Post-processing with XSLT

[ebeshero]

Here is a list of things that @Yuying-Jin and I have decided are best handled in post-processing of collation files with XSLT.

• Ampersand and other special characters generated by nodeToXML() output of longTokens, adds, dels (inlineVariationEvent): & or "

  • ONLY if in fact these do prove to be a problem. (They may turn out just as & after all in the edition output!)

• For inlineVariation events where we have constructed "long tokens": we now output these as a complete unit from start to end in only one <rdgGrp> and <rdg>. This means that sometimes the other witnesses split around them awkwardly. We should smooth out the awkwardness with this algorithm:

  • If the contents of a "long token" contains() a string from the very next <app> element following::app[1], then move the contents of that very next <app> up into the current app of the long token, and remove the very next <app>.
