Layout of medieval poetry with CSS
by Peter Baker 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I've been struggling with the problem of laying out medieval poetry in HTML using just CSS. The problem is with line numbers, which usually appear to the left (sometimes to the right) of the poem; yet the left margin of the poem should remain even, and lines should wrap nicely, with extra space on the left after a wrap. Much, perhaps most of the poetry I've seen on the web is laid out with tables, which is a bad hack, and less than ideal in several different ways. For my online Old English anthology site I worked out a system which is just barely okay: but it tends to fall apart under stress--i.e. when a browser window is made too narrow. Since I've been trying to format poetry so it displays well on an iPhone or other small screen, this will not do. Here's my solution, with a screenshot. It still seems less than ideal, and my question for anyone who has struggled to present medieval poetry well on screen, is whether you have a system that is better and are willing to share it here. My current solution involves enclosing each line in a div with class "vl" (verse-line). *Numbered* lines, on the other hand, go in a div with class "vln" (numbered-verse-line). The <div class="vln"> lines start with a div containing the line number. So here: <div class="vl"> hrēran mid hondum hrīmcealde sǣ, </div> <div class="vln"> <div>5</div> wadan wræclāstas. Wyrd bið ful ārǣd. </div> Now the CSS: div.vl {margin-left:6em; text-indent: -2em;} div.vln {margin-left:6em; text-indent: -6em;} div.vln div {float:left; width:4em; color:black;} And that gives you something like the attached: good on an iPhone or a computer (Firefox, Safari, Opera, *probably* IE but I haven't tested there yet). I also have a variant for Old English hypermetric lines but won't bore you with that. Things I don't like: having different classes for lines with and without line numbers; having the line-number div inside the line div (the alternatives I've tried tend to break *somewhere*). It would be nice if the line numbers somehow escaped being copied to the clipboard with the text, but that would surely be asking too much. If anyone is interested in sharing solutions, I'd be very grateful! Peter Baker

Fwd: EpiDoc SoSOL training news
by Dot Porter 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Forwarded from the Markup listserv, apologies for cross-posting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabriel Bodard <gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk> Date: Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 3:03 PM Subject: [MARKUP] EpiDoc SoSOL training news To: MARKUP(a)lsv.uky.edu As many of you will already know (welcome to 12 new list-members!) there was a very successful EpiDoc/SoSOL trainig session last week in London. Twelve professional papyrologists were trained in the use of the new SoSOL tool(*) for tags-free markup of documentary texts. In the process, c.100 texts were painlessly added to the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri. I'd like to remind people that another EpiDoc+SoSOL training week is planned as part of the DHO summer school (June 28-July 2), on which see http://dho.ie/ss2010/ . If any of you might be interested in attending this workshop (cost is €300 for students, €400 waged--we hope to have a couple bursaries to help with the cost), or in sending a student or colleague to be trained in epigraphic or papyrological markup, please write to the local organizers and/or myself as soon as possible to express your interest. Registration is still open, but we need to have a good idea of numbers in the next couple weeks. *Please circulate this invitation widely.* In the meantime, we're happy to receive feedback, questions and other reactions relating to this training or SoSOL in general on this list. (*) on the Papyrological Editor: see http://papyri.info/editor/ or http://sosol.sourceforge.net/ or http://idp.atlantides.org/trac/idp/wiki/SoSOL . Full documentation to follow soon.

The goal of the project is to create a web site that weaves together the journals of the participants into a picture that answers the question, 3Just what do computing humanists really do?2 Participants will document their day through photographs and commentary in a blog-like journal. The collection of these journals with links, tags, and comments will make up the final work which will be published online. On March 18th, participants will document and share the events of their day. However participants will also become co-authors, and the direction of the entire project will be influenced by their choices, both before and after the day of documentation. Eventually, the data will be grouped together, undergo some light semantic editing, and released for others to study. We hope that, beyond the original online publication, the raw data will be of use to those interested in further visualization or ethnographic experiments.

I think it is a rule somewhere. If they'd chosen the day before or after it would turn out that you needed to move your grocery day just that week. I'll be driving between New Haven and New York that day, I think. ----------- Daniel O'Donnell University of Lethbridge (From my mobile telephone) --- original message --- From: "Hinton" <normanhinton(a)sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [dm-l] Day of Digital Humanities Date: March 11, 2010 Time: 10:42:58 Oh, good ! that's the day I do the weekly grocery shopping. Then I guess I 'll come home and think about the Middle Ages for a while, before turning on Olbermann and Maddow.
