`<note>` | contains a note or annotation.

Attributes:

`n` | (number or symbol) indicates the symbol or number used to mark the note's point of attachment to the main text.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string of characters
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

    Mevorakh b. Saadya's mother, the matriarch of the family
    during the second half of the eleventh century,
       <note n=126>
            The alleged mention of Judah Nagid's mother
            in a letter from 1071 is, in fact, a
            reference to Judah's children; cf. above,
            nn. 111 and 54.
       </note>
    is well known from Geniza documents published by Jacob Mann.

Note | If notes are numbered in sequence and their numbering can be reconstructed automatically by processing software, it may not be considered necessary to record the note numbers.

`type` | describes the type of note.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Values can be taken from any convenient typology of annotation suitable to the work in hand; e.g. annotation, gloss, citation, digression, preliminary, temporary, ...
| Default: #IMPLIED
`resp` | (responsible) indicates who is responsible for the annotation: author, editor, translator, etc.
| Datatype: CDATA

Legal values:

`auth[or]` | note originated with the author of the text.
`ed[itor]` | note added by the editor of the text.
`comp[iler]` | note added by the compiler of a collection.
`tr[anslator]` | note added by the translator of a text.
`transcr[iber]` | note added by the transcriber of a text into electronic form.
`(initials)` | note added by the individual indicated by the initials.

| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | For specialized types of editorial annotation (e.g. for marking corrections, normalizations, cruxes, etc.), see chapter 19 .
`place` | indicates where the note appears in the source text.
| Datatype: CDATA

Legal values:

`foot` | note appears at foot of page.
`end` | note appears at end of chapter or volume.
`inline` | note appears as a marked paragraph in the body of the text.
`left` | note appears in left margin.
`right` | note appears in right margin.
`interlinear` | note appears between lines of the text.
`app[aratus]` | note appears in the apparatus at the foot of the page.

| Default: 'unspecified'

Example:

Note | For pages with multiple apparatus, values such as app1 and app2 can be used. The `place` attribute can be used to indicate to text formatting software where a note should be printed. If the locations indicated do not agree with those in the copy text, that fact should be indicated in the TEI header.
`anchored` | indicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
| Datatype: (yes | no)

Legal values:

`yes` | copy text indicates the place of attachment for the note.
`no` | copy text indicates no place of attachment for the note.

| Default: yes

Note

In modern texts, notes are usually anchored by means of explicit footnote or endnote symbols. An explicit indication of the phrase or line annotated may however be used instead (e.g. ``page 218, lines 3-4''). The `anchored` attribute indicates whether any explicit location is given, whether by symbol or by prose cross-reference. If the specific symbols used are to be recorded, use the `n` attribute.

`target` | indicates the point of attachment of a note, or the beginning of the span to which the note is attached.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: reference to the `id` s of element(s) which begin at the location in question (e.g. the `id` of an `<anchor>` element).
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | If `target` and `targetEnd` are to be used to indicate where notes attach to the text, then elements at the appropriate locations (`<anchor>` elements if necessary) must be given `id` values to be pointed at.
`targetEnd` | points to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: reference to the `id` (s) of element(s) which end at the location(s) in question, or to an empty element at the point in question.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

        word has, in the German, two distinct meanings, one
        objective, a quality residing in the object, the
        other subjective, a mode of apprehension and creation.
        To avoid confusion, they have been distinguished in
        English as <mentioned>picturesque</> and
        <mentioned>painterly</> respectively.  (Tr.)</note>
    style of the Dutch genre painters of the seventeenth
    century that drapery has this psychological significance.
