Re: [tei-council] chaining for idiots

Lou— I just read through it and thought it was clear, concise, and helpful with the TEI-bare examples. You’re probably aware of a couple of unfinished patches: Is the link to the Deutsches Text Archiv ODD (linked as “I don’t know where”) actually this? http://media.dwds.de/dta/media/schema/basisformat.odd http://media.dwds.de/dta/media/schema/basisformat.odd There’s a spot where you say "you should see a list of elements like this:” and then we never see the list of elements. I agree with James—it’ll help to indicate “Who is this for?”—but one further note: Maybe with very little addition this could serve as an introduction to the Stylesheets for those who’ve not experimented with them before?

Quick skim, looks good. Might you consider a section at the top for "Who Is This For?" mentioning that the idiots in e question are likely to be those who are sophisticatedly writing their own ODD schemas that variants of existing ODDs?

I.e. if you are just looking to customise TEI this isn't something you need to know, it is for a whole different class of idiot. Like me, Hugh, SusanneH, etc.

Thanks to James and Hugh for patient and helpful input during its composition. No thanks at all to SNCF for causing me to lose half of the first draft by braking suddenly on the train here on Friday. But above all thanks to everyone on Council who takes time to give it a quick read and makes suggestions for topics as yet uncovered, or covered inadequately!
