Over the weekend and on Monday, I set up an actual build process to generate the new HTML file version from the CSVs, and then started parameterizing this process (file names were hard-coded) to make it easily runnable on other novels.
On Tuesday, I added code to parse out the event titles and content from the CSV and render these in the form of popups in the web page; then I finished the parameterization, and moved the CSS out of the XSLT into a separate file. Finally, I got two new input files for another novel from CB, and was able to get a preliminary output from them, although the colours still need fixing.
On Wednesday, worked a bit more on the parameterization, and found one bug yet to fix. Met with JJ and GN to plan the migration process in detail.
On Friday, cleaned up all the new stuff I’ve added to the repo and moved it into a fresh folder, added detailed documentation, then merged my branch into main and let CB know about it.
