Where's the debian package for guiguts?
There's not one, but that's why it's called in-house code and we can talk to the programers if we need help. But there are several Debian packages for programs that can check and display HTML.
PG has an implementation of TEI. I know you don't like it because you haven't figured out how to produce pretty title pages.
Ohh. Pleeeeease!
So you attack people for having made complaints that were perfectly valid when they were made? Unless you're going for the martyr award, I hardly see how that's productive.
Eg. the index entries are still linked to the *page* they reference, while it was technically possible for decades now to go directly to the word.
If they are still linked to the page instead of the word, it's because the PPer looked at a 50 page index and decided that there was no way they were going to wade through there and try and find where on the page the link was intended to go to for 20,000 references. HTML and TEI are no different here.
Eg. geografic tagging. While visiting someplace you may want to find all book references that refer to the place you are in.
Maybe. There's a very real question whether it's worth the man-power to mark this up, and it's really a bit of a gratuitous feature.
If people had started using TEI instead of griping endlessly about minor shortcomings, we might have now a complete TEI workflow in place.
If you had listened to the needs of the people who you wanted to start using TEI instead of bitching about them and their requirements, maybe they would have started using TEI. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
