Meeting about output of critical apparatus
Posted by mholmes on 27 Jun 2007 in Activity log, Tasks
Met with the ETCL folks, and got the following requests for fixes/changes/new features in the critical apparatus output:
- Sigla in the crit app should be clickable, leading to (or popping up) a proper MS description. This will be based on a mapping XML file for all the witnesses which Karin will supply.
- All readings from the same line should be displayed (initially at least) in one block, separated by a space 5ems wide, to conform with traditional practice. This should be switchable, though, because we have no space limitations and can give readers the option to see each item on a separate line if they wish.
- The user should be able to switch on orthographic variants, which are currently invisible.
- Instead of the word "Omitted", we should use "omit." in italics.
- Clicking on the line number should pop up a copy of the base text line, with the lemma highlighted (if possible -- this might be done with JavaScript).
- Karin needs to be a user in the DB, with permissions on the Devonshire collections, so she can upload apparatus files while I'm away.
Adding this as a task.
