Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record a structural or domain locator a gmeow:Selector pinpoints when neither a page nor a character offset fits — a section, figure, image, table, or register entry.

Avoid when

• Avoid it where a page (gmeow:selectorPage) or character offset (gmeow:selectorTextPosition) is the natural anchor, and avoid overloading it to smuggle a verbatim quote — use gmeow:selectorTextQuote.

How to use

• Set gmeow:selectorLocator on a gmeow:Selector to the structural locator string; combine with gmeow:selectorTextQuote when the passage must also be verifiable.

Examples

• ex:loc gmeow:selectorLocator "entry 17".
