Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the verbatim passage a gmeow:Selector anchors on — the durable, re-locatable form of a pinpoint that survives re-pagination of the cited work.

Avoid when

• Avoid paraphrasing here (the quote must be verbatim) and avoid using it as the offset (that is gmeow:selectorTextPosition); language-tag the literal where the source language is known.

How to use

• Set gmeow:selectorTextQuote on a gmeow:Selector to the verbatim string, language-tagged; pair with gmeow:selectorTextPosition or gmeow:selectorPage to anchor it precisely.

Examples

• ex:span gmeow:selectorTextQuote "born the third day of March"@en.
