DIsplay of 'rev' and 'sup' items in mw

[funderburkjim]

Refer @aumsanskrit mentions

When a supplement entry is 'integrated' to its 'appropriate' location within the main entry, would it be possible and prudent to use a specialized symbol such as a simple dash "—" for the "indentation itself" (rather than the standard "period"). This way, at a glance the reader will know that such an entry is supplemental to the main entries.

Within mw.txt there are two 'info' elements:

• <info n="sup"/> for 'supplements' (additions of sense or headword) (6395 of these)
• <info n="rev" pc="1308,1"/> (revisions) (248 of these)

These could be used to generate some indicator in the displays, perhaps at the [ID...] point. e.g. (display under aMSu)

• Under aMSu
  • mw.txt: ¦ a ray, sunbeam <info n="rev" pc="1308,1"/>
  • display:
  • old: a ray, sunbeam [ID=52]
  • new: a ray, sunbeam [ID=52,rev,link to p. 1308,1]
• similar for a 'sup'

I think the implementation of this is independent of the 'hierarch placement' issue of #171 and likely can be accomplished by changes to the csl-websanlexicon repo (basicadjust.php and basicdisplay.php).

Scott and AB may want to comment on this proposed enhancement

• whether it should be done at all
• whether the suggested solution above (for aMSu) is good.

[aumsanskrit]

Ultimately, I would like to see an indicator in the list display itself. However, in regard to the Headword display, I like your proposed enhancement.

But in regard to the word "aṃśu", I may be missing something; it seems to me that this word is entirely a main entry without any supplemental reference.

This adds markup that

• identifies a record as 'sup' or 'rev' (supplemental or revised).
• In list display, adds a mark to identify and sup or rev.

For the much rarer 'rev':

[funderburkjim]

I think this is acceptable.

My inclination is to go ahead and

• sync this display code into Github
• and install to Cologne
• Make comparable changes to the displays used in simple-search.
  • I noticed that simple search already does something similar in list pane.
  • But I think mwtestls1 is preferable.

Simple-search example: green/red words in list pane. No indication in main pane.

I think this is acceptable.

Yes, showing Ⓢ (for suppl. addition) and Ⓡ (for suppl. revision) [and Ⓓ (for suppl. deletion) or Ⓔ (for suppl. erase)] entries is very appealing.

I would also suggest showing the corresp. Ⓡ/Ⓓ/Ⓔ entry along with the "modified" main entry as done in case of GRA; this would clearly show the exact correction "string" in the text.

BTW, I have seen that quite a few "sup" entries are actually supposed to be "rev" entries. Also some entries are altogether "left" unmarked with either tag.

[aumsanskrit]

I am very Pleased!

I also laughed because "S" and "R" are the first and last initials to my legal name: "Scott Rhodes".

[Andhrabharati]

Recollecting from our GRA suppl. "integration" work, it is seen to be containing

• 700 "add" records (entries) [for insertion of addl. strings in body matter or addl. HW entries] from the suppl.
• 273 "chg" records [for modifications in the body/HW matter]
• 93 "del" records [for deletions of complete body/HW matter]

Do/should we employ similar naming in the MW suppl. "integration" as well? [MW data has 'sup' marking for "add" elements and 'rev' marking for "chg" elements; the "del" elements are deleted from the text altogether, so their marking doesn't exist!!]
