8 years ago Hey @nlottig94 we have changed the code to completely remove quotation marks ... for dialogue text any time there is a quote use the <said> element and for other quotes use the <q> element @type = "single" or "double" pending if single or double quotes. So if there is interruption text --- which we previously marked with the <rs type="interruption"> we just leave that outside of two <said> elements. @spadafour I know we had reason before to make the said run over the single speech even if interrupted, but what I realized is that the text "he said" or "she said" is getting grabbed when we run for a count of characters within the said elements. We had checked last semester to see if it was grabbing element names and we saw it wasn't but it is grabbing the text withing the inline elements like the two examples I just listed. So going forward I think it is best to have us use the said element anytime a new set of quotation marks open for two reasons: 1. this will allow us to put actual quotation marks back into the text, when turning it into HTML,in the appropriate places 2. we can continue to count how much speech is allotted to a particular archetype or gender more accurately since how we are doing this is with the string-length(). I can explain this better in person if need be.
@RJP43 I hope to have this article done no later than Sunday! I promise! I've been doing it in my spare time!
