strange OxGarage transformation TEIP5 to PDF

Dear all, I was trying to produce a PDF from a TEI P5 document but get irritating results from OxGarage (both at http://www.tei-c.org/oxgarage/ and http://oxgarage.oucs.ox.ac.uk:8080/ege-webclient/), i.e. there is almost no text structure and everything in a monospaced font. When checking the (documents) transformation from "TEI P5 XML Document“ to „PDF“, it seems, the transformation path OxGarage takes is actually TEIP5->Plain Text->PDF which leads to the strange results. Can someone confirm this? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance Peter

Just to remind you all that the oxgarage.oucs.ox.ac.uk one is several TEI and XSLT versions out of date and will be going away. I can confirm that the TEI to PDF conversion seems to be going via plain text... which is ridiculous and as Peter notes, 'leads to the strange results' Something broken in the bit of oxgarage that decides the pipeline? -James On 06/06/17 13:27, Peter Stadler wrote:

Please, no. I didn't write OxGarage, I only understand some bits of it. If I'm right the TEI to Latex config bit is at: https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage/blob/master/tei-converter/src/main/java/pl/... But the auto-determined pipeline is done elsewhere when it tries to find the shortest path. Why it seems to think that should be via plain text eludes me when we clearly have a direct version of that. Hard coded direct transformations are usually in https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage/blob/master/ege-xsl-converter/src/main/reso... but TEI to Latex or PDF isn't there so must be handled separately. -James

I just created a ticket at https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage/issues/10 but I do not have the appropriate rights to assign Hugh to it. Could somebody with super powers help out? Best Peter

Assigned it to Hugh but also added TEI Technical Council team to be admins on this repo. -James On 26/06/17 15:49, Peter Stadler wrote:

Also went through the repositories and where TEI Technical Council team weren't admin on a repo, I made them so. (Something to remember to do when setting up new repositories.... You too can now administrate the tei-emacs repo... ;-) ) -James On 26/06/17 15:51, James Cummings wrote:
