IMT 1.8 TEI file i/o fully working, and docbook half done
Posted by mholmes on 18 Sep 2008 in Activity log
I got the version 1.8 file i/o completed and tested, so the new "transcriptional" feature is correctly saving and loading, and dictating the use of @facs or @corresp. Then I started working on the DocBook export/import. I'm mapping the new <desc> element in the <rendition> element (the annotation category data) to a tag like this in the equivalent docbook <member> element:
<property role="transcriptional">true</property>
For speed and simplicity, I'm also storing, for each individual annotation <div> in TEI, an @remap attribute (remap="facs", or remap="corresp") on the db <callout> element.
Next, I need to:
- Update the docbook-to-imt file accordingly, so round-tripping works
- Rewrite the Help/docs XSLT to take account of the new format.
- Convert all the IMT documentation files to 1.8, then to the new docbook format.
- Update the screenshot for the annotation category list, and the category editor screen.
- Update other Help file and tutorial stuff to explain the new boolean/checkbox.
