bad hyphen placement on word broken by line when there is added text at right

[andreabernini]

When the tag occurs in the middle of a word that continues in the following line, the display is not correct, in relation to the symbol -

P.Oxy. 75.5043 (TM 128970) Fr. 5,9-10 https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128970.xml

Leiden+:

9. [Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ] ||right:.3 vac.2-3 .1[.?]||
10.- [πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,]

Displayed:

9 Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ] (added at right:   ̣  ̣  ̣ vac.2-3   ̣[ -ca.?- ])-
10 [πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,]

Expected:

9 Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ-] (added at right:   ̣  ̣  ̣ vac.2-3   ̣[ -ca.?- ])
10 [πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,]

The tag ‘left’ seems to be ok: in the same papyrus, Fr. 18 col. ii,11-12 https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128970.xml#l302

Leiden+:

11. ἐγγενὲς  ἔ(´)μμ[εν ἀεθλη]
12.- ||left:.1|| τ[αῖς ἀγα]θοῖσι[ν· ἐπεὶ]

Displayed:

11 ἐγγενὲς ἔ(*)μμ[εν ἀεθλη-]
12 (added at left:   ̣) τ[αῖς ἀγα]θοῖσι[ν· ἐπεὶ]

@paregorios There is a difference in how the XML is generated for the two examples listed above.

The correctly rendering xml (https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128970.xml#l302) has the <add place="left"> after the <lb>. In the problematic file (https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128970.xml#L302) the <add place="right"> comes before the <lb> if you change the location of the <add> element in the second instance it renders as expected.

We can, of course, adjust the XSLT to handle this use case, just want to make sure this is a desired difference in the data format, not a bug.

Sorry, I don't understand this question. @paregorios, can you clarify?

[paregorios]

@wsalesky thanks ... I'll undertake to look more closely at this one.

So, there's a text encoding issue here. And I'd like opinion from @jcowey, @gabrielbodard, and @hcayless if possible.

Where in a physical line should the markup come for text added at left or right when a word is broken across two lines in the same place, but the addition is marginal and should not be read as part of the main text flow?

text added at right next to a wrapped word

P.Oxy. 75 5043, fragment 5, lines 9-10 The split word is ἀ|πείρωι, and some illegible characters (with whitespace between some of them) have been added to the right of the first line, such that one would expect to see something like the following in HTML output (note hyphen placement after Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ):

[Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ-] (added at right: ... vac. 2-3 . [ - ca. ? - ])
[πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,]

We've currently got the following XML, which the XSLT doesn't like and which I think is problematic:

<lb n="9"/><supplied reason="lost">Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ</supplied> <add place="right"><gap reason="illegible" quantity="3" unit="character"/> <space atLeast="2" atMost="3" unit="character"/> <gap reason="illegible" quantity="1" unit="character"/><gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/></add>
<lb n="10" break="no"/><supplied reason="lost">πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,</supplied>

Here's what the XSLT gives us (note hyphen placement at end of first line), which I think is sorta sensible given the markup, but is not what the editor intends:

[Φθίαι· Νεοπτόλεμος δ’ ἀ] (added at right:   ... vac. 2-3 . [ -ca.?- ])-
[πείρωι διαπρυσίαι,]

If the editor wanted us to read the illegible, added characters at right as being the start of a word that wrapped to the next line, I think the above encoding would be right. But since it's a marginal annotation of some kind, what should we do?

[paregorios]

I note that the EpiDoc Guidelines don't consider this sort of edge case: http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/latest/trans-addition.html

[paregorios]

So, I think this might be an edge case of a larger issue about marginalia: #121
