2 years ago all_xmltags.txt shows the tag counts by dictionary.
Remember - these are just the tags used in the digitizations xxx.txt of csl-orig.
Also, tag attributes are not considered, e.g. <lang n="greek"> and <lang script="Arabic" n="Persian"> are both represented just as the <lang> tag.
Another summary including some attributes could be developed.
The xmltag directory contains work thus far.

2 years ago Good to see my use of "embedded picture" unearthing some interesting points, only lingering in @funderburkjim's mind so far.

2 years ago The xxx-meta2.txt files in csl-orig contain SOME documentation of the tags used in each dictionary.
For example, ben-meta2.txt for the Benfey dictionary.
It would be useful to update these meta2 files based on all_xmltags.txt -- for example, compare ben-meta2 notes versus the 'tags for ben' section in all_xmltags.
One small detail if anyone undertakes such a revision of the meta2 file(s): the all_xmltags only includes tags appearing
within an entry in xxx.txt (between metaline <L>... and metaend <LEND>)

2 years ago This done as it was noticed that <> tags still present in all_xmltags.txt, but these had been systematically removed last year.
One usage of all_xmltags.txt is to answer questions like which dictionaries use the <etym> tag ?
The digitizations in csl-orig/v02 contain various xml-type markup. This markup, along with non-xml type markup (such as
{#X#}for slp1-transcoded Sanskrit used in many dictionaries) is converted to validating xml (xxx.xml) by make_xml.py (this based on make_xml.py in csl-pywork repository).The xml-type tags in xxx.txt files arei dentified and counted. Occasionally, this is of use, such as finding rarely (or never) used markup. This is a first such summary. Other summaries may be developed as needed.
