another freakin' inconsistency
by Bauman, Syd 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

I am writing here instead of on a Github ticket as this is either a Guidelines issue (if we decide to encode consistently) or a Stylesheets issue (if we decide to present consistently). Sigh. Right now there appear to be roughly 3700 apostrophes in P5.[1] Of those, 3490 are encoded with U+0027 and 241 with U+2019.[2,3] Of course, many of these are inside <egXML>, and thus maybe should be left alone; and some are inside comments (or maybe PIs), and we probably don’t care at all how they are encoded. So, refining the search to exclude those, there are only 2853 apostrophes,[4] of which 2689 are U+0027 and 190 are U+2019.[5,6] Those that are encoded as U+0027 show up as U+0027 in the HTML output of the Guidelines. I think that is a sin. The question is, what do we want to do about this? The following are (roughly) in my order of preference: 1. Change all the apostrophes to U+0027 in the encoded files, and change the Stylesheets to produce U+2019 on output. Update TCW20 or whatever to match. (I.e. to tell people to use U+0027, not U+2019.) 2. Leave the inconsistent encoding, and don’t bother to update the documentation, but change the Stylesheets so the output is more readable. 3. Change all the apostrophes to U+2019 in the encoded files and update documentation to match. (I.e. to tell people to use U+2019, not U+0027.) Also need to add some checks to the build process to prevent U+0027 from slipping in. 4. Change all the apostrophes to U+0027 in the encoded files, but do not change the Stylesheets, thus leaving our output ugly. 5. Leave things alone. commands used [1] egrep -c "[^=]['’][a-z]" P5/p5.xml [2] egrep -c "[^=]'[a-z]" P5/p5.xml [3] egrep -c "[^=]’[a-z]" P5/p5.xml [4] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "['’][a-z]" [5] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "'[a-z]" [6] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "’[a-z]" [7] Note: xsel is an alias for an xmlstarlet sel command that binds “t:” to the TEI namespace. Thus the above 3 commands ignore elements in any other namespace, particularly the TEI Examples namespace.

November Stylesheets Meeting
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 13 Nov '22

13 Nov '22

Hello! The November Stylesheets meeting was originally scheduled on November 24th but I am in another event during those days and many members of Council might be also celebrating Thanksgiving Day. I was wondering if we could just put it off to one week later and have the meeting on December 1st at the usual time (8:00 PST, 11:00 EST, 16:00 UTC, 17:00 CET). Just in case, I added other options to the Doodle: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/ejZ645We Best, H.

New Council Chair
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

Dear Council, After five years as Chair of the Council, it is high time to hand over the "sceptre" to someone else. Elisa has already expressed interest to take over, but as not everyone was present at the last meeting, I would like to encourage everyone who would like to stand for Chair (or propose someone) to let us know before/at the next meeting on Thursday 10 November. Please find more on the Council Chair elections here: https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=TEI-Council-FAQ#How_is_the_TEI_Techn… I'm happy to answer any questions concerning tasks and workload.

Next Stylesheets meeting: October 27th
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting will take place on Thursday October 27th at 15.00Z (8.00 PDT, 11.00 EDT, 17.00 CEST). The plan for this week is to greenlight some issues that need discussion and then to continue the work we started last month concerning Guidelines-related issues. The agenda last month was motivated by the imminent release, but I think it might be efficient to keep working on those issues: certain discussions concerning the usability of internal links are fresh in our minds (and also the pertinent stylesheets to examine). Nevertheless, do not hesitate to add other items to the agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LHIhvuNTISCrlMZDZx7jkVbDt8teivQTbJrF0EV…>! Best, H.

Oxygen plugin status
by Martin Holmes 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hi All, Martina, Syd and I met this morning and made changes to the Oxygen plugin build to account for jar file changes in the latest Oxygen release. That seems to have worked, in that the bleeding-edge plugin built successfully on Jenkins, we were able to install it on both Oxygen 24.1 and 25, and it mostly works. The build of the stable plugin, which I ran manually on my Jenkins server, also seems to have been successful, but we haven't tested that. I say mostly because we found two different issues which are not directly related to the plugin, and which were broken in previous versions of it. One is that the ODD-to-PDF build fails with an out-of-memory error when transforming tei_all. It's possible that the Oxygen folks have kept it working in their version of the framework by adding additional memory to the transformation, but I can't see how they're doing that, if they are. Anyway, the same transformation works OK for tei_lite.odd, so I don't think this is a major issue. A more serious problem is that the epub transformation fails because a handful of CSS files are in the wrong place relative to how the transformation runs. If you look at the Makefile in the Stylesheets, you can see that it copies CSS files to a second location where the transformation is expecting to find them (a line added to the file by Sebastian in 2014). However, the framework/plugin does not use the Makefile, so that step never happens, and the build fails. The Oxygen folks have fixed this in their version of the framework by patching our XSLT to point to the files where they actually are. That seems sensible to me, and I think what we actually have is a bug in the Stylesheets, where relative paths are used to point to things and not resolved against a solid location, so running the same transformation in different ways expects to find the same files in two different places. The Makefile solution of making copies of them seems a bit like a hack to me. If you are subscribed to the bleeding-edge plugin, you should get updates, and if you make use of it over the next few days and have any problems, do raise an issue on the oxygen-tei repo. I think it would be prudent to fix the Stylesheets bug before the next TEI / Stylesheets release, because a new "stable" version of the plugin will be released at that time, but the bug has been there for a while so it's not crucial.

Heading for Release 4.5.0 / 7.54.0
by Peter Stadler 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Dear all, the release team (Martina, Sabine and I) had a very productive morning and pulled in some pending pull requests. There are still various pending PRs but we urge you to keep your hands away from the keyboard since we already entered freeze period (i.e. the real freeze, not the hot freeze!) That said, we’d really appreciate your input and review for/of * https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2359 <https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2359> – Dead iso cat * https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2342 <https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2342> – measure part of att.ranging * https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/pull/583 <https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/pull/583> – update p5subset The first two might get into the release if approved over the weekend; the third is a necessary update of the file p5subset.xml for the Stylesheets tests. Here we need to look through the changes to the expected results and whether they correctly reflect our intentions. The release team scheduled a meeting for Monday (see Google calendar) where we will go through the weekend-fallout. Additionally, we will then move all open issues and PRs from the current milestones to the next. If you already know about unfinished work regarding your tickets, please feel free to move them to the next milestone yourselves. Have a great weekend Peter
