XPath 2.0in EditiX
XML + XSL = HTML Web Page
EditiX and Oxygen have built-in transformProcessors so that you can applyXSLT scripts to your XML transcription at any time during your tagging work
You cannot change the HTML web-page. It is frozen. However, it doeshighlight for you any potential problems
Our Portfolio of Essential Files
transcription.xml the text you are transcribing.4431.dtd is our Document Type Description which lists in alphabeticorder the elementsand their attributes which we have chosen from the TEI P5 guidelines mat/table.xsl is our main transform program for the whole manuscript and for individual books. It differs from our specialised XSLT programs (which include the XSLTransform: glossary.xsl for rendering a table of glosses from all those we have typed-in inline). Please be careful when downloading XSLTransform files because some systems (especially on Windows) add a further file extension of .xml after the .xsl.
classes.css is our full list of class definitions for our cascading style-sheet which renders font size and colour on the final web version.
javascript.js is CM's JavaScript or ECMAScript code for the interactive glosses and name pop-up windows.
fleur.png is the triangular red notes pointer image for the web versions of the online Harley transcription:
get.html is the pilot version of our Glossary File and system which passes a link to the DMF2 at our partner laboratory ATILF.
But for the ‘grand public” we need a way out of the building-site
A Native XML DatabaseNative, so we do not have to do any additional coding beyond our TEI P5 XML
