====Choice tag====

The {{mono|choice}} tag is used to represent sections of text that might be encoded or tagged in more than one possible way. In the following example, based on one in the standard, {{mono|choice}} is used twice, once to indicate an original and a corrected number, and once to indicate an original and regularised spelling.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-choice.html |title=TEI element choice |work=tei-c.org |year=2012 |access-date=15 April 2012}}</ref>
