    Dear colleagues,

    Could anyone give advice as to how headers that occur within sentences are generally represented in XML (TEI.2)? I'm presently annotating a corpus of historical German newspaper texts from 17th century, where article headers are often integrated in a sentence starting in the previous paragraph/article. Hope you can make sense of the following example.

    (previous article ending with)."Gemeldte Unterthanen haben eine desto grössere Unlust gegen die Krohne Franckreich. Von
          Cölln (header)
    schreibet man, daß der Cardinal Fürstenberg auf der Reise/ nach Cölln kommen solle." (=first sentence of new article)

    I'd appreciate any kind of help. My XML-editor (Exchanger) does allow me to put headers within sentences but I'd like to know whether this is common practice.

    All the best,

    Astrid
