+% As \meta{lemma text} is a word or a phrase judged by the editor to
+% be authentic or authoritative, \cs{lem} prints it by default both in
+% the edition text and as the first part of a new entry in the
+% apparatus criticus, preceded by the line number where it occurs or a
+% broad space if the entry refers to the same line as the preceding
+% entry. The optional argument of \cs{lem} accepts the following
+% comma-separated list of \enquote{name$=$value} arguments:---\\
+% \DescribeOption{wit} |wit|$=$\meta{csv list of witnesses}\\
+% While a single witness may be recorded as in |wit=A|,
+% comma-separated lists of multiple witnesses must obviously be
+% enclosed in curly braces, like so:
+% |wit={A,B,C}|. \dummy\label{ref:mss-sep-families}It must be noted
+% that witnesses can be grouped by using spaces as separators, like
+% so: \verb*|wit={A,B,C, D,E,F}|.\\
+% \label{ref:lem-opts-b}
+% \DescribeOption{alt} |alt|$=$\meta{alternate lemma}\\
+% While the mandatory argument of \cs{lem}, \meta{lemma text}, is
+% always used to print the edition text in the upper part of the page,
+% \meta{alternate lemma}, if specified, supersedes what is printed in
+% the related unit of the apparatus criticus. This mechanism is useful
+% in more than one respect. For instance, it can be used to insert
+% abbreviated lemmata in the apparatus criticus, or to introduce an
+% alternate way of writing entries with Latin technical terms in the
+% apparatus criticus as will be demonstrated below in the example
+% provided by \vref{lst:pj2}.\\
+% \DescribeOption{sep} |sep|$=$\meta{separator}\\
+% |sep| allows to change the symbol used to separate the lemma text
+% from deviant readings, which is by default the closing square
+% bracket (|]|)\\

+% This named argument does not need a value as it defaults to |true|
+% if it is used. |nolem| completely removes the lemma text from the

+% entry in the apparatus criticus.\\
+% \DescribeOption{type} |type|$=$\meta{value}\\
+% This named argument has no effect on the apparatus criticus of the
+% edition in print, but it is used in the \texttt{TEI xml} ouput to
+% classify the variation recorded in the entry according to some
+% convenient typology. Categories such as lexical, morphological,

+% \label{ref:lem-opts-e}
+%
+% \paragraph{Readings} \DescribeMacro{\rdg}
+% \cs{rdg}\oarg{options}\marg{variant reading}\\
+% As \meta{reading} is a word or a phrase judged by the editor to be
+% unsatisfactory or corrupted, \cs{rdg} prints it by default in the
+% last part of the corresponding entry in the apparatus criticus,
+% after the symbol that is used to separate words of the base text
+% (the lemma text) from words rejected by the editor.  The optional
+% argument of \cs{rdg} accepts a comma-separated list of
+% \enquote{name$=$value} arguments that is almost identical to
+% \cs{app}. Therefore, emphasis will be placed here only on the
+% differences. The reader is invited to refer to the description
+% provided above \vpagerefrange{ref:lem-opts-b}{ref:lem-opts-e} for
+% more detailed information:---\\
+% \DescribeOption{wit} |wit|$=$\meta{csv list of witnesses}\\
+% \DescribeOption{alt} |alt|$=$\meta{alternate reading}\\
+% \DescribeOption{nordg} |nordg|$=$\verb+true|false+\\
+% This named argument does not need a value as it defaults to |true|
+% if it is used. |nordg| completely removes the variant reading from
+% the related entry in the apparatus criticus.\\
+% \DescribeOption{type} |type|$=$\meta{value}\\
+% \DescribeOption{pre} |pre|$=$\meta{words}\\
+% \DescribeOption{post} |post|$=$\meta{words}\\

+%
+% \paragraph{Notes}
+% \DescribeMacro{\note}\DescribeMacro{\note*}
+% \cs{note}\oarg{options}\marg{text} or
+% \cs{note*}\oarg{options}\marg{text}\\
+% It may happen that editorial notes be needed to record short
+% comments of general nature \emph{between} lemmata and
+% readings. \cs{note} inserts inline comments while \cs{note*} places
+% comments below the entire apparatus block. Furthermore, if
+% \pkg{ekdosis} has been loaded with the |parnotes| option as
+% described above \vpageref{ref:parnotes-opt}, \cs{note*} will use the
+% \pkg{parnotes} package to lay out the notes as an additional
+% paragraph below the apparatus criticus. The optional argument of
+% \cs{note}/\cs{note*} accepts the following comma-separated list of
+% \enquote{name$=$value}
+% arguments:---\\
+% \DescribeOption{pre} |pre|$=$\meta{words}\\
+% |pre| inserts \meta{words} immediately before the note.\\
+% \DescribeOption{post} |post|$=$\meta{words}\\
+% |post| inserts \meta{words} immediately after the note.\\
+%
+% \danger Under no circumstances is it permitted to insert the command
+% \cs{note} or \cs{note*} inside the argument of \cs{lem} or
+% \cs{rdg}. \cs{note}/\cs{note*} must go \emph{between} these
+% commands. As a general rule, within \cs{app}|{}| elements, notes
+% are inserted immediately \emph{after} the lemma or the variant
+% reading they are related to.

+% \section{Alignment of Parallel Texts}
+% \label{sec:alignment-basic}
+% As already said above,\footnote{See point
+% \vref{it:multicol-feature}.} \pkg{ekdosis} can arrange sundry texts
+% in parallel columns\---synchronized or not\---either on the same
+% page or on facing pages. Depending on what is needed, any text can
+% be equipped with an apparatus criticus. The most common example is
+% that of an edition of a classical text with an apparatus criticus
+% accompanied by a translation into a modern language on the facing
+% page. One can also imagine an edition of two classical texts or two
+% different recensions of the same text, each of which provides
+% variants recorded in separate apparatus crititus, laid out on the
+% left-hand pages, with one or more translations on the corresponding
+% right-hand pages, and so forth.
+%
+% \paragraph{The \env{alignment} Environment}
+% \DescribeEnv{alignment} \cs{begin}|{alignment}|\oarg{options}\dots
+% \cs{end}|{alignment}|\\
+% This environment can be used as it is provided to typeset a standard
+% critical edition, namely an edition text, equipped with an apparatus
+% criticus and laid out on the left-hand pages, accompanied by a
+% translation into a modern language on the facing pages.
+%
+% \DescribeEnv{edition}\DescribeEnv{translation} Within
+% \env{alignment}, two environments are available by default:
+% \cs{begin}|{edition}|\dots \cs{end}|{ed|\allowbreak|ition}| and
+% \cs{begin}|{translation}|\dots \cs{end}|{translation}|. Obviously,
+% the former is used to typeset the edition text with an apparatus

+% \DescribeEnv{edition*}\DescribeEnv{translation*} Furthermore,
+% so-called \enquote{starred} versions of these environments can be
+% used at any point to synchronize texts, that is to print them in
+% such a way that the tops of all paragraphs are vertically
+% aligned. To that effect, it must be noted that merely applying this
+% command on a single environment\---for instance the leftmost
+% one\---will have all other associated paragraphs printed aligned.
+%
+% \danger While the whole edition text and the whole translation can
+% be inserted in a single \env{edition}/\env{translation} environment
+% respectively, it is recommended to enter both texts paragraph by
+% paragraph as shown in the example above. Not only this method of
+% encoding allows not to lose sight of paragraphs that are meant to be
+% read together, but it is also the only way to align paragraphs in
+% print, and it is much more suitable to mark up correspondence
+% between spans of texts as will be demonstrated below in
+% \vref{ref:segmentation}.

+% manuscripts and manuscript families above

+% \begin{remarks}
+% \item As can be seen from the apparatus entry related to l.~4 above,
+%   a subvariant has been inserted in the lemma part: \enquote{(aut et
+%   \getsiglum{cA1})}. This was done by using |alt| in
+%   \vref{lst:caesar-bg}, l.~9. But as this variant is already
+%   recorded\---and printed\---in the lemma part, it was necessary to
+%   remove the entire otherwise redundant variant from the apparatus
+%   criticus in print. Hence the use of |nordg| at l.~11.
+% \item For examples of abbreviations, see ll.~6 and 17.
+% \item Line~17 shows how mss.\ T and U (which belong to two distinct
+%   subfamilies) have been separated from one another: %
+%   \verb*+wit={T, U}+. See above \vpageref{ref:mss-sep-families} for
+%   more information on this technique.
