2. Command line searches can be used for highly complex searches but require an understanding of underlying structural tagging. The accompanying manual provides detailed information about the tags used to encode the texts and gives helpful examples of the complex uses to which they might be put in command line searches. However, the manual's authors forgot to name the abbreviations used in connection with the 'edition' attribute so that the term "edn=xxx" might be employed within command line searches. Chadwyck-Healey's technical support service responded rapidly (under 2 hours) to a telephone enquiry about the abbreviations--an enquiry made without revealing that the caller was conducting a review--and supplied this list:
The values for the "edn=" attribute are:
adapt
apoc
Bell
Capell
Clark
Collier
First Printing
Folio
Johnson
Malone
Pope
Rowe
Steevens
Theobald
Warburton
