccσωπα<\/head>\n\t\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Eurisakes">Ε\u1f50ρισ\u03acκης<\/role>\n\t\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t\t<castitem>\n\t\t\t\t<role xml:id="grc.Pedagogo">Παιδαγωγ\u03ccς<\/role>\n\t\t\t<\/castitem>\n\t\t<\/castgroup>\n\t\t… etc …\n\t<\/castlist>\n<\/div><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It is advisable always to use @xml:id<\/code> that are short and easily identifiable for each character, to facilitate their later inclusion in the body of the work.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":1338,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1567","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1567"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1917,"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1567\/revisions\/1917"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1338"}],"next":[{"title":"Spoken Text:","link":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/guidelines\/etiquetas-importantes\/texto-hablado-sp\/","href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1575"}],"prev":[{"title":"Headings:","link":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/guidelines\/etiquetas-importantes\/encabezados-head\/","href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebarumfabula.usc.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=1567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
