6.15 Font
6.15.1 SGML
Except for the type attribute, SGML uses the same tag as COCOA here. TEI P3 recommends that font be recorded only in the rendition attribute of a descriptive tag and that, where editors wish to tag font changes as such, they use tags such as <emph>, <hi>, and <soCalled> (see pp. 955-56, 1013-14, 1155). Applying these to early texts asks for interpretation of a kind an editor may be unable to make.
