Reminders for MH:

1) Please look at the following in the Forest Nuptiale:

<div>
<argument rend="float: left; margin-left: -6em; text-align: left;">
<ab rend="font-style: italic; font-size: 80%; text-align: left;">Ordre<lb/>
& ſuite <lb/>
de ce trai<lb/>
té.</ab>
</argument>
<p rend="margin-top: 0; text-indent: 0;">

(lines 537-543 in the XML)

For some reason, the argument above does not render as text-align: left in the web version even though I've encoded the text as so. However, when you look at all the other arguments online like the one below, the text is left-aligned.

<div>
<argument rend="float: left; margin-left: -5em;"><ab rend="font-style: italic;">Equipa-<lb/>
            ge de la<lb/> 
            nouuelle<lb/>
            mariee<lb/>
            Romai-<lb/>
            ne & la<lb/> 
            ſignifica<lb/>
            tion de <lb/>
            chacune<lb/>
            de ces <lb/>
            particu-<lb/>
            laritez.<lb/></ab></argument>
<p rend="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0;">

(lines 823-836 in teh XML)

Another problem I encountered with the arguments in the FN, is that even though I encoded the paragraph following the argument as text-indent: 0, a text indent still appears on the web version.

2)Please also look at the following in the Sonnet 1609. For some reason, the link below is not retrieving online:

<ref target="../../back_matter/biblio/biblio.xml#daumas_2007">Daumas, Maurice, <title level="m">Au Bonheur des mâles</title>, p. 103-128.</ref>

EDIT by MDH 2011-12-22: Implemented as documented in this post. Setting to Completed.

In working on the Forest nuptiale, I've noticed an interesting issue that we may need to spend some serious time working through:

After the "Avant-propos" and a sonnet dedicated to the reader from the author, we come to a "Catalogue des autheurs desquels on a tiré ce discours" page that lists all the authors that inspired this work. The first one, "Agathie" has a drop-cap "A". The list is in two columns.

In her encoding of the list, emurphy used a <list type="simple">; each name was made an <item>. She also attempted to make a column break by using a <cb/>.

emurphy has used this same format for the "Tables des chapitres" that occurs on the page following the "Catalogue des autheurs". In the "Tables des chapitres", there are also two columns, and the first item in the left column, "Romains", has a drop-cap.

Please let me know if you need any more details :)

Further to my last email, these are the files that need to be updated because they contain the old <note type="link">.

Image files:

• agresseure
• balance
• bonheur_des_uns
• chat
• corrige_si_tu_peux
• invention_femmes_1
• invention_femmes_2
• grande_destruction
• le_bon_menage
• martires
• massacre_lagniet
• massacre_larmessin
• operateur_cephalique

Text documents:

• advis_salutaire
• purgatoire
• reconfort_des_femmes

After discussion with CC, we've decided to move to one centralized bibliography, containing all items. Articles etc. will link to items in that bibliography, and any items referenced in an article will be retrieved with the article and listed at the bottom. This makes for more consistency.

In the course of site-wide link checking, I found that the hidden/revealed TOC introductions are for some reason included twice, resulting in duplicate content and ids. The Gallery page is an example. This needs to be fixed.

Fixed a couple of typos at CC's request in the Sonnet files, and in the process included her short descriptions of the texts, which go into <bibl> elements in the <sourceDesc>. This threw up a new problem. Up to now, these descriptive bits have been one-line plain text items, so the handling code is not expecting anything like titles or italicized text; these new descriptions include text titles that should be italicized. I've had to remove that from the content, until I can rewrite that code. Adding this as a task...

PG and LW are now comparing and proofing their markup, and as part of the process I've posted the Sonnet texts online. There are many display issues -- most are certainly caused by me (in other words, they're caused by my not having written the required display code for features of these texts which didn't appear in other texts). Some, though, might be due to markup issues, so the RAs can fix anything that's obvious as part of their proofing, and can also flag the other issues. Here are some I already know about, for the record:

• If you go to the 1609 text and search for "Mercure , penſé", you'll see that the following line, which has an <unclear> tag in the XML, just appears as if it were normal; in other words, nothing signals the "unclear" status of the text. This is my fault, because we hadn't used <unclear> before so I haven't written any handler for it.
• I'm displaying the folio page numbers when I shouldn't be -- only page numbers in <fw> tags should be displayed, not those in <pb/>s.

Including this as a task, so I remember to get around to working on these specific items.

Meeting with the whole team. Got H started marking up a text document.

The new document, Sermon des Cocus, has an <epigraph>, containing a <cit> with <quote> and <bibl>, and also a <gloss>. We need to add handling for this to the XSLT code.

Also, there are now instances of <head>, <p> and <l> which have a rend attribute expressed in CSS:

  <p rend="text-indent: 3em;">...</p>
  <head rend="text-align: center;">...</head>

We need to detect the use of CSS in a rend tag, and transfer it to the output XHTML tag. So far only text-indent and text-align have been used.

There's a block of metadata dated Sept 24 waiting to be used to create new markup sets for Helena to work on.

Claire has supplied new short titles for the image files we've processed in the last few days. Add those titles to the files.
