The exercise involves encoding Catullus 1 as LDLT XML. There is a plain text copy of the text, apparatus testium, and apparatus criticus from Thomson's 2003 edition, as well as a PDF copy of the text with the stemma, sources, and sigla. You may also wish to refer to Catullus Online, a digital repertory of the text.
Start by creating a structure for the poem. You'll have to decide what structural elements you want to use. You should be able to (mostly) just copy and paste the plain text version into the XML and wrap it in the appropriate elements. Then, start encoding the apparatus entries as outlined in the LDLT Guidelines.
