Paul Eggert, Text-encoding, Theories of the Text, and the ‘Work-Site’
, Literary and Linguistic Computing, Volume 20, Issue 4, November 2005, Pages 425–435, https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqi0501 The thinking in this study has been stimulated by countless conversations with my collaborators in the successive Just In Time Markup (JITM) projects at the Australian Scholarly Editions Centre, Phill Berrie (the programmer), Graham Barwell (University of Wollongong), and Chris Tiffin (University of Queensland); and by, if anything, even more conversations on editorial theory and textual computing with Peter Shillingsburg and, to a lesser extent, with Peter Robinson (both, De Montfort University, Leicester), who generously allowed me to read unpublished work of theirs.

Abstract
This essay emerges from the recent debates in editorial theory and, on the practical level, from a project for producing electronic scholarly editions. It reflects on the nature of text, explores the implications for text encoding in relation to recent debate, and outlines a methodology using stand-off markup within which text encoding can respond to the theoretically enunciated problems.
