 # Changes of the Intermediate Format
   - note: All changes are done (not quite right) in the tei-namespace!
 
-## "editorialNotes Section" 
+## "editorialNotes section"
   - Section as last child of tei:TEI where all note[@type="editorial"] are collected during the preprocessing. Every note[@type="editorial"] is thus ignored in its original context
 
 ## "aligned"
   - new element; all tei:hi[@rend ="right-aligned" or @rend="center-aligned"] are converted to aligned[@rend ="right-aligned" or @rend="center-aligned"]
-  - name: "aligned", 
+  - name: "aligned",
   - attributes: same as tei:hi in original data
 
 ## "seg[@type='item' or @type='head' or @type='row']" vs tei:item or tei:head or tei:row
   - conversion of seg[@type='item' or @type=''head or @type='row'] into tei:item or tei:head or tei:row
 
 ## "rdgMarker"
-  - new element representing Siglae
+  - new element representing scribal abbreviations (sigla)
   - name: "rdgMarker"
-  - attributes: @wit(Witness without '#'), @ref(Reference to @id of tei:lem or tei:rdg without '#'), @type(same as tei:rdg), @mark('open' or 'close'), @context(Context of the Marker - "rdg" or "lem")

+  - new attribute: @break="no" (In cases a tei:pb is directly preceeded or followed by a character not self whitespace)
 
 ## text() and whitespace
-  - All whitespaces in text() are replaced by NON-BREAKING SPACE (U+00A0, &#160) to save whitespace during the processing
+  - All whitespaces in text() are replaced by @ to save whitespace during the processing
