Square brackets: containing well-formed fragments

[gbodard]

See for example p.berl.leihg.2.42B line 2: <expan>[ὁμ<ex>οίως</ex>]</expan>

The XML between the [ and ] is well-formed, and so the square brackets can be converted to <supplied reason="lost">...</supplied> without any further fixing in advance. (These fragments generally survive because there is another problem with square brackets in the same file.)

In the case of <expan>[...]</expan> in particular, when there is nothing before the first square bracket nor after the second one, then the <supplied> element should ideally appear *outside* the <expan>, as follows:

<supplied reason="lost"><expan>ὁμ<ex>οίως</ex></expan></supplied>
