I've sent in a request to dispose of a bunch of old equipment:
4 AOpen computers - the last of the old lab machines
One of the old CRT televisions
Sony Remote Commander - from Lab B
Sanyo digital projector - non-functional
Sharp VCR - from Lab B. Works, but not well
sundry computer parts (DVD-ROM drive, keyboard etc.)
Also moved a bunch of spare monitors and other bits and pieces to get them out of the way.
This took a little while -- partly because I haven't written any PHP in a while and I couldn't remember obvious things. Points of interest:
<br /> tag at the end, which I have to strip off.cursor: hand; lines) and missing generic font-family values.cURL; I tried setting allow_url_fopen through a php.ini file but that doesn't seem to work on web.uvic.ca. cURL is a perfectly good alternative.Wrote to SB and LB to get their approval on the page display; once they're happy, I can add the new events page, and add the same code to the home page to display 5 events.
Hi Martin,
I did some changes on a few document most of them are typos:
"argent fait tout" called balance in the Image markup tool
Bourse offerte par la père à la mère
change for le père
Le coffre à trésor
change for au trésor
présage malheureux called agressur in the image markup tool:
change the title présage malheurex for malheureux

I'm on late duty today.
Editorial note anchors (numbers) are no longer floated to the right of the poem; this takes them too far out of context, and sometimes wraps them to another line, which is not good, and also it prevents proper display of anything when an editorial note is embedded in a scribal note (an "annotation"). Scribal notes are now positioned correctly as far as I can tell, and should work OK by and large, although there's not necessarily always enough space for them in the margins, and some can never be handled adequately (such as the one which is "vertical(ascending)".
A couple of titles were missing from the index page, and the contents of the last "poem" (an excerpt) were not showing up. This was because the XSLT was looking for a title[@type='incipit']; it now uses any title element it finds if there's nothing matching that. The body of this excerpt is les than a line, so it was wrapped in an <ab> tag rather than <lg> or <l>; I'm now handling <ab> elements in the XSLT too.
I've completed the build on the new lab machines and will set them up in Lab C this afternoon.
There's a wide variety of distinct values for @rend attributes. Some of these are combined, and many overlap between <l> and <seg> tags. I've taken a shot at providing some kind of decent rendering for most of the ones that can be rendered meaningfully; some which can't are ignored, and still others are awaiting conversion or normalization to another form of markup.
This was another empty-span-tag issue, caused by the combination of Cocoon and Firefox. Cocoon spits out empty tags as self-closing tags (which is wrong according to W3C guidelines), and Firefox screws up rendering when it encounters a self-closing tag which can have content, such as <span/> (which is annoying but at least draws our attention to the problem). In the case of this error, the empty span tags were caused by lines which have no number (i.e. no @n attribute), because they're in some way a refrain or a tagline that shouldn't be numbered. Fixed this by adding non-breaking spaces where there are no line numbers.
With Dave W.'s help, finally figured out the problem with the .htaccess file. My file was created in Notepad++, which put a UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of it. Doh.
