run XSLT 1 from ant?
by Bauman, Syd 29 Nov '20

29 Nov '20

How do we run XSLT 1 from ant? (In particular, from P5/antbuilder.xml. I tried "trax", but get a fatal “XSLT 1.0 compatibility mode is not available in this configuration”.)

Evaluating the "Copia" version of the Guidelines
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Dear Council, After I had to exit early from this morning's Stylesheets meeting I was eager to see how Syd's "Copia" output of the Guidelines turned out. (For those who missed it, Syd found a quick way to output the Guidelines in a way that would prevent suppression of examples in other languages, and this seems mainly to affect the way the Guidelines Spec pages turn out (not the Guidelines chapter examples). I saw in the minutes that we're asked to review Syd's interesting output, named "Copia" (for more copious examples) and report back to the Council list. So started exploring element spec pages a little this evening. Here's what I'm finding: The bibl element is much improved by the Copia output: the examples are far more diverse, but not bewildering in number. I think it is fascinating to see non-English variety: - Copia: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/html_GLs_all_eg_en/ref-bibl.… - Current: https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-bibl.html The byline element is similarly a lot more interesting now: - Copia: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/html_GLs_all_eg_en/ref-bylin… - Current: https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-byline.html The gap element seems similarly improved, though there's a little problem here: - Copia: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/html_GLs_all_eg_en/ref-gap.h… - Current: https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-gap.html What I noticed right away was, the number of examples did not seem overwhelming, and the variety of languages evident before you had to click "Show All" reflects a good diversity with Asian languages rising to the fore. However(!) the duplicate example jumps out--duplicates in English. Turns out the French exemplum is identical to the English here, and I"m not really sure why. I think I've seen that in other specs as well. Meanwhile, the element p looks a bit more interesting now, and I think it improves on the current output: - Copia: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/html_GLs_all_eg_en/ref-p.html - Current: https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-p.html How about ab? Completely boring: no change at all, and it's sadly evident that we don't have enough examples in the first place. (If that isn't a ticket yet, it should be!) - Copia: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/html_GLs_all_eg_en/ref-ab.ht… - Current: https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-ab.html Okay-that's a start: a review of 5 out of 582 element specs (less than one percent...sigh). But so far I like the Copia version for what it illuminates about our range of exempla, both where it is diverse and where it is lacking. Looking forward to hearing what others think!

Stylesheets meeting Tue 03 Nov 20
by Bauman, Syd 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

We are scheduled to hold a Stylesheets meeting this coming Tue 03 Nov 22. Note the time may be different due to recent DST shift in north America: * 06:00 PST * 09:00 EST * 14:00 GMT (and UTC) * 15:00 CET The topic is pre-ordained from the VF2F Council meeting. The goal is to generate a version of the Stylesheets (in a branch, of course) that puts all examples in every language into the Guidelines outputs. Our fearless leader has prepared a GoogleDoc for us, which has the notes from the VF2F and can be used to take notes during the Stylesheets meeting.[1] Is Hangouts still OK for everyone?

TEI Customizations ODD issues?
by Hugh Cayless 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hi All, I guess this question is mostly for Syd, but since the customizations ODD is an exemplar, we're all kind of responsible for it. If I have bug reports, should I make GitHub issues for them? Issues I've run into: 1) @role="nonfatal" I think is not understood as a warning, and gets you the usual red underline/error presentation. I feel like warn and/or info might be better. Oxygen's supported role levels seem to be: "warn" or "warning" "error" "fatal" "info" or "information" 2) default values for required attributes are flagged. I can sort of see the logic there, but they're not *really* the same thing. 3) non-"tei:" schemes in @source are discouraged, but what if your source isn't a TEI release? I've got a couple of these, and I'd like to be able to put a URI in there without being yelled at. Hugh

Stylesheets 7.50.1
by Syd Bauman 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

This morning Martin & I released Stylesheets 7.50.1 on GitHub, Sourcefoge, and as the Debian packages. We did not release a new oXygen plug-in, as the bug that was fixed was part of the commandline `transformtei` script, which oXygen does not use to run the stylesheets. We (actually, Martin gets the credit) realized that our previous concern about the `tei-install.sh` program with respect to the oXygen plug-in was incorrect, so closed that ticket. Worth noting it took us nearly an hour, even though we had all the pieces ready to rock-and-roll. If we were doing this every week, it could be done a whole lot faster. But infamiliarity and insecurity makes it a slow process. Martin -- are there any updates we would recommend to TCW 22?
