If @michaelnmmeyer could prepare a list of what tooltip is shown for what code, I should be able to suggest improvements. This could perhaps be integrated with our collaboration on the cheatsheet/conventions list, though it may be better to keep the two separate. I do, however, think that tooltips should be kept relatively simple, and that means that they may not be 100% appropriate in all cases. Thus, @arlogriffiths , I'm not sure what your problem is with the tooltip "Superfluous text erroneously added by the scribe", but if it is that the suppressed comma is not really "text", then I think this is within tolerance.
I meant that "Superfluous text erroneously added by the scribe" seems redundant to me. Why would "Superfluous text" not be sufficient?
I will create a sample file that enumerates all possible cases. This will take some time, though.
Thanks, I don't think this is urgent. If we leave this thread open, I'll get an alert when you mention it here; or you can just send me the sample file directly over email.
Here's another thing that doesn't seem right.
Code:
<lg xml:lang="san-Latn" met="śārdūlavikrīḍita" n="34">
<l n="a"><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">sādhūnām pathi yātu paura-samitir dharmyā gatir ma</supplied>ntriṇām</l>
<l n="b">bhūyād bhūta-hiteṣiṇo muni-janā Itthan na me prārthanā</l>
<l n="c">yasmiñ jīvati rājñi ra<lb break="no" n="A36"/><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">kṣati bhuvan dharmeṇa siddhyanti te</supplied></l>
<l n="d"><supplied reason="lost" evidence="previouseditor">tasmāc chrī-jala</supplied>laṅga-deva-nr̥-patir dīrghaṁ sa jīvyād iti ⊙ // ⊙</l>
</lg>
Display:
Note wrong explanation of @evidence of <supplied>
.
For this one I inadvertently swapped the two possible values of @evidence
. The expected tooltips were:
parallel restoration based on parallel
previouseditor restoration based on previous edition (not assessable)
Can we get this moving again? What about starting with the correction of the wrong tooltip "Foliation work"? Above I suggested that "Foliation" would be good.
OK for "Foliation".
@danbalogh and @michaelnmmeyer —
I notice that several of the little descriptions that pop up with mouse-over (I Dan calls this tooltip) are neither direct expressions of the TEI elements nor identical to what we say on https://dharmalekha.info/editorial-conventions.
I attach some screenshots as examples:
<lb>
?<surplus>
?<fw>
? (Though since "forme work" is such a specialized term, that I'd never heard before the start of DHARMA in 2019, maybe a more generally understandable expression like "Foliation" without "work" would be desirable.)Could you work together to make sure all relevant messages have Dan's approval? I am happy to trust his judgment.
