Example
<p>Paragraph partially damaged. This is the undamaged
portion <damageSpan spanTo="#a34"/>and this the damaged
portion of the paragraph.</p>
<p>This paragraph is entirely damaged.</p>
<p>Paragraph partially damaged; in the middle of this
paragraph the damage ends and the anchor point marks
the start of the <anchor xml:id="a34"/> undamaged part of the text. ...</p>
Note
Both the beginning and ending of the damaged sequence must be marked: the beginning by the damageSpan element, the ending by the target of the spanTo attribute: if no other element available, the anchor element may be used for this purpose.
The damaged text must be at least partially legible, in order for the encoder to be able to transcribe it. If it is not legible at all, the damageSpan element should not be used. Rather, the gap or unclear element should be employed, with the value of the reason attribute giving the cause. See further sections 11.3.3.1 Damage, Illegibility, and Supplied Text and 11.3.3.2 Use of the gap, del, damage, unclear, and supplied Elements in Combination.
