TEIC / TEI-Simple

Legacy Repository: TEI SimplePrint now merged into TEI Repository. Originally TEI Simple aimed to define a new highly-constrained and prescriptive subset of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines suited to the representation of early modern and modern books, a formally-defined set of processing model rules that enable web applications to easily present and analyze the encoded texts, mapping to other ontologies, and processes to describe the encoding status and richness of a TEI digital text.

No simple: `@rendition` value for indent? #30

Indented first lines in paras and other blocks are common in all early modern texts. The current simplePrint spec doesn't provide anything for this. I propose simple:indentFirst, or failing that, from CSS, simple:textIndent.

+1 I have a slight preference for the second (CSS-alike) variant. I have noticed that we have not used the camelcase spelling for the xml:id values so far. Should we stick to small letters (e.g. simple:textindent)?

martindholmes commented 7 years ago

Yes, I'd go with simple:textindent. It can be derived from the CSS property in an automated way (although the reverse is harder).

Conal-Tuohy commented 7 years ago

The name of the related CSS property is actually text-indent (with a hyphen). I'd suggest just using the same name.

martindholmes commented 7 years ago

We have no other hyphenated simple: properties, so I didn't want to introduce one. The convention seems to be to remove the hyphen:

CSS: small-caps simple:smallcaps
