Got two new collation files from Cara, for LDev003 and LDev004, and began tweaking the Apparatus application code to handle the new setup:

• Added clauses to detect if the new line number encoding is being used instead of the old. The app can now handle both <l n="1"> and <l 1>.
• Added some parsing to find the square brackets used instead of angle brackets for TEI tags. This is slightly complicated, because a closing square bracket is also used to delimit the end of the lemma, so the code only converts paired square brackets, leaving the orphan delimiter intact.
• Noticed that [sd][/sd], which is not a TEI tag, appears in the data. Karin tells me it's a substitute for <>, meaning scribal deletion, which causes problems in Collate. Added code to convert that back to l>>.
• Commented out code previously added to replace substitutions for square brackets ($ and _), since these are no longer being used, and the underscore causes problems because it's used in witness filenames.
• Added linebreaks and indents to format the output more readably.

Having got the app working, I saved two output files and sent them to Cara so she can check them out and add the type="substantive"<rdg> tags) where appropriate (the default will be orthographic, since it's more numerous). Once that's done, I can start writing rendering code.
