Much progress with Sonnet documents
Posted by mholmes on 17 Apr 2009 in Activity log
Spent a lot of time tweaking XSLT and the markup of the Sonnet documents to get some output which is reader-friendly and represents the original texts somewhat. This is what I've done:
- Fixed many inconsistencies in the 1621 markup, where older markup formulations had been used instead of the ones we later settled on. This included lots of fixes for
<fw>
tags to make them consistent with the 1609, and with the Amboise texts. - Added basic layout information to the heads of both Sonnet files to set page sizes etc. This will need more tweaking, though.
- Fixed some font sizing issues in the running headers in 1621. The headers in 1609 still look too small, but I need to check against the Amboise, which is the standard, to make sure I'm handling them correctly in the 1621 before I move on to the 1609.
- Fixed a distracting background colour for the
<unclear>
tag output. - Added a comment ("KTO", for "Keep Tag Open") inside XHTML
<div>
s which occasionally end up empty in the output, otherwise the Cocoon serializer self-closes them, which screws up Firefox's DOM and makes the layout a mess. - Pushed copies up onto the SAN so the editors will start from my fixed versions, and uploaded them into the db for testing.
