Deleted Text (in Correction) with Gap of Ranged Extent

A gap added by a later ancient hand whose extent is expressed as a plausible numeric range contained in the deleted text of an ancient correction.

Syntax

The notation for a gap of ranged extent followed by an equal sign and a greater-than sign forming a => arrow, then by the added text notation, all enclosed between plus signs +…+. Optional metadata can be written before the final + delimiter.

Overview

• ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = the relevant gap notation.
• ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
• γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
• ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
• ¤ᵟ = optional annotations (metadata) supported by Correction (cf. Ancient Corrections).

See Ancient Corrections for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.
