# Intro and working notes for text25e1-01.xev
#
# TO DO
# 
# Text cleanup:
# 
#  ??? Convert to IVTFF notation.
#  ??? Insert ()s around ALL implicitly ligated groups: (ch), (cth), etc.
# 
#  ??? Check &-codes in "H" version against Tak's original full-2-lig.evt.
#  ??? Check ()-ligatures in "H" version against capitalization of full-2-lig.evt.
#  ??? Consider using C1,C2 for the [|]-alternatives of C, etc.
#  ??? Consolidate transcriptions [EIM] and [ZYS] into a single series.
#  ??? Make sure that uncontroversial layout markers are uniform across all versions.
#  ??? Replace <%%%...%%> by <***...**> when transcriber found it unreadable.
#  ??? Restore "'" for plumes instead of "~" (in <>-lines only!).
#  ??? Uniformize parag markers <=> across versions.
# 
#  ??? Check all weirdos in old transcriptions for recent EVA font code changes:
# 
# &{173} = old code of &{240}
# &{141} = old code of &{241}
# &{142} = old code of &{242}
# &{143} = old code of &{243}
# &{144} = old code of &{244}
# &{157} = old code of &{245}
# &{158} = old code of &{246}
#
# Alignment and consensus versions:
# 
#  ??? Find an encoding for ligatures suitable for majority/consensus voting.
#
# Locus partition and numbering:
# 
#  ??? Decide whether to split <f46v.P1.1> through <f46v.P1.7> as two columns.
#  ??? Decide whether to split <f78r.X1.5> as two labels.
#  ??? Decide whether to split <f84r.P2.15> into 10 nymph labels.
#  ??? Decide whether to split <f84r.P3.24> as 11 labels.
#  ??? Decide whether to split off <f82r.P2.18> as a title.
#  ??? In any case, split <f46v.P1.7> at gap.
#  ??? Make <f1r.K1.0> and other big red doodles into separate units.
#  ??? Renumber lines of <f85v2.Q1> from 1 instead of 0?
#  ??? Renumber pages to match the EVMT numbering?
#  ??? Revise the order of <f105r.T1.9a> and <f105r.P2.10>.
#  ??? Split off the final <s> of <f75v.P1.5> as <f75v.K1.5>.
#
# Invariants to check:
# 
#  ??? All lines end with proper delim [-=.,] (plus optional {}-comment).
#  ??? Check there is <FNN.NN.NN> header before each locus.
#  ??? Check there is a <fNN.NN> header before each unit.
#  ??? Letters, spaces, and [()] are never mixed in the same column.
#  ??? Lines ending with "." are text rings.
#  ??? No nested or mismatched [()] in non-# lines.
#  ??? No nested or mismatched [{}] in non-# lines.
#  ??? No two consecutive spaces [-=.,] after deleting all [!%]s (but not [*]s).
# 
# Comment cleanup:
# 
#  ??? Check all comments for final punctuation.
#  ??? Clean up the #-comments taken from the EVMT files (marked with "¤").
#  ??? Create <>-locators for the figures too, so that #-comments can be attached to them.
#  ??? Make sure that the 1st #-line after each <>{}-header is blank or a title.
#  ??? Normalize nomenclature "text ring", "text circle", "text band", etc.
#  ??? Normalize spacing and place of #-comments to show scope (page, unit, or line).
#  ??? Provide Petersen's numbers for the lines in <f75v.P2>.
#  ??? Put "*Title:" in front of 1st line after each <>{}-header.
#  ??? Recover Grove's numbers for all labels in f101v1 (right half of <f101v2>).
#  ??? Remove from the unit and locus titles any info dup'ed from title of parent.
#  ??? Turn the unit and entry <>{}-headers into ##-comments for the sake of vtt?
#  ??? Uniformize "BLI04" for "2004 Beinecke scans" (or "images").
#  ??? Zodiac pages: Add the o'clock position before each nymph label.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: Check the o'clock positions of labels/nymphs from <f72r3> onwards.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: give the o'clock positions of label, nymph and star separately.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: restore Petersen's "o'clock" identifications for nymph labels.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: standardize label position to be the start (middle?) of label.
#
# Documentation
# 
#  ??? Describe the file format and special conventions, e.g. <%>, line ends, etc..
#  ??? Keep only one copy of each description item, in text20e1-51.evt or desc25e1-51.txt
#  ??? Make sure all pages have Rene's page number (or not).
#  ??? Observe that one or more <*>'s (like <%>) means *any number of* unreadable glyphs.
#  ??? Tabulate and describe the major layout markers <->, {fg}, {|+|}, etc..
#
# NOT TO DO
# 
#  ??? Add H units for all non-Voynichese text.
#  ??? Consider splitting two-word labels of <f84r.N1> into separate loci.
#  ??? Consider using <-{=}> instead of <=> for parag breaks.
#  ??? Give conjectured Roman letters rather than graphic description for non-V text.
#  ??? In circular ring, put a {$} to mark the EVMT starting place?
#  ??? In herbal, split the P unit whenever there is a large gap between parags.
#  ??? Invent a notation for "possible parag break", e.g. <@>, <={?}>, <-{=?}>, etc.
#  ??? Nymph labels in biological section: either one unit per page, or one per figure.
#  ??? Renumber labels in <f75v.N1> as 1a,1b,..10a,10b instead of 1-20.
#  ??? Renumber outer labels in <f67v1> to start at 10:00.
#  ??? Split off <f85v2.Q3.10> as a separate unit?
#  ??? Split unit <f85v2.Q9> into separate units.
#  ??? Turn the comments "# There may be a parag..." into "possible parag break" marks.
#  ??? Use "<f...> {R:...}" for non-Voynichese text, rather than #-comments.
