Mariage

Minor issues.

The references list is now divided into alphabetical groups by first letter, and there is a list of the letters at the top of the page which you can click on to jump to the appropriate place in the file.

EDIT: SEE COMMENTS BY MH BELOW.

Working on the varin.xml, I discovered a problem when trying to use <cit type="blockquote"><quote type="noMarks">. Although the document validated, it caused an error when trying to view the XSLT. The error was related to XML lines 3218 to 3226 (/TEI/text[1]/body[1]/div[35]/p[4]/cit[1]/quote[1]). I tried to fix the error by changing <cit type="blockquote" rend="margin: 0"><quote type="noMarks"><foreign xml:lang="la"> to simply <cit type="blockquote"><quote><foreign xml:lang="la">, however, this displayed "guillemets" around the quoted text. I ended up having to use <cit type="blockquote" rend="margin: 0"><quote type="italics"><foreign xml:lang="la"> to fix the error and make the text display properly without "guillemets" and only in italics.

MH will probably need to do some more tweaking of block quote handlers.

Investigation by MH

I think this issue arises out of a basic misunderstanding. The handling for blockquotes depends on <cit type="block">, NOT type="blockquote". If you use <cit type="block">, then no quotes (guillemets) will be applied anyway; by default, blockquotes do not have quotation marks. In fact, the @type attribute on the <quote> element is ignored in the case of <cit type="block">.

So if the objective is to have an italicized blockquote, with the italicization due to its being in a foreign language, you can do this:

<cit type="block" rend="margin: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><quote><foreign xml:lang="la">
    I’ay pour le dot beaucoup d’argent receu,<lb/>
    Et mon pouuoir ce faiſant i’ay vendu.</foreign></quote></cit>

There are 24 instances of the erroneous cit type="blockquote" in the following documents: forest_nuptiale, sonnet_1609, and varin. There are 14 instances of the correct formulation, <cit type="block">, which occur in sonnet_1609 and varin. I think we need to look at all the erroneous ones and fix them, making any other adjustments required to make them display properly.

We want A through Z links at the top of the Index page, and anchors at the beginning of each letter segment in the page. This would be useful because searching is hard due to spelling anomalies.

I found a way to automate the addition of @xml:id attributes where these are required because of linking from the TOC, so that's been done in Le Bon Mariage, Le Blanc and Ville-Thierry.

Started working on rendering of TOC code, as described here. These are the changes I've made:

• I made substantial edits to Le Bon Mariage, Ville-Thierry and Le Blanc to fix minor inconsistencies and missing attributes.
• I added a special handler for <ref type="pageNum"> which processes a TOC page number into a link to the <fw> containing that page number. Note, though, that none of the <fw> tags in question actually has an @xml:id attribute yet, with the exception of one that I added to Le Bon Mariage for testing. I'll probably try to automate the addition of those attributes.
• I added an appropriate CSS ruleset for the page numbers.

Basically everything seems to be working, although the page width of the Ville-Thierry is still wrong; I need to work on that a little. But someone else will take over the markup of that document at some point, so it could be left to them.
