HCMC Blogs

As part of some other work, I've enhanced my Transformer sequence for escaping and tagging XML code so that it works for comments as well, and added bolding to the code. I've updated the CSS file for the blogs to support this too, so this should look nicely syntax-highlighted:

Updated website with changes to ALL PAGES (announcements and conference info) CONTACT, FACULTY, EVENTS pages (included poster).
Sent confirmation email to BAK (cc SA)

We had a problem on beet where a local user had Gnome Keyring issues when trying to commit changes to svn. It *appears* that if the local user name and the remote user name are the same, but have different passwords, things can get a bit weird. We deleted the local user's keyring, but the problem re-occurred on reboot.
When the user logged in to beet with their netlink id the problem did not occur.

Note to self - do not provision local users that have the same name as the project itself.

One DH abstract and one PDSA submission reviewed.

On late duty.

2 tickets assigned to me from Council meeting dealt with.

On JT's instructions, made some edits to the intro and rebuilt.

Very interesting abstract that sent me off to read other papers, and taught me quite a bit.

I've implemented everything on our plan, and sent the results to JT for checking:

• Running headers have been reworked to match their requirements.
• The list of contributors has been moved to the end, before the index.
• The TOC is followed by a List of Illustrations.
• After the Index, there is:
  • a List of Colour Plates
  • an empty landscape page for each colour plate, with a caption
  • an empty page for each monochrome image (figure), with a caption (all landscape except one).
  None of those pages are numbered; I've put them at the end so that they don't affect the numbering of any other pages.

As far as I can tell, I've followed the publisher's guidelines and examples on page size and text positioning exactly, but JT will to check that. For the landscape pages, I've assumed that the area of the page which is used for text in portrait mode is also the area that would be used in landscape mode, so the centred captions for "Colour Plate 1" etc. are centred relative to that page area, not the page as a whole.

Notes:

1. I've used "colour" rather than "color" throughout -- the publisher may wish to change spelling, but if so, it would have to be done comprehensively through the whole volume, which follows Canadian spelling.
2. We're still missing the ISBN number on the title page verso. We mustn't forget that.

One DH 2012 abstract and one PDSA application reviewed.
