Editorial and marginal notes now working with markup
Posted by mholmes on 24 Oct 2011 in Activity log
I've re-written the handling of editorial and marginal notes so that notes are now fully rendered, meaning that markup inside them is processed, and they're displayed in the margin like bibliographical entries. This means they have clickable names, italicized titles, etc. The process for doing this is somewhat convoluted, because of the way documents are processed in fragments with XSLT during the XQuery processing; essentially a second copy of each note is created, and placed in a list at the end of the document, and then those copies are processed during rendering, but kept hidden; the clickable note marker in the text then links to those.
