Hmm, good questions, food for thought. I can't give a very good answer to the main question, but I think that if you are working from a previous edition without access to visual material, and the previous edition showed something as "supplied" (using markup different from their markup for "unclear"), then even if you think it's probably semi-legible in the original, the previous edition's notation should be preserved, so stick to On the secondary question, this goes back to the EpiDoc idea of forbidding I would be happy if @arlogriffiths could let us know whether he agrees with me on the above two points, and what he thinks about changing the tooltip. |
