The rest of the style is as Marcello's converter made it. It is a bit verbose by some people's standards (almost everything has a class attribute), but this can be a very good thing because it now allows CSS to affect the layout/look of nearly every aspects of the document.
Everything has a class attribute because this way you can use the generated html in a web site -- eg. for an online reader -- and the book and site style will not clash. TODO: all generated styles should have the same prefix: pgtei.
3 - The TEI master uses rend="indent" markup in the poetry. This validates fine, but currently the TEI -> HTML converter basically ignores the indent markup. What I want to address here is how we want to have those indents converted.
I'm working on implementing indent and a few other rend attribute gimmicks. It will understand rend="indent" and rend="indent(n)" where n can be any positive or negative number.
5 - I used <lb /> to indicate a blank line of text (commonly called a thoughtbreak over at DP). Marcello's documentation indicates this isn't what it is truly meant for, though. Anyone see a problem with this implementation? Or see an improvement we should use instead?
<lb ed="first folio"> is meant to record line breaks in a certain edition like <pb>, not to output ones. To get a thought break enclose both "thoughts" in <divs>. <div type="chapter"> <head>1.</head> <div> <p></p> ... <p></p> </div> <!-- thought break will be inserted here --> <div> <p></p> ... <p></p> </div> </div> -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
