1823 Letters with Issues #29
Description
Letters with significant problems (more than minor, easily correctible white space problems) that are currently posted on Digital Mitford site for the year 1823. @brookestewart
Common Issues:
- handnotes are not treated consistently with the
<handNote>element. (Sometimes people are using<note>elements instead.) <place>used instead of<placeName>- Hey, why is Charles Kemble still a stub in the SI? Let's fix that now(!)
- NOTE problem of site index entries NOT showing when the entry points to more than one referent.
- Address lineation isn't consistent: Sometimes big/multiple(?) spaces between lines, and sometimes single-spaced. The multiple spaces are generated by coders (incorrectly) using
<lb/>in addition to<addrLine>. 2018-01-24 REPAIRED: We had an<lb/>element inside<addrLine>in the DMTEI letter template file - Random periods after extensive space at the ends of letters--what's generating these? (Jan 13 and Feb 28 1823)
- Pen Annotator notes are not appearing distinctly from other kinds of notes. Address this in XSLT and CSS so we clearly distinguish who's leaving these notes.
<add hand="somebody">needs to be accounted for. - Change the XSLT so that metamark elements are output BEFORE the
<span class="add">which elevates the text above the line. - Deleted names, even though si-referenced, do not generate pop-up notes. See 24 August 1823, Mr. Bewick.
- Deleted sic-reg words are BOTH showing together like this: shewnshown . See Jan 13 1823, where the output HTML looks like this:
<span class="del"> (remember that this is in strict confidence & must not be shewnshownto any human being.)</span>
- Work on the XQuery to ensure that letters really are sortable by date. Currently the sort isn't working reliably (see 1823). Is this a datatype issue?
