As Ronan pointed out, this could be good for passages such as:

<lb n="010239"/><said>--</said><emph>And no more turn aside and brood
<lb n="010240"/>Upon love's bitter mystery
<lb n="010241"/>For Fergus rules the brazen cars.</emph></p>

I’m playing around in ‘Nestor’ and finding a lot of <emph> going to <quote>. For example:

<lb n="020101"/><said>--</said>This is the riddle, Stephen said:</p>
<p rend="inset"><lb n="020102"/><quote source="Riddle of the Fox">The cock crew,
<lb n="020103"/>The sky was blue:
<lb n="020104"/>The bells in heaven
<lb n="020105"/>Were striking eleven.
<lb n="020106"/>'Tis time for this poor soul
<lb n="020107"/>To go to heaven.</quote></p>

Considering how often this riddle will return later in the book, is it possible to maintain a list of all @source values within the GitHub environment?

I’m also wondering if the attribute on <p rend="inset"> isn’t redundant?

Great idea. I wonder whether we can put a list of these in the header, assign them XML IDs, and then refer to the IDs in the text. Something like:

<quote source="#riddle">The cock crew,...</quote>

and in the header there could be something like:

<source xml:id="riddle">Riddle of the Fox</source>

or if there were an explicit bibliographic source, (which might not actually be the case with this one, but just as an example):

<bibl xml:id="riddle">
<author>P.W. Joyce</author> 
<title level="a">The Riddle of the Fox</title>
<title level="m">English as We Speak it In Ireland</title>
...
</bibl>

Hi, @Brymmobaggins! Let me know if you have any questions related to this one. I'd imagine that many of these are already done, but that you can find more quotations by looking through Gifford's Ulysses Annotated, among other sources.
