Hi Syd, I just ran a build of your branch locally (make clean test html-web) and it worked. But ref-att.duration.iso.html is indeed missing from the Guidelines pages, and although it's referenced from ref-att.duration.html, the reference is not linked (presumably because the page isn't there). I'm not sure what happened to att.duration.iso -- is it supposed to be removed, and we're just looking at cleanup from that removal, or is it being excluded by accident somehow? Do we have a Stylesheets group meeting tomorrow morning? I have it in my calendar, but I'm on vacation so if we don't, I'd rather not get up at the crack of dawn.

When I went to actually nuke data.*.xml, I ran into a problem. There were two that were still referenced in the Guidelines: data.temporal.iso.xml and data.duration.iso.xml from ND.[1] I initially "fixed" this by just changing "data." to "teidata." on those two instances in ND. This broke the build horrifically -- the definitions of various attrs (like att.temporal.when.iso) now had *two* lists of possible values. Took some digging around but I found that the "correct" datatypes (teidata.duration.iso.xml, and teidata.temporal.iso.xml) were (incorrectly, I think) still being referenced from ST.

I commented out those references in ST, and the build was back to normal (and matches the prose). So that all seems good. BUT, there is still a problem. This means that there are several validation errors that have now crept in: memberOf points to non-existent att.duration.iso ident points to non-existent att.duration.iso ident points to non-existent att.duration.iso ident points to non-existent att.duration.iso ident points to non-existent att.duration.iso specDesc points to non-existent att.duration.iso

I am not quite sure what to do about this. While technically validation problems, they don't (I don't think) actually cause any difficulties when building outputs from the source.

So rather than check these changes into dev, I have (with Hugh's help) checked them into a new branch, sydb-endDeprecation_2018-10-01.

But we should decide what to do about this soon (measured in hours to days), as the deprecation period is now over.

One possibility (that I am leaning towards right now):

These errors are generated by the special-purpose validation routine P5/Utilities/validator.xsl, referred to in the Makefile with "Check validity with special-purpose XSL code, looking for bad links etc". We could simply update that code so it "knows" about these particular cases, and does not flag them as errors.

But before we even think of that, either

a) someone else who builds locally should checkout the sydb-endDeprecation_2018-10-01 branch and check that the build is working. (I only tested validate, html-web, and exemplars, I think.), or

b) we'll have to ask MH or PS to set up a Jenkins job for this branch. (Seems like overkill to me.)

Note-for-Vanessa ---------------- [1] The vast majority of the source files to Guidelines chapters are each stored in an XML file that starts with a 2-letter code. Thus I am using "ND" as shorthand for .../P5/Source/Guidelines/en/ND-NamesDates.xml where "..." is wherever on your system you keep the TEIC/TEI git repo. The chapter files are: * AB-About.xml * AI-AnalyticMechanisms.xml * CC-LanguageCorpora.xml * CE-CertaintyResponsibility.xml * CH-LanguagesCharacterSets.xml * CO-CoreElements.xml * DI-PrintDictionaries.xml * DR-PerformanceTexts.xml * DS-DefaultTextStructure.xml * FS-FeatureStructures.xml * FT-TablesFormulaeGraphics.xml * GD-GraphsNetworksTrees.xml * HD-Header.xml * MS-ManuscriptDescription.xml * ND-NamesDates.xml * NH-Non-hierarchical.xml * PH-PrimarySources.xml * SA-LinkingSegmentationAlignment.xml * SG-GentleIntroduction.xml * ST-Infrastructure.xml * TC-CriticalApparatus.xml * TD-DocumentationElements.xml * TS-TranscriptionsofSpeech.xml * USE.xml * VE-Verse.xml * WD-NonStandardCharacters.xml

Find them and fix them?
