Renderings

• Render elements consistently so that the same element is always rendered the same way.
• Make background color white.
• Give the hierarchically lower elements precedence over the higher ones: a date within a stencil is displayed as a date, not as a stencil. Obvious, I know.

• Use stand-alone display attributes on <HI> elements:
  • Display <hi rend="i"> as underline (black text)
  • Display <hi rend="b"> as bold (black text)

• Use bright reddish colors for small compact elements (and superscript title):
  • Display <usg> as magenta (#FF33FF).
  • Display <date> as red (#FF0033).
  • Display <orth> as orange (#FF6600)
  • Display <title> as ^purple (#990099)

• Use bright bluish/greenish colors for medium-sized elements:
  • Display <stncl> as blue (#0000FF)
  • Display <bibl> as green (#33CC00)

• Use pale grayish colors for large diffuse elements:
  • Display <def> as pale blue (#66CCFF)
  • Display <form> as gray (#999999)
  • Display <etym> as pale green (#99CC99)
  • Display <q> as pale brown (#CC9966) and precede it with a colon (:)

• Perhaps, mark placement of tags for some items (like "title") with vertical bars, inverted exclamation marks, or the like.
• Perhaps, mark whitespace characters (space, tab, ?newline) with° degree° signs (&deg;).
• (both of these options exemplified below)
