Added indexing of book and journal titles, and added an A-Z link set at the top. Also completed the tagging of January 1818, tagged a bunch more poems in the existing texts, and fixed a lot of bad tagging from the conversion.

This is the first stage in a comprehensive index of the site, built from in-document tagging.

With SA, met with SH and JR, and discussed the complexities of bringing together all the datasets and tools from the project. One approach is to consider HCMC as having a subproject whose aim is to plan and pilot integrations of the data and reproduction of the API on HCMC servers, with the long-term aim of migrating the data as the various components move off the project; meanwhile, they keep working as they are.

Making steady progress now. Pulled the footer out of the CSS so it can be edited externally; I'll probably end up doing the same with the banner. Fixed some bad links, added some links to larger maps in the earlier pages (about twenty still to do), renamed some badly-named images, and so on. Worked on the finer details of the mobile display.

Completed all the site pages except for the index; reworked the home page to account for my changes in the banner; got the gallery completely working; fixed issues with the menu selection; set up an oval portrait-style image style and applied it where needed; completed July 1819; and numerous other fixes.

Added in 18 large map images not linked in the early articles, and fixed some other errors; then worked on the gallery display, and created a pure-CSS gallery that seems to be working well. I just need to integrate the captions for the images (as @title attributes) and I'll be done.

Issue 105 is a two-stage process: first integrate the image provenance data into the XML, then rewrite the output processing to make it appear in the right place. I've completed the first part of that.

Much wrestling with the oddities of position: relative and absolute has me most of the way towards getting the submenu actually working. There are two remaining problems to solve, though.

Got the schema working, rewrote the Author mode CSS, and created a template. The Author mode editing is now practical.

Eight more articles. Pretty steady progress here.
