Feature: transformer to resolve deprecations #10

Closed telic closed 2 years ago

telic commented 9 years ago

Add a transformer that replaces deprecated tagging with the preferred new tagging when possible.

telic commented 9 years ago

A few things that could be done quite easily:

replace PROSEQUOTE with <MODE t="prose"><QUOTE>
replace VERSEQUOTE with <MODE t="verse"><QUOTE>
replace BLOCKQUOTE with QUOTE
drop iseHeader, META, and LINK entirely
replace TITLEHEAD with TITLE
replace FONTGROUP with FONT, and its @n with @size
replace LINGROUP/@form with @t
replace SPACE/@n with @l
replace INDENT/@n with @l
replace all H* tags with LD
replace POEM with DIV
replace SECTION with DIV, and its @n with @name

It would probably be a good idea to encode these simple translations into the schema somehow.

Some slightly trickier ones:

replace TITLEPAGE with <DIV name="Title page">
move PN/@n to PAGE/@n, unless it already exists
move SIG/@n to PAGE/@sig, unless it already exists

New transformer which extends IdentityTransformer and overrides the necessary methods.
