Separate panels

[dirkroorda]

Translations, notes, and choice/add/del elements should be taken out of the main flow of the text.

On the interface we need several panels, one for the main flow, and several for the other flows.

There are links between the data in the various flows, for example the paragraph ids in main and translation flows define the correspondence.

We need:

• definition of the flows (the data)
• definition of the panels (the interface)
• definition of the data links
• definition of how flows map onto panels

There are other concerns: what should be indexed in what index?
How many separate indexes do we need?

Translations, notes, and choice/add/del elements should be taken out of the main flow of the text.

Choice/add/del can remain in main flow

For now we propose these panels

• original text
• translated text
• notes
• title
• metadata
• address

There are other concerns: what should be indexed in what index? How many separate indexes do we need?

The indexes maybe deserve their own issue.

What about the divs with type postalData ?

[pboot]

Sources of panels (in XML terms)
original text: from /TEI/text/body/div[@type='original']
translated text: from /TEI/text/body/div[@type='translation']
notes: from TEI/standOff/listAnnotation[xml:lang='en']
title panel: from /TEI/teiHeader/fileDesc/titleStmt/title
metadata: from /TEI/teiHeader
postalData: from /TEI/text/body/div[@type='postalData']

Most important indications for rendering:

To be treated as div:
listAnnotation, postscript

To be treated as paragraph:
opener, closer, p, address, note

To be treated as alternatives (e.g. first option in text, second as alt text):
choice with underlying elements (orig and reg, abbr and expan, multiple unclears)

Other remarks

• Special markup from rend-attribute on hi element (e.g. underline, superscript, etc, in space-separated list; ignore values 'right' and 'left'; we will deliver a full list in another issue)
• ptr in text points to note. To be rendered e.g. as note number (see n attribute on corresponding note)
• space element indicates extra whitelines: unless rend='norend'
• add newline after dateline element
• rs element to be rendered as hyperlink, but leave href empty for now

Content of metadata panel for now:
All TEI elements below /TEI/teiHeader/fileDesc/sourceDesc and /TEI/teiHeader/fileDesc/profileDesc:
if the element has non-whitespace text content, to be displayed as
element name colon text content
e.g.
name: Gerrit Willem Knap

W.r.t. the alternatives: more detail in issue 19: #19 (comment)
