Record View

Displaying your TEI records as HTML

Changing the HTML output is as simple as editing the existing XSLT stylesheets and CSS. Default stylesheets can be found in resources/xslt/tei2html.xslt. Record views can use the default XSLT, XQuery or custom XSLT. Change the setting in the repo-config.xml if you would like to use something other then resources/xslt/tei2html.xslt.

The HTML page

record.html is where your TEI data will be rendered.

You can display the full TEI:

<div data-template="app:display-nodes" data-template-paths="descendant::tei:TEI"/>

Or you can choose to 'chunk' your data, giving you the ability to move data around on the page. <div data-template="app:display-nodes" data-template-paths="descendant::tei:placeName"/> <div data-template="app:display-nodes" data-template-paths="descendant::tei:location"/>

Or you can customize your own display functions in app.xql

Sample custom function:

declare function app:h1($node as node(), $model as map(*)){
    let $title := tei2html:tei2html($model("hits")/descendant::tei:titleStmt/tei:title[1])
    let $author := tei2html:tei2html($model("hits")/descendant::tei:titleStmt/tei:author[not(@role='anonymous')])
    return  
        <div class="title">
            <h1>{$title}</h1>
        </div>
};

Additional Options for Record HTML pages

Relationships

Internal Relationships are defined in the tei:relation element of the current TEI record. To add to HTML page as a sentence:

<div data-template="app:internal-relationships" data-template-display="sentence"/>

Sentence display will attempt to translate the relation element into an English sentence. Example:

<relation ref="syriaca:hasLiteraryConnectionToPlace" active="http://syriaca.org/person/13" passive="http://syriaca.org/place/502 http://syriaca.org/place/216 http://syriaca.org/place/1450 http://syriaca.org/place/1451" source="#bib13-2">
 <desc xml:lang="en">This author has a literary connection to places.</desc>
</relation>

becomes:

Ephrem has literary connection to place Izmīd, Ḥarran, Kalkh, Hanzīṭ.

or using 'list-description' which lists each related record separately

<div data-template="app:internal-relationships" data-template-display="list-description"/>

becomes:

Ephrem  
( Qadishe: A Guide to the Syriac Saints A Guide to Syriac Authors )
"Deacon, poet, and theologian."
URI: http://syriaca.org/person/13

Izmīd —

Ḥarran — 
"Syr./Hebrew Ḥārān; Latin Carrhae; Arabic Ḥarran. Ancient city in Mesopotamia, approximately 45 km south-southeast of Edessa."
URI: http://syriaca.org/place/216

External Relationships - Find any relationships mentioning current URI Add to HTML page: <div data-template="app:external-relationships"/> To change or update functions you will need to edit: module/lib/get-related.xqm

D3js visualizations - plug relationships into the d3js visualizations module

Maps - for the current record

Serialization options

Output options can be specified in the HTML page using the app:other-data-formats() function.

Example:

<div data-template="app:other-data-formats" data-template-formats="print,tei,rdf,text"/>

Options will be displayed in order listed in the above function. Currently available formats:

  • print - sends page to printer, uses print.css for styles.
  • tei - Print TEI to screen
  • rdf - RDF XML
  • ttl - Turtle triples
  • text - Plain text of record
  • json - JSON-LD for record

<button class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#feedback">Corrections/Additions?</button> <div data-template="app:contact-form" data-template-collection="places"/>
