In /editor there is a handy browser-based editor. Simply place your Github repository in a local web server and navigate to localhost/Abbott-Smith/editor/index.php, and you will find entries displayed in pretty HTML as well as a window to edit the file. Once you finish editing an entry click Save or Save and Next to proceed.
Once a complete page has been checked, open the raw xml file (abbott-smith.tei.xml), find the element for that page, and add your initials inside the comment (checked="[your initials here]").
Note: Mac users may need to change the permissions for abbott-smith.tei.xml to allow the web server to write to the file. Simply run:
sudo chmod 666 abbott-smith.tei.xml
This file describes and illustrates the TEI markup practices employed in this project. To contribute you must be familiar with the basics of how XML works. For an introduction, see http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_whatis.asp.
This project follows several markup practices. Here are several of the most important ones:
Every entry is nested in an <entry> element with an id (@n), which should be the Greek lemma, with a pipe | separating it from any Strong's numbers. If there are multiple options at the head of the entry, choose the first.
Nested within <entry> are several elements: <note type="occurrencesNT">, <form>, <gramGrp>, <etym>, <sense>, and <re>. <note type="occurrencesNT"> and <form> only appear once in each entry. Note that all text in the entry must fall within one of these six elements, not directly under <entry>.
When we have the data, we like to include occurrence data in the Greek NT for each lemma. See the word_list.md for this data.
Typically this will include all information prior to the first definition. A comma usually separates the form information from sense information.
This element is for gramatical information that does not involve the form of the word. If some grammatical information is given in the entry such as part of speech <pos> or some other subcategorization <subc>, it would be marked up in this way:
<gramGrp><pos>verb</pos>, <subc>intransitive</subc></gramGrp>
Etymology concerns the history of a word. Abbott-Smith regularly gives information about the derivation of a word and its use in the Septuagint. This information should fall within <sense>. For derivation information (usually marked by a less-than sign and another Greek word), it should be within <seg type="derivation">. Information about usage in the Septuagint should be within <seg type="septuagint">.
Anything related to the meaning of a word should occur in this element. Glosses (usually anything in italics) should also be within <gloss>. If sense numbers are given, include it in @n in <sense> but not in the text as it is written in the lexicon. That can be included later using XSL. Ideally all <sense> elements should be nested within a single <sense> element.
At the end of many entries is information about related words. In TEI, this information is placed within <re> for "related entry."
All page breaks are included in the file. After cleaning up a page, add your initials to the commented @typed field after the <pb> element. After checking a page, do the same under @checked. This is not valid TEI, so the attributes are commented out outside the <pb> element. A completed page should look like this:
<pb n="1" /> <!-- typed="ABC" checked="XYZ" -->
All text is assumed to be English (the analysis language) unless otherwise specified (or in <orth>. The <foreign> element can be used for this purpose. Examples include:
-
Greek:
<foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἀαρών</foreign> -
Aramaic:
<foreign xml:lang="arc">אַבָּא</foreign> -
Hebrew:
<foreign xml:lang="heb">אַהֲרוֹן</foreign> -
Latin:
<foreign xml:lang="lat">diligo</foreign>
If you do not know how to type a given language, such as Hebrew, include the following: <foreign xml:lang="heb">Hebrew</foreign>. Someone else can add the Hebrew later.
Biblical references should be marked up using this element.
Although Abbott-Smith uses superscript numbers for verses, this project does not. Instead, we use a colon to separate chapter and verse.
For biblical book names in @osisRef, use SBL abbreviations. See http://www.textonline.org/textstyleguidelines.
Examples include:
<ref osisRef="Luke.1.5">Lk 1:5</ref>
<ref osisRef="Mark.1.14-Mark.1.15">Mk 1:14-15</ref>
<ref osisRef="1Chr.24.3 1Chr.24.10">I Ch 24:3, 10</ref>
-
For a dagger use † (see Preface of the lexicon for the meaning of this symbol)
-
For < use
< -
For > use
&rt; -
For superscript, use:
<hi rend="superscript"> -
For subscript, use:
<hi rend="subscript"> -
For an ampersand use
& -
For paragraphs use
<p>, and for line breaks within elements use<lb /> -
For italics that are not for a definition of the current entry, use
<emph>. This includes abbreviations of published sources as well as definitions of related terms.
