Re: [gutvol-d] A layman's critique of PGTEI
My apologies. I ran both Tidy and the Validator on the file (as is my normal HTML procedure, so it is second nature). Tidy reported 13 warnings. The W3C validator just show one (which you mention below). I misspoke when I said the errors were all from the validator. Now, from your comments, it looks like the next thing to do is decide on a standard title page. I personally, don't have a problem with the format you have. It is clean and easy to read. There are some things, as I mentioned before, that I would change on a CSS level, but generally, I like the layout well enough.

At present there is a known bug in the title page. The converter produces a H1 inside a SPAN. (The SPAN should be a DIV or the H1 should be dropped.)
This is a thing i would like to postpone until we are agreed about how to format a title page. There are far too many ways you can do that according to the specs. Supporting them all will be very difficult.
I didn't get any other warnings running your example thru the validator. Can you mail me the output of the validator with "show code" enabled?
I'd also like to request a change to the CSS used, but that is a personal preference and something to really worry about after the show-stoppers are fixed.
The CSS is in an external file. You can make your own.

The title page you see is automatically generated from the teiHeader inside the <divGen type="titlepage"> transformation. You can also have a custom title page if you replace the <divGen> with your own <div> like this: <div type="titlepage"> <docTitle>Hamster Hooey and his Gooey Kablooie</docTitle> <p>by</p> <docAuthor><name>Maple Syrup</name></docAuthor> <p> bla bla </p> </div> I didn't get very far implementing custom title pages because I have always worked from the PG text only. I never did see any real title page of a PG book and have no notion of how funny they get. If you can spare the time, it would help immensely if you could grab some representative scanned title pages at DP and put them up somewhere for everybody to see so we could discuss how to mark them up. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
