Re: [sword-devel] The OSIS element inscription ?

Wed, 21 Mar 2018 01:27:07 -0700

Hi DM, I am not sure I agree. For any number of reasons.

We do not copy the presentation as such usually, but normally tag semantically and then attach a presentation fitting to the original presentation. So if small caps is wrong maybe textTransform=capitalize as style, but ordinary text in the OSIS.

The main positive result of the change I propose is that the inscriptions turn up in searches, while they would not otherwise, unless one searches for capitalized text.

In the KJV, these are IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I think that we are both marking it semantically and having the text as given. I think this is correct.

I can see about rendering it differently. In the printed copy of the KJV, the letters are spaced a bit more than otherwise.

Small caps style makes no change to UPPER CASE letters. The inscription text would have to change to Proper Case. 

But wouldn't this deviate from the KJV Oxford Edition of Benjamin Blayney?

Hi DM,

I am thinking that the "correct" presentation is capitalisation. Or better small caps. Only to work the actual presentation needs to be taken out of the text as it stands. Right now KJV inscriptions are both tagged and capitalised. Can I ask for this being corrected?

Thanks

Peter

JSword -> Yes

No - I was just wondering whether we already did something in either SWORD or JSword.

The likelihood is low, and a yes/no answer would suffice.

cf. Examples of an inscription in Scripture include those in Acts 17:23 and Revelation 17:5 & 19:16.

btw. I'm aware that some front-ends support ancillary CSS files.

Best regards,

David

Easily done with CSS, I would do little else.

Do you have a list of occasions this could be used at?

Does SWORD contain any code to render text wrapped by the OSIS inscription element ?

Best regards,
