validity of newly <msDesc>-only elements
by s.bauman＠northeastern.edu 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Per previous deprecation (see #1479), I went to change the deprecation of the use of <secFol>, <signatures>, or <catchwords> outside of <msDesc> to an error. HOWEVER, when we do that we get validation errors on <egXML> that has only one of those three elements without any context. SO I changed the actual Schematron to <sch:assert test="ancestor::tei:msDesc or parent::teix:egXML"> The <sch:name/> element should not be used outside of msDesc. </sch:assert> and changed the 2 <egXML>s that had <catchwords> as a descendant, but not child, so that they each contain an <msDesc> wrapper. I'm not entirely sure why that works -- I thought example validation was done by changing the namespace of each example to the TEI namespace and then validating against a (modified) TEI schema. But perhaps I'm wrong about that, or perhaps it's smart enough to change the teix: prefix to be the TEI namespace, too. Anyway, it seems to be working now, but because of other problems is only checked into the new sydb-endDeprecation_2018-10-01 branch. (Thanks to Hugh for helping me straighten out my git headaches.)

Customization section of TEI
by Mylonas, Elli 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

There is a section of TEI under the "Guidelines" menu item called Customization. Issue 1813 https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1813 points out some problems that are eminently fixable. However, what Syd and I were unable to determine is where the source lives (other than on disk) and how to edit the file(s). Help appreciated. Signing off as the September Issue Assigner. best, --elli

changing branch tracking?
by Syd Bauman 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Attn: Hugh I made a lot of changed to my local dev branch today for tomorrow's removal of macroSpec/@type allowing <catchwords>, <secFol>, and <signatures> outside of <msDesc> data.*.xml There were problems that will probably break the build (more about those later -- probably as soon as this is dealt with :-), so I decided I should have used a different branch. So I issued: $ git reset --keep HEAD~3 $ git checkout -t -b sydb-deprecationEnd_2018-10-01 $ git cherry-pick ..HEAD@{2} It looks like it *mostly* worked: $ git status -uno | Your branch is ahead of 'dev' by 3 commits. | (use "git push" to publish your local commits) | nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files) But there are 2 problems: 1) A typo. That "HEAD~3" was supposed to be a "HEAD~5" 2) The 'dev' in that status output makes me worry that if I do a `git push`, these changes would get pushed to dev, not the new sydb-deprecationEnd_2018-10-01 branch. I was smart enough to make a backup of my entire repository before doing this, so I can go back and fix my 3/5 mistake easily. But I thought the point of the -t switch was to set up tracking so that my local sydb-deprecationEnd_2018-10-01 tracks a similarly named branch on the remote (GitHub). Apparently not. What do I do to make that work?

Referring to the TEI Stylesheets on the web
by Peter Stadler 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hi Council, hi Martin, the subject is a little misleading, so let me explain the issue (sorry, lengthy again): Say, you want to build the TEI Guidelines but don’t have the TEI Stylesheets installed/downloaded on your machine. In the Makefile (under TEI/P5) you’ll find the following lines ``` XSL=/usr/share/xml/tei/stylesheet # If you have not installed the Debian packages, uncomment one # of the next two lines: #XSL=../Stylesheets/release/tei-xsl/p5 #XSL=http://www.tei-c.org/stylesheet/release/xml/tei ``` which suggests that you can point to an online resource for the Stylesheets (see the last line of the code snippet). Yet, that does not work and probably never(!) worked, because in the ant built file (TEI/P5/antbuilder.xml) the stylesheets are called like ``` <xslt processor="trax" force="yes" style="${XSL}/odds/odd2json.xsl" in="p5subset.xml" out="p5subset.js“> ``` i.e. the respective stylesheet is pointed to from the @style attribute. But this @style attribute can not (and probably never could) refer to an URI, see https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/style.html <https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/style.html> – only filenames. URIs can be consumed by the ANT XSLT task, but then we’d need to replace the @style attribute with a nested style element. When using a nested style element (with an appropriate url element), we’re getting in trouble with our current practice which is to only use relative paths (almost) everywhere but without providing a proper scheme. This seems like a whole can of worms and I already tried several things but nothing really worked without rewriting too much code. Any comments and/or ideas are welcome Peter

Who am I supposed to ask for the TEI-C GPG key passphrase? Whoever it is, could you send it (off list) to me or Raff? Thanks! (Unless you already have it, Raff.)

when to meet? Doodle poll invite
by Syd Bauman 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Per Martina, here is our Doodle poll for scheduling future TEI Council monthly teleconference calls. This poll is only about which day of week and what time, not about 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, last, or whatever week of month. All times are UTC, and thus shift an hour for DST. 12:00Z, earliest time ------- -------- ---- 07:00 EST, 08:00 EDT 12:00 GMT, 13:00 BST 13:00 CET, 14:00 CEST 21:00Z, latest time ------- ------ ---- 16:00 EST, 17:00 EDT 21:00 GMT, 22:00 BST 22:00 CET, 23:00 CEST I can't speak for others, but here in USA [1] we will "fall back" from DST to standard time on Sun 04 Nov; except that Florida is trying to exempt itself from ever using standard time -- they want to use DST all year. So Sarah, you should keep abreast of that. A good list of time changes is available at https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2018.html Notes ----- [1] Except for AZ and HI, which do not observe DST at all. But we don't have any Council members in either of those states. :-)

Stylesheets release freeze -- better late than never
by Syd Bauman 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

We have just created the release branch for Stylesheets (which we should have done last week). So feel free to push to 'dev' branch, but nothing should go to 'release-7.46.0' branch unless approved by me or Raff. Could Martin & Peter create appropriate jobs in Jenkins, please? Thanks.
