XSLT to update document structure

Posted by on 27 Feb 2008 in Activity log

Carried out the following changes in consultation with KA and MC, through an XSLT transformation, to bring the document into conformance with the current status of TEI P5:

Created a new <msDesc> element in <sourceDesc>, with minimal required children, to provide a location for <handDesc>.
Converted old <handList> to <handDesc> in sourceDesc/msDesc/physDesc, and all child <hand> elements to handNote.
Converted space/@extent to @quantity.
Converted normalize/@method='tag' to 'markup'.
Converted add/@rend to @type.
Fixed parentheses not allowed in g/@type, by replacing them with underscores.
Converted <num> elements with @type attributes pointing to folios to <ref> elements with @target attributes pointing via XPath at the relevant <pb> tag.
Added a <revisionDesc> list item to describe these changes.
