XPath and regex fest to find a sets of examples from our documents to illustrate style rules for the contributor notes. I think it now has enough good examples.

On late duty.
I've started on the XQuery to process the search page, and it's coming along. Builds are taking a long time for testing purposes, though. Must add a few more variant targets that do subsets of the work quickly.
Moved from 9.8-10.5. There are a lot of errors in "places" that I need to figure out. Moving through five parts at a time with editing, circling back for additions or corrections to places, people or orgs and then finally creating events. I am hoping this will be the most effective way to ensure minimal oversight.
Hours: 2:30- 4:30 (2)
Our date-processing code links to a currently non-existent page called dates.htm, which purports to provide "Further information on how we encode, translate, and process dates." This needs to be written soon.
Per PAB, added a new caption to the search results pages.
At HT's request, added a new pic and caption to Sayers article.
Worked on the build process and the controller file. No search yet, but everything else is working as far as I can see. Next step is the search.
Awaiting reply from PGL re site. In the meantime I'm updating the pre-prod site with current content I noticed on the existing site.
Edited: home page, membership index, newsletters index, uploaded new pdfs; re-published pages
In xpath/xquery builder in oxygen:
set xquery 3.0
declare default element namespace "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";
let $names := for $n in //persName/string-join(descendant::*/text()," ") return $n
return string-join($names,"
")
returns just the texts.
The equivalent in the xpath box above the editor
//persName/string-join(descendant::*/text()," ")
returns the strings, but also the system id etc for each that you then have to manually delete
