Ok, I leave the computer for one night and you all go nuts with the posts! :) hehe Anyway, as one of the people working on PGTEI, I figure this discussion could use an update where things stand. Currently, my efforts have concentrate on two fronts. 1 - Converting those texts that come through me from DP into PGTEI master format. I then use the online PGTEI -> HTML conversion routine to convert them to HTML for posting to PG. Most of them are not converted to TEXT simply because someone else at DP did the text version before I got to them. In other words, I've been mostly concentrating on the PGTEI format itself and the HTML output that results from it. Here is a recent link to a posted book... from off the top of my head. There are many more I just don't have the list here on this computer. (Last count there were 20+ documents that I've put in PGTEI format sitting on my computer... most of which have been posted to the PG archives in HTML and/or TEXT format.) http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/9/8/14986/14986-h/14986-h.htm Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 This is a pretty straightforward text, but it has an automatically produced Table of Contents and the generated footnotes, so it gives some idea of where we are at. One of the things I plan on fixing in the future is the lack of links from the footnote text BACK to the footnote anchor in the main text. 2 - Updating/expanding the PGTEI documentation. I've got more notes than I know what to do with and many many pages of additional documentation written in a rough draft. *** The eventual end I am hoping for is a standard encoding that makes conversion to other formats easy and quick. For instance, one of my next projects will be to take on of the VERY nasty math texts that DP has produced in TeX format and convert it to PGTEI. TEI uses TeX encoding for the math equations themselves, but the rest of the formatting is a little more intuitive AND because of the validation routines we have available, much easier to develop and fix. But, since I haven't tried the TeX on a massive scale yet within a PGTEI document, I don't know what bugs and gotchas I'm going to find. If there are any questions (or if anyone wants to see some of the PGTEI documents I've created, rough drafts of the documentation I've working on, etc), please let me know. Josh
