For our approach to the encoding, we chose not to stray from the standard CBML markup style, as its segmentation was efficient and satisfying to work with. Something that was an issue was how we chose to encode certain types of special text, like when text would show up in big blue letters, or white letters on a red background. In our XML code, we put descriptions of those special texts in an 'emph' element, with a 'rend' attribute that described the texts' appearence. But when it came to transforming our XML with XSLT, it was too bothersome to transfrom every unique instance of '//emph/@rend', so many instances were left by the wayside. Some were deemed important enough to preserve, though. For instance, in the Sonic Letters Zone pages, certain images have captions with artist attribution, which we indicated with 'emph' elements with 'rend' attributes with a value of "white text on red background". It'd be pretty bothersome to transform that with XSLT, so we didn't! In Issue 3, two characters named Rough and Tumble appear, and they'll use orange text for emphasis. We indicated this with a 'rend' attribute with a value of 'orange text', something much simpler and easier to transform into a 'span' element with XSLT with a class we can use to decorate it with in our CSS file.
