On Wednesday, worked on issue #209 (rendering for msDesc), which I implemented
following the model of roleLists. I also for the first time created a map containing
captions, enabling lookup of a caption by element name; this might be a much better
solution for many caption-related requirements than the static <xsl:variable>
approach we usually take. Then worked on the special-case requests for the TOCs for Douai
(issue #319) and committed a fix.
On Thursday, the build was broken because of three errant texts using spaces and periods in their signature transcriptions, triggered by the change to the handling of signatures I made the day before; I fixed the code to avoid the build break, but also per JJ deleted the spaces and periods, which should not have been there in the first place. There were a few more cases of fallout from the change, which I dealt with as they broke the build.
On Friday, debugged a mysterious missing semi-dip TOC (which turned out to be caused by
the presence of a single <pb> which didn’t have @n), and
did a bit of ticket triage.
