Hurray, more XML! Some time ago (in February 2004), I'd already prepared The Einstein Theory of Relativity by H.A. Lorentz as http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/11335 This was also posted in XML with derived text and HTML. Jeroen. Joshua Hutchinson wrote:
Thanks to some back and forth with David Widger, we have posted a text to the PG archives that is basically the XML with its straight from conversion txt, html and pdf files.

For those interested: This book (Kitab-i-Aqdas) is a religious book from the Baha'i Faith. The text is freely available from the Baha'i website with a usage license that allows us to post the text to our archive as long as we don't make any content changes. I've basically converted it from the Microsoft Word format they posted in to a PGTEI based master and used that to create text in UTF-8, Latin-1 and 7-bit ASCII, html and pdf.
Regarding the XML. The XML file can be found in the 16523-x subdirectory. These files are not designed to be read directly in a web browser like IE or Firefox. They are plain text files and open just fine in Notepad or vi or any other text editor of choice. For those wishing to play with the XML, our online validator and conversion tools can be found here:
Besides wanting to celebrate the first XML posting ;) ... I'm also looking for contructive criticism. What doesn't look right? What problems do you see with the results?
