Notes

Iliad 2.4: ὡς αχέας should be ὡς ταχέας.

Scratch

Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος

οὐλομένην· ἡ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκεν·

πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν

ἡρώων· αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν

οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι· Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή·

Challenges

• Make an HTML page for Iliad Book 1, diplomatic edition.
• Make a series of HTML pages for each of the 24 books of the Iliad.
• Make a series of HTML pages for the whole Iliad, with 25 lines on each page, or fewer if you are the end of a Book. Be sure each pages identifies the Book and range of lines displayed.
• Ditto, but including both Diplomatic and Normalized exemplars. Grab a URN, do dropexemplar; do a filter using urncontains.
• Ditto, but when the Diplomatic and Normalized exemplars match, just show the Diplomatic line.
• Ditto, but when the two exemplars differ, wrap the differing substrings in a <span> element.
• Format that result so it looks cool. The trick will be to use CSS to make the Normalized" line be completely transparent, except for the <span> element. And to do some fun color-thing on those <span> elements.

A Function that might work!

function wrap_differences_with_span(stringA::String, stringB::String)::String
    lenA = length(stringA)
    lenB = length(stringB)
    max_len = max(lenA, lenB)
    resultA = ""
    resultB = ""
    in_diff = false

    for i in 1:max_len
        charA = i <= lenA ? stringA[i] : ""
        charB = i <= lenB ? stringB[i] : ""
        
        if charA != charB
            if !in_diff
                resultA *= "<span>"
                resultB *= "<span>"
                in_diff = true
            end
            resultA *= charA
            resultB *= charB
        else
            if in_diff
                resultA *= "</span>"
                resultB *= "</span>"
                in_diff = false
            end
            resultA *= charA
            resultB *= charB
        end
    end

    # Close any remaining open <span> tags
    if in_diff
        resultA *= "</span>"
        resultB *= "</span>"
    end

    # Return the result
    if stringA == stringB
        return stringA
    else
        return resultA * "\r" * resultB
    end
end

# Example usage
result1 = wrap_differences_with_span("hello, hello", "hallo, hallo")
println(result1)  # Output: "h<span>e</span>llo, h<span>e</span>llo\rh<span>a</span>llo, h<span>a</span>llo"

Suggested Workflow

• Get Diplomatic passages.
• Get URNs for each book of the Iliad, using URN-arithmatic
• Map each book, using filter using urncontains. You will have "citablePassage" objects, with a URN and a text.
• Do "sliding" on those.
• Then map each "window" to HTML.
