Subject: Re: [docbook] marking up a play
In the examples I converted from Jon Bosak, I used: <preface remap="PERSONAE"> <title remap="TITLE">Dramatis Personae</title> <para> <personname remap="PERSONA">LEAR, king of Britain </personname> </para> For stage direction, we used: <para remap="STAGEDIR">Sennet. Enter KING LEAR, CORNWALL, ALBANY, GONERIL, REGAN, CORDELIA, and Attendants</para> I'd prefer to limit the number of tags we add, unless there is a specific semantic need to do so. I could see the addition of drama, as a higher-level wrapper though... --Scott Dave Pawson wrote: > Nic Gibson wrote: > >>> personae (sp?) is a needed wrapper? >>> >>> Nothing at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/PublishersMinimalElements that >>> strikes me as clear for >>> <cast> >>> <role> >>> <name>Othello</ >>> <para> A right tart</ >>> </ >>> </ >>> >>> It is a bit 'peculiar' to a play Scott? > >> We added <direction> as a block level element and <inlinedirection> as >> an inline element.
