Separate grouping for certain <add> items

[wujastyk]

Dear Charles,
Deepro has some manuscripts where there are marginal notes. And the same marginal note appears in more than one witness. Saktumiva already represents <add> content in red in the apparatus. We would like these marginal notes to be collated but also to be distinguished or marked off in some way in the apparatus. Perhaps in a different colour, or size or location. Can that be done?

Input will probably be something like this:

   <l xml:id="SS.1.14.1">athātaḥ śoṇitavarṇanīyam
                        adhyāyaṃ vyākhyāsyāmaḥ <add type="commentary" place="margin">.Hello wirld!</add>|| </l>

So type="commentary" is distinguishing these additions from other more generic scribal additions.

At the moment, this looks like the following:

Have you perhaps had to think about such issues in the context of your Paris paratexts project?

I think I've been using <note> for marginal annotations. That way I can easily separate annotations from additions (i.e., corrections). Do you use <note> for anything else?

[wujastyk]

Deepro has been doing the same. But they don't get collated, do they? In tests yesterday we got a funny output with collation but in the main text-body, not in the right margin. But we tried several options and to be honest I now can't be sure which result was which. But I know we never quite got what Deepro is after.

[chchch]

<note> is set to ignore all by default; I think if you set it to ignore tags only you should get the right output.

[wujastyk]

Ah, we tried "include" and didn't get what we wanted. Deepro - try "ignore tags".

[chchch]

include means it includes the actual XML tags when it does the collation... it can be a little unpredictable at the moment, and probably works best for empty tags like <lb/>. I'll eventually get around to rewriting the collation algorithm...

[chakrabortydeepro]

Thanks for the response, Charles.
I tried it with ignore tags only and it works.
For example, I have three similar notes on mss B₁, B₂ and B₃. And I assigned the same xml:ids to these notes. On the apparatus of the the main edition I see them as three different additions:

But on the page of a transcribed ms, it collates with other ones.

However, there are some issues with the font:

[chchch]

It looks like maybe you're missing an <l> or <lg> tag? If you let me know which file it is I can take a look.

[chakrabortydeepro]

Thanks for your response, Charles. I didn't use the <lg> tag here. But there is a <l> tag.

The example is from
berline.12433.txt
<l xml:id="BBP-1.1.1.1.10">

Do you have a link to saktumiva.org?

[chakrabortydeepro]

yes. Here: https://saktumiva.org/wiki/chakraborty/balabodhini/sandhiprakarana/berlin12433?upama_ver=he0rzpn8xb

[chchch]

Ah I see... you have nested xml:ids which makes it complicated to collate. So I guess you should either put the note in a separate <p>, or remove the xml:ids on the note, so that it gets collated together with the verse.

[chakrabortydeepro]

Ah, I understand now. Thank you very much, Charles. I removed the xml:ids. And it works well now. I have another problem with the collation. In a verse, ms B₂ reads *dhātum *at the place of *dātum. *On the edition page <https://saktumiva.org/wiki/chakraborty/balabodhini/sandhiprakarana/edition?upama_ver=he0phtdaju>, it collates against a daṇḍa at the end of the previous line. [image: Screenshot from 2023-05-16 13-24-20.png] And it shows that there is no variation in dātum. [image: Screenshot from 2023-05-16 13-29-34.png] And the pop-up window shows a wrong transcription. [image: image.png] B₂ was not transcribed as *dhātum dātu*m. There is just one word, *dātum*. Do you know why this is happening?

[chchch]

Hmm... that might be a bug in the program. Do you get the same problem if you remove the daṇḍa or the <caesura/>?

[chakrabortydeepro]

After removing the daṇḍa in the main edition, it works well.

[chchch]

Ok let me take a look at the code... for now, maybe try |<caesura/> or <caesura/>dātuṃ or |<caesura/>dātuṃ in the edition to see if it fixes it temporarily.

[chakrabortydeepro]

Thanks, Charles. Yes, I tried |<caesura/>. It works.
