Open wlpotter opened 3 months ago
We do have some cases of footnotes in other notes: note/note[@type="footnote"]
. We might also want to discuss if this will create confusion if we display as noted above?
How does the current display look to you?
I think this looks good -- I'm going to leave it open to see what @davidamichelson thinks next week
@wlpotter @davidamichelson Any updates? Can this be closed?
Notes for future development, we will hard code numbers on all footnotes, then display as separate section for each MS item below the notes section in a new section called footnotes.
Adding another example to test with footnotes at multiple layers of the msItem tree:
The record https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/257 has examples of footnotes at various levels in the msItem tree. Item 1 (xml:id a1); Item 5 (xml:id b4); Item 6 (xml:id b5); and Item 9 (xml:id c2) all have footnotes, and we would ideally have each item have its own footnotes section
When there is a footnote in Wright, we have encoded these as a tei:note element with
@type="footnote"
. Since these notes can appear even in the middle of other text contents, we'd like to see if the App can handle them as follows:Example from https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/739#msPart2 item 1, in the Syriac title
At the location of the
note[@type="footnote"]
could we replace the element with an asterisk ("*") character?Would it be possible to then have the footnote notes display in the list of other
msItem/note
elements, preceded by an asterisk ("*") character?So the list of notes for this example item would be similar to:
Notes:
We can discuss this on Tuesday if needed.
