Re: Using TEI to encode rhetorical devices

Dear Yuval,

An interesting example publication for you might be "The Injured Islanders"
on the *Digital Archives and Pacific Cultures* project. The web interface (
http://pacific.obdurodon.org/InjuredIsland.html) allows users to highlight
"cultural interactions" rather than rhetorical devices, but the encoding
strategy could be instructive. The underlying TEI file for this publication
is here: <http://pacific.obdurodon.org/InjuredIsland.xml>

Best,
Dan
