Testing the updates on the site, I found that the annotation menus weren't appearing for three files:
bon_menage.xmlcoquette.xmlinvention_des_femmes_1.xml
On further investigation, I discovered that these files had empty annotations (annotations which contained nothing at all, or which had only titles and no content). I fixed this by deleting those which had nothing at all in them, and adding a non-breaking space to those which had a title but no content.
Validated and uploaded all edited files into eXist.
Finished these files:
besace.xmlil_nest_pas_maistre.xmlmye_des_femmes.xml
Updated the server archives, and downloaded files recently edited by the team. Validated them and found a missing <p> tag in femme_a_plaindre.xml, which I fixed and replaced on the server.
There are five more files to prepare in the new batch.

Just a little update of what I've been up to:
I've finished the transcriptions of the xml files prepared up until now. I am noting interesting objects, gestures, vocabulary as I go, but I don't feel equipped to comment on much yet. I've also got my hands on a little bit of literature on marriage in the ancien regime, to give myself a little context.

Completed the image and XML setup for five more files, taking me to the end of the document Engravings_metadata_24_09_07.doc. The following files are now ready for markup with the IMT:
savetier.xmlcorne_jenins.xmlquand_avec_5.xmlfemme_a_plaindre.xmll'estocade.xml
There are 13 more images to complete, with the relevant metadata contained in Engravings_metadata_29_09_07.doc.

I've put some time in to a new design for the site that incorporates a gallery. It's nearly ready to be critiqued.
