Display of paratexts #65

Open manufrancis opened 1 year ago

manufrancis commented 1 year ago

I am progressively updating our XML files adding, wherever missing, the tag <milestone unit="main-text-area"/>. Can you in set our display so that when a <seg function="..."> is imported in the Paratexts display the <pb> and the <milestone> are both displayed?

See for instance, NAF 9114, where it would be nice to have the <pb> which bears the @facs also displayed: image

Or Indien 273: image

The tricky thing is that we have several situation to handle, e.g.

<pb> <seg function="paratext"><milestone unit="main-text-area"/> <lb n="1"/>[paratext]

<pb> <seg function="intertitle"><milestone unit="left-margin"/> <lb n="1"/>[intertitle] <seg function="..."><milestone unit="main-text-area"/> <lb n="1"/>[paratext]

<pb> <milestone unit="main-text-area"/> <lb n="1-5"/><gap reason="ellipsis"/> <seg function="..."> <lb n="6"/>[paratext1]</seg>``<seg function="...">[paratext2]</seg>

Maybe we should make strict rules about the placement of <seg> vis à vis <pb> and <milestone>

Any suggestions?

===============

PS1: can you also display <seg>(when its value for @function is either rubric, incipit, explicit, completion-statement, colophon, copy-statement, date, total-"whatever") in Contents and not in Paratexts? I guess it is implemented for most of these values.

But see for instance Paratexts display of Indien 196: image

===============

PS2: can you also set the display so that if a <seg function> is contained in another <seg function>, it is not displayed twice. See again Indien 196, Contents: image It would be nice to have here only the display of colophon (as the mouseover indicate the further <seg> contained in).

===============

PS3: I noticed strange displays in Paratexts, e.g. image in Indien 22, where we do not need image

Same issue in Indien 51: image

and in Indien 273: image

For issue 1: maybe we should be using standard TEI <fw> and <body> instead of <milestone>. It would also make it easier to process.

For issue 2/3: I usually think of the completion statement as separate from and preceding the colophon...

For issue 4: Yes this is an ongoing struggle...

Here is one way to structure a transcription that is TEI-like and would solve a lot of our problems:

<text>
  <front>
    <fw place="left-margin">[blessing in the left margin]</fw>
    <docTitle>[title of the work as written on the title page]</docTitle>
  </front>
  <body>
    <milestone n="1r" unit="folio"/>
    <fw place="left-margin">[blessing in the left margin]</fw>
    <lb n="1"/>[main text]
  </body>
  <back>
    [if there's a back title page or something]
  </back>
</text>
