Module 4: Poetry

You can test what you've learned in the tutorial for TEI by Example Module 4: Poetry by taking the following quiz.

It consists of a number of multiple choice questions, each providing a number of possible answers. Select the answer you think is correct by clicking it. There are 2 possibilities:

The answer is correct: hurrah! a popup box appears telling you why this is the correct answer. You can still check why the other answers are incorrect by clicking them. This will not reduce your score, though.
The answer is incorrect: pity, but you get a second chance! A popup box tells you why the answer is incorrect. You can still choose the other answers until you find the correct one. Mind you, until you clicked the correct answer, each incorrect answer will reduce your score.

The TEI guidelines provide a chapter about how to mark up:
1. poetry
2. verse
3. lyrics
4. rhymes
A new typographical line within prose is encoded with the tag:
1. <br/>
2. <l>
3. <lb/>
4. <p>
@type attributes can be used within tags to express some value decided by the encoder. What would the correct syntax of the @type attribute be to describe a line group which the encoder decided was a sonnet?
1. <lg type=sonnet>
2. <lg "type=sonnet">
3. <lg.type = "sonnet">
4. <lg type="sonnet">
Can line groups <lg> tags nest inside each other?
1. yes, they can, and always have to
2. yes they can, but don’t always have to
3. no, never
4. no, unless you have provided the correct @type attribute
You want to number the individual lines within a poem – how would you number the first line?
1. <l number="1">
2. <l n="1">
3. <ln="1">
4. <l no="1">
What is wrong with the following example?
```
<lg type="k41a3" rhyme="abc" n="48">
 <l>Cheesy crisps and favourite <rhyme label="a">mags</rhyme></l>
 <l>Kidney beans (1 large <rhyme label="c">can</rhyme>)</l>
 <l>Cling film and kitchen <rhyme label="b">foil</rhyme></l>
</lg>
```
<lg xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" type="k41a3" rhyme="abc" n="48">
<l>Cheesy crisps and favourite
<rhyme label="a">mags</rhyme>
</l>
<l>Kidney beans (1 large
<rhyme label="c">can</rhyme>
)</l>
<l>Cling film and kitchen
<rhyme label="b">foil</rhyme>
</l>
</lg>
1. k41a3 is not a valid type of line group.
2. The number starts at 48, but it should be 1.
3. The rhyme scheme is given as "abc", but is "a, c, b" in the example.
4. @label is not a valid attribute to use with <rhyme>.
What is the <caesura/> tag for?
1. It marks the end of a section of the poem, where a long break may be taken.
2. It indicates a quote from an important individual, such as Caesar.
3. It marks the point at which a metrical line may be divided.
4. It marks the point where the rhyme scheme is no longer applicable.
What is an @xml:id attribute useful for?
1. It identifies the smallest addressable structures in the document, which can be used in further discussion.
2. It provides a unique id number to each poem.
3. It asks the computer to carry out an xml task of assigning identification to each line.
4. It defines which type of xml you are using within the text.
