SGML to TEI
Posted by jtakeda on 07 Jun 2017 in Activity log
More work done on the SGML to TEI conversion. Prose and verse seem to be being handled well and the creation of the
listPers in the particDesc seems right as well.
I began looking at the code mapping for ligatures and other special characters. Not sure what exactly needs to happen there. Created a bash script that looks through the IML files to investigate how often that character is used; I couldn't use XSLT or anything like that since the ampersands, etc, are difficult to search with for text. I now have a script that lists the characters by number of use. It needs to be finished, however, so that we can see which files contain these characters and how we should work with them.
