I would like to solicit opinions re the current TEI filter set. I am heavily writing filters just now for LaTeX so have gained some level of insight in how they work.
At the current rate the teixhtml filter produces for the vast bulk of TEI tags either <i>s or <b>s. With little distinction and no graphical enhancement. And yet TEI is very featureful + modules written in TEI could be with relatively little effort be quite pretty. A father garish attempt from long ago wrt handling of TEI with CSS is here: http://www.crosswire.org/~refdoc/private/abash.html This is the TEI entry from Webster1913 for "abash", unaltered, slapped between a start and end html tag, with some css thrown across it. I do not say it is pretty, but it shows what amount of info comes along with TEI. So, my thought is that the engine might be coaxed to give a little bit more info - either by differentiating a bit the xhtml used or by adding class attributes to the existing output. Any thoughts - particularly from frontend developers? What would be your preferred way forward? more and different html? more css class information, both? I will put no promise of a timescale onto completion - just that I can do this whenever I am able to come round to it. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
