13roelli 11.1 1 During [[collation>>doc:stemmatology.Collation.WebHome]] it may be useful to align the text of several or all witnesses, that is to write their text in a [[txt-document>>doc:stemmatology.Data formats.WebHome]] with spaces so that the parts corresponding to one another are below one another. Compare the illustration below. Alternatively many editors use [[spread-sheets>>doc:stemmatology.Data formats.WebHome]] containing one word per cell to align their collations. There are software programs able to perform this task quite well today.
