quotes question #49

Closed lcerrato closed 8 years ago

lcerrato commented 8 years ago

Am I correct in thinking this is still not CTS compliant for a line based work? <q> <l n="37">...</l> <l n="38">...</l> <l n="39">...</l> <l n="40">...</l> <l n="41">...</l> <l n="42">...</l> </q>

I'm pretty sure that's true, because it will break on range requests, e.g. if you requested lines 36-39. @PonteIneptique do you agree?

PonteIneptique commented 8 years ago

It does not anymore. There is no issue with this anymore (Normally.)

lcerrato commented 8 years ago

No, it does not break the display, but are the quotes supposed be contained within the default hierarchy or not?

PonteIneptique commented 8 years ago

I am not sure I get the question (language barrier most probably). Could you translate it into code ? :D

gregorycrane commented 8 years ago

the alternate model would be this -- much more cumbersome.

<l n="37"><q>...</q></l> <l n="38"><q>...</q></l> <l n="39"><q>...</q></l>

This issue: https://github.com/PerseusDL/tei-conversion-tools/wiki/Quotes,-Opening-and-Closing We need to solve this problem for quotes that cross the hierarchy

The quote open and close is crossing the default CTS hierarchy.

Say we have a quote, and the default hierarchy breaks this way, where 1 and 2 are sections or lines or whatever your default is: [1]"Let me not find you, old man, by the hollow ships, either tarrying now or coming back later, lest your staff and the wreath of the god not protect you. [2]Her I will not set free."

how should this be made cts compliant?

Currently, it would look like this: <div ...><p><quote>Let me not find you, old man, by the hollow ships, either tarrying now or coming back later, lest your staff and the wreath of the god not protect you. </p></div><div ...><p>Her I will not set free.</quote></p></div>

but the above instructions indicate it should look like this: <div ...><p><quote>Let me not find you, old man, by the hollow ships, either tarrying now or coming back later, lest your staff and the wreath of the god not protect you.</quote></p></div><div ...><p><quote rend="merge">Her I will not set free.</quote></p></div>

i lost my angle brackets and tags

PonteIneptique commented 8 years ago

When quotes crosses (Or any other tag really) crosses CTS tags, the general accepted solution is indeed to use merge. In the original question at the top, you had no crossing tags, which made it unclear to me. so indead, you could have either :

<div ...><p><quote>Let me not find you, old man, by the hollow ships, either tarrying now or coming back later, lest your staff and the wreath of the god not protect you.</quote></p></div><div ...><p><quote rend="merge">Her I will not set free.</quote></p></div> or actually quote outside the p if it's TEI compliant.

Another example with line : 

<div>
<q>
<l n="37">...</l>
<l n="38">...</l>
<l n="39">...</l>
</q>
<div>
<div>
<q rend="merge">
<l n="40">...</l>
<l n="41">...</l>
<l n="42">...</l>
</q>```

If this answer the question, feel free to close it :)

lcerrato commented 8 years ago

Thanks! @PonteIneptique
The instructions are not clear for poetry versus prose. I would have enclosed the quote tags within the line tags to be safe. :)
