Index now split into medical and nominal
Posted by mholmes on 01 Nov 2011 in Activity log
The original References page has now been split into two indexes, "Noms propres" and "Terminologie médicale". These were the required changes:
- LSPW split off the medical items into a separate file called botanical.xml, also in the references subcollection.
- The XQuery now looks for a parameter called "index", and if it's set to "med", uses the botanical.xml file; if it's set to "nom" uses the regular references.xml file; and otherwise collects all the references. It includes the parameter in its XML output in the form of an
@subtype
attribute on the parent<list>
element that contains the reference<item>
s. - The XSLT checks the
@subtype
parameter and retrieves the appropriate page title and introductory text for the reference list. - The original Index menu item has been split into two.
There is currently no way to retrieve the full page with all references from a menu item or a link, although of course it's still there at its original location. Should we include a link on each of the reference pages enabling the user to see the complete merged list? If so, what should it say?
