Features

The Framework has a specific visualization designed to make the encoding easier. Each verse (<l>) is rendered in a line, preceded by the verse number (@n) and a dash. The template to transcribe rhyming couplets has 5 empty <w> elements, which are visualized with a "w":

21- w w w w w

<l n="21"><w></w><w></w><w></w><w></w><w></w></l>  

To add content to the words just put the caret in that space and write. To pass from one word to the next one it is neccesary to press the forward key two times (one time gets you to the space between the two <w> elements, the second time into the next element). There is always an empty space between two words. Using the attributes @join and @part it is possible to indicate that two <w> elements constitue only one word token (see Functions). The attribute @part does not have a particular visualization, but when the attribute @join is used a dash is displayed between the corresponding <w> elements. This dash is only part of the visualization, it is not a character added to the xml:

21 - er en-minnet ez

Linebreaks (<lb>) are displayed in brackets showing the corresponding line number (@n). Manuscripts in which one line corresponds to one verse will have a linebreak at the beginning of the verse:

21-(10) w w w w w

<l n="21"><lb n="10"/><w></w><w></w><w></w><w></w><w></w></l>

Whenever you hover over a linebreak, the corresponding folio number will be displayed before the brackets, and will be hidden again when the cursor is removed:

21-2r(10)

Folio numbers correspond to the elements <pb> and <cb>. These elements are visualized in the framework in a smaller font-size as a reduced xml tag, only showing the name of the element and the attribute @n:

pb n="2r"

cb n="2r-a"

Stanzas (mostly rhyming couplets) are encoded with the element <lg> which is showed at the start with an lg occupying a whole line in a smaller font-size. The end of the <lg> is not displayed in the framework visualization.

Decorations and Initials are displayed with colors.

Styles

The styles make different visualizations of the abbreviations and regularizations. Show-abbr will only display the abbreviations in bold font (<am>) and hide the expansions (<ex>). Show-exp will only display the expansion in bold font (<ex>) and hide the corresponding abbreviations (<am>). You have to use only one of them (or none), never select both of them!. If you hover with the mouse over the abbreviation or expansion in bold, the corresponding expansion or abbreviation will be displayed in a smaller font size. You can even click on that space and edit the normally hidden text as long as the mouse pointer remains over the text.

Show-orig and Show-reg have exactly the same behaviour as Show-abbr and Show-exp, but regarding the elements <orig> and <reg>. You can select any one of them, but never both.
