Since this project got started long before TEI P5 was finalized, it uses a slightly obsolete pre-release version of the standard. It also depends on the inclusion of SVG for image markup. It's now time to move forward to the current P5 standard, so I've begun building a system for doing that. The first stage is a new schema: for that, I've taken the imt_1_7 schema and renamed it to mariage.rng. Next, I've created two XSLT files, one taken from the IMT, and one custom-written, to convert the image markup files and the text markup files to standard P5. This is all now working, and I have a set of working files which we can use in building the next version of the site.

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.

I could not find the documents on Image Markup Tool on the computer Claire used to work. No big deal, I looked at images with Helena and we prepared some questions about them for the next meeting.
January 10, 2008
Hello everyone.
Martin tells me that there is still plenty of markup of objects left to do on the images, so please continue.
We do want to improve the balance between texts and images, however, especially now that we have almost 60 engravings up. So, I propose that both France and Helena continue on the images while in the HCMC, but that Helena do some hours at home as well if she wishes to work as much as she did last term.
It would be a question of reading the texts currently on the site and coming up with questions, that I or you and I could then use as a basis for annotating the text (which may require further research, or not, if it's something I know about already).
I can't be with you this Friday afternoon, but I do intend to see you on Friday 18 Jan. after my class, at 12:30.
Note that Martin usually leaves at 2:30 on Friday afternoons, so if you have questions for him, be sure to ask them before 2:30. He and I will work next week to set up some new prose texts for light annotation, about which we can speak on the 18th.
Happy weekend to all. C.

I downloaded the latest changes made by France, and also fixed one little validation error (in bosse.xml, some <lg> tags appeared inside a <p> tag, so I removed the <p> tag).
Then I reuploaded all the image markup files into the XML database. A quick check of the site suggests that all is working OK.

I made a few corrections on "Le fardeau du ménage". called "fardeau" under Image Markup Tool. This one is ready to upgrade on the Website. During Hollydays I will do mostly research at home.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks everybody for the discussion a week ago.
I've confirmed that it will be OK with the Bnf if we post the new images any time in January.
As I mentioned, I have a new version of Sermon pour les cocus. Perhaps that would be a good one for Helena to learn on despite the fact that it's several pages long?
I'll discuss the Thomas Sonnet de Courval satire (the one with several versions) with Martin again to see if I have a workable version for beginning the markup.
I still haven't confirmed with Ellen that I can order a couple of her "petites nouvelles" but I'll see her over the break and we can firm this up.
Off to California tonight. More focus on our project is my new year's resolution!
Happy vacation to all.

I added some details on :
"argent fait" tout called "balance" on image markup tool
If you want to rename it (both the same way, it might be less confusing)
I'm getting used to it, but it's up to you)
added details and fix a few errors
le bon menage
So these two are ready to go.
I'll be back on Tuesday

Project meeting. Key issues for me:
- We can begin posting new images to the site in the new year.
- I have to upgrade the IMT as soon as possible to handle the new FACS components instead of SVG.
- Greg and I have to manage the transition to the new site format by creating a development site, separate from the main site.
- The new site should use the new file format, so I need a simple conversion that will move all the old files to the new format in one go, and then I can install a new IMT on the developer computers.
- We'll be making a start soon on some new texts, at least one of which will have up to five variants which need to be collated.
I'm hoping to get to work on the new IMT version next week.

I think I corrected the typos in the links between inventions_des_femmes 1 & 2 and operation_cephalique.
I've linked the heads being worked on (head on the anvil in o.c. and the incisions on the heads in inv.des.fm. 1&2) in the three images.
Between inv.des.fm. 1&2 I've linked the hat and sword on the ground, the man walking into the room with one amputated leg, the "A" badge on the bandaged men, and the "V" badge on men not yet operated on.
Also, I've finished the transcription markup of the latest images.
