| − | == Review ODDs (HTML documentation and schemas derived from them) == | + | == Handling of hyphenation == |
| | | | |
| − | The latest version of the <cite>Best Practices for TEI in Libraries</cite> document, now derived from source TEI ODD files, is available for review. I have moved all of the content from [[Best Practices for TEI in Libraries|the wiki page]] to TEI source files, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Besides just plain copy editing and review of the document and thorough testing of the schemas, the generic TEI stylesheets are not really up to the task of making the documents easily readable. The source is maintained on [https://github.com/sydb/TEI-in-Libraries GitHub]. Anyone (in the world) can get a copy of the source files from there at any time. Any one of you that wishes to have write access needs to send [[User:Syd|Syd]] your GitHub user name and he’ll add you to the “contributors” list.
| + | Syd will post to TEI-L asking how to distinguish "his-tory" and "run-on" when they break across lines. Both would take break="no", but how to allow for searching of "history" and "run-on"? |
| | | | |
| − | For those of you who are not interested in wrestling with command-line `roma`<ref>Last I knew, the web `Roma` will not properly process the new ODD constructs, so cannot be used for these files. Using the command-line `roma` is not all that bad, though. And once you get the hang of it, it is ''much'' faster than using the web. For a complete set of instructions for installing command-line `roma` on Mac OS X (or GNU/Linux), see http://www.wwp.brown.edu/outreach/seminars/_current/handouts/roma_CLI_MacOS_X.html . Note that (a) there is a known but small cart-before-the-horse problem in these instructions — I don’t remember what it is at the moment or I’d tell you; and (b) that URL will (hopefully) change later this month, but it will probably get re-directed. ([[User:Syd|Syd]])</ref>, there is a snapshot of the HTML documentation and schemas (both closed in RELAX NG and open in ISO Schematron) on the web. There is [http://tei.wwp.brown.edu/~syd/temp/TEI-Library-SIG/BP_files.html an easy-to-use list of the most important files] and [http://tei.wwp.brown.edu/~syd/temp/TEI-Library-SIG/BestPractices/ the entire list of files]. There is a lot of work to be done on these documents. Even after we find & fix errors, we need lots of examples for the tagdocs (examples in the element definitions to override the default ones from P5, many of which aren't valid according to the BP because they contain extra elements, are missing required attributes, etc.).
| + | == Bug fixes == |
| | | | |
| − | The process of [[Feedback on the TEI in Libraries Best Practices ODD Documentation and Schemas|gathering feedback was formalized and carried out in Spring 2011]].
| + | * Fix schema bug where list element is not allowed except as a child of p. |
| | + | : Syd put model.inter back into model.common at Levels 3 and 4. This fixed the problem. Syd wonders whether this change will have any side-effect; he will investigate further. |
| | | | |
| − | == Edits made and to be made based on feedback == | + | == Copyediting == |
| | | | |
| − | Kevin Hawkins and Syd Bauman met on 2011-07-05 to go through [[Feedback on the TEI in Libraries Best Practices ODD Documentation and Schemas|the feedback]] and make changes to the ODDs. Kevin made comments in the feedback changes addressing each point raised. Most errors were fixed, and are also a few things reported which were by design in the BP.
| + | Copyedit element recommendations at each level to avoid awkward and misleading syntax. |
| | | | |
| − | The following issues were reported during the feedback process but remain to be resolved in the ODDs:
| + | Remove ODD markup in level specifications that Syd added from P5 so as not to include examples that contradict rest of Guidelines. |
| | | | |
| − | * Syd will post to TEI-L asking how to distinguish "his-tory" and "run-on" when they break across lines. Both would take break="no", but how to allow for searching of "history" and "run-on"?
| + | Edit main-driver.odd to review metadata for the BP as a whole (in both the teiHeader and front elements): editors (stated more prominently than in the appendix), copyright, version number, etc. Check with Michelle on whether we should revise acknowledgement of DLF support. |
| − | * Syd will check whether Schematron rule preventing use of @rend and @rendition within header is working. If so, correct note at [[Level 3 Schema and Schematron Feedback]].
| |
| − | : Now fixed.
| |
| | | | |
| − | In addition, we need to resolve the following in the stylesheet(s) for creating HTML documentation:
| + | == Rendering better documentation from the ODDs == |
| | | | |
| − | * Handling of lists within cells: should just run each item together, separated only by " * ".
| + | Tables should have borders on cells (or some clear path for indicating in ODD document that you want borders). |
| − | : This was fixed between January and July 2011.
| + | : Syd said this can be overriden by giving values for cssFile and/or cssSecondFile parameters to odd2html.xsl. Not sure how to "send" these through roma2. |

| |
| − | * In roma2.sh, only one schemaSpec is processed by extract-schemaSpec-ident.xsl. This doesn't work for us and needs to be fixed in Subversion.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Furthermore, we discovered that Syd had not kept the ODDs in sync with [http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=Best_Practices_for_TEI_in_Libraries&diff=8883&oldid=8695|changes made between 2010-12-19 and when the wiki was frozen]. He is working through that list of changes to make.

| − | Late feedback from Google:
| + | == Before release == |
| − | | |
| − | * Change "Required if headings are present. This element must be a child of a <div> or <div1>." to "Required if headings are present. This element must be the first child of a textual division." (In the latter sentence, this is the generic "div" term so that this rule can apply for levels 3, 4, and 5 as well.)
| |
| − | : Left this for Level 2 but added to Level 4 with alternate definition.
| |
| − | * Fix schema bug where list element is not allowed except as a child of p.
| |
| − | : Syd put model.inter back into model.common at Levels 3 and 4. This fixed the problem. Syd wonders whether this change will have any side-effect; he will investigate further.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Syd is committing changes to his local Subversion repository and will commit to [https://github.com/sydb/TEI-in-Libraries/ our GitHub repository] as well at some point.
| |

| |
| − | # Kevin will replace [http://www.tei-c.org/SIG/Libraries/teiinlibraries/ the official HTML version] with a page akin to http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/Lite/ that explains what the BP is, links to the GitHub repository for the latest, and provides links to documentation and schemas generated according to the instructions Syd adds to the README file.

The following are things to do to the BP before making an official "release". There is a separate list of Future changes to Best Practices for TEI in Libraries.
Handling of hyphenation
Syd will post to TEI-L asking how to distinguish "his-tory" and "run-on" when they break across lines. Both would take break="no", but how to allow for searching of "history" and "run-on"?
Bug fixes
- Fix schema bug where list element is not allowed except as a child of p.
- Syd put model.inter back into model.common at Levels 3 and 4. This fixed the problem. Syd wonders whether this change will have any side-effect; he will investigate further.
Copyediting
Copyedit element recommendations at each level to avoid awkward and misleading syntax.
Remove ODD markup in level specifications that Syd added from P5 so as not to include examples that contradict rest of Guidelines.
Edit main-driver.odd to review metadata for the BP as a whole (in both the teiHeader and front elements): editors (stated more prominently than in the appendix), copyright, version number, etc. Check with Michelle on whether we should revise acknowledgement of DLF support.
Rendering better documentation from the ODDs
Tables should have borders on cells (or some clear path for indicating in ODD document that you want borders).
- Syd said this can be overriden by giving values for cssFile and/or cssSecondFile parameters to odd2html.xsl. Not sure how to "send" these through roma2.
- Sebastian wrote in an email to use, e.g., --docflags="cssFile=foo.css" but warned that this was from memory. (Kshawkin 16:08, 22 August 2011 (EDT))
Omit exemplars from output — preferably just those from the P5 source, not the customization ODD file.
Documentation of ODD processing
Syd will write down the command-line code needed in order to generate HTML files from the ODDs and add this to https://github.com/sydb/TEI-in-Libraries/blob/master/README .
- Done, except that Syd needs to fill in the footnotes.
Before release
Update the official HTML version and copy of main-driver.html linked from there.
