Renaut de Montauban #122

Closed Jean-Baptiste-Camps closed 2 years ago

A bunch of stemmata for (part of) the complicated Renaut de Montauban tradition.

Very interesting textual tradition!

About the test fail: the TEI transformation assumes that there must a witSigla, but here there are some manuscripts with information and no sigla in the metadata.txt. Can we have a sigla for them? Or is the assumption in the test wrong and there might be manuscritps listed without sigla? @Jean-Baptiste-Camps

Jean-Baptiste-Camps commented 2 years ago

Forcing them seems like a good practice, because we need them for ideas. The only problem here is that there are two competing systems, old and new, with some overlap (like 'new C' is a new manuscript, but not the same ms. as 'old C')… It would have been easier if Thomas hadn't changed the sigla. Is it a problem if we have sigla like [A] or A* (or A (Thomas)) ? I seem to remember it is.

The TEI uses the value of this field for the xml:id of the witness element. For example, siglum "A" would be: <witness xml:id="w_A">

Any special characters are not allowed. Right now the transformation replaces whitespace by _ and single quotation mark ' by prime Would single quotation mark work in this case?

It also deals with superscript and subscript: A¹ or A₁ are converted to A1.

GusRiva commented 2 years ago

And I could add other custom rules if that helps

GusRiva commented 2 years ago

Another posibility would be to just include the witness information for the ones that actually appear in each stemma.

Every change requested is made, could be merged I think.
