Preparation for the launch...

Lots of final tweaking, and a rebuild of the portable ColDesp, with the latest revisions to documents included. We've installed and tested it on GN's laptop as well.

Update in Advance of the Colonial Letters' Launch

I have cleaned things up as much as possible in the time allowed. I will prepare a brief report of where things stand, and discuss this at the wrap meeting on the 23rd.

Fix for vessel name formatting, and a bug to be fixed

KSW reported that vessel names are not italicized inside vessel bios, which turned out to be caused by the fact that we don't process vessel name tags unless they have @keys; @keys will be added. I also tweaked the CSS so that such names are italicized automatically when they're in the vessel bio context, but not in the context of the main documents, where we shouldn't alter the text style.

There's one oddity in the vessel bio page, which is that when you click on the name of a vessel from inside another vessel's bio, the clicked-on vessel's bio appears as a popup; but in that process, it's extracted from the main list, and is never replaced in it when you close the popup, causing it to disappear from the list. That's obviously a bad idea. I'll be working on it.

Colonial Despatches

The Colonial Despatches is an XML database project which is creating a digital archive containing the original correspondence between the British Colonial Office and the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. The project lives at http://bcgenesis.uvic.ca, and the web application runs on the Pear dev Tomcat. The XML data is managed in SVN at http://revision.tapor.uvic.ca/svn/coldesp/.
