@emchateau thanks for the hint to David J. Birnbaum's collection!

Funny coincidence, I am just on my way to what will surely be a wonderful and productive workshop on #Collation and #Visualisation (lorentzcenter.nl/seeing-the-di), and am reading (and can recommend) a #Balisage paper by said D. Birnbaum & Ronald Dekker in preparation: doi.org/10.4242/BalisageVol29.

I will check out the #XSLT learning resources you mentioned and the ones other might still mention during the week, thanks again!

I have been doing #XML stuff this week, specifically #TEI. I know a lot of people don't really like #XSLT, but it reminded me that when you're working with something that's not just structured data but a stream of text where some or all of the markup is part of the flow then that hybrid imperative/declarative model works really well for representing the full range of transformations you might want to make.

Would be interested to know if there are good modern alternatives.

I hadn't heard of it before, but it turns out there's a style format called XSLT that allows the browser to translate an XML file into HTML with CSS styling for display purposes.

Since my feed is Atom rather than RSS, I had a bit of trouble, but this post was helpful:

I figured out how to get my RSS feed to be human-readable and nice-looking!

I'd been wanting to do this to give people who aren't familiar with RSS an easier on-ramp to the stuff I care about.

I figure if someone new to RSS clicks on the link and just gets raw XML, they might think something is “broken” and not stick around, but now there's something human-readable and with instructions on how to follow it in a reader.

gitlab.com/crosswire-bible-soc these are my repositories. CzeKMS (aka CzeCSP now) is by far the most complicated one. I have usually had very complicated #XSLT stylesheet to convert from the author XML to #OSIS, but it was unmaintainable and slow. Now with plain #Python SAX it works much better.

Also interesting is CzeBKR which is generated from Wikisource.

Der #XSLT-Reparaturprozess von via Dr.Explain erzeugten HTML-Ausgaben ist jetzt soweit produktiv, dass ich ihn auch auf die Studis loslassen kann.

Mehrfach-Transformationen komfortabel über ein oXygen-Projekt gelöst, d. h. alle HTML-Dokumente aus input werden nach output transformiert.

Die Umsetzung verwendet ein Identity-Template sowie weitere Templates für spezifische Anpassungen, wie es sich gehört. ;)
