I will work first on the Mbibliography.\r\n\r\nMy understanding of the teleconfernece session Rod and I had with Gavan is that to make it possible, or at least to facilitate, linking of the citation to Mueller's publications we need essentially a discrete item for each publication, which I assume to mean a database with each publication listed as a discrete record. \r\n\r\nWe could do a cheap and nasty database by treating the Mbibliograpy  as a tab delimited file and importing into a data base, as I have verified by importing a sample,  saved as .txt,  into Filemaker pro. That gives just two fields, the reference number and publication details. However, since I need to do a great deal of cleaning of that file, I think we can do much better, by inserting tabs in the right place to produce a tab-delimited file with the following fields:\r\n\r\n**reference number**  [I would add a B in front of this so that it matches exactly what is in the footnotes, and presumably would make your linking algorithm simpler]\r\n**Author** [Which will be Mueller or Mueller and another--in the current file no author is given unless joint, and these are coded as yy14.xx  I could omit Mueller and the second field would then become additional author, but it is easy enough to insert Mueller as the author by using an all-change command so that each record is a compete bibliographic record. I assume that the original publication upon which we built omitted Mueller as \"obvious\" and /or to save space in a printed version]\r\n**title**\r\n**publication details** [these currently omit year of publication because that is included in the code: to complete a bibliographic record in a standard form the year would need to be inserted, but I think manually, so I will rely on tye code to give the year]\r\n**notes**\r\n\r\nBefore I start on this seriously, is there anything else of which I should be aware?\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Conal-Tuohy/VMCP-upconversion/issues/comments/268472234","html_url":"https://github.com/Conal-Tuohy/VMCP-upconversion/issues/24#issuecomment-268472234","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Conal-Tuohy/VMCP-upconversion/issues/24","id":268472234,"user":{"login":"LucasHorseshoeBend","id":24544078,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/24544078?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend","html_url":"https://github.com/LucasHorseshoeBend","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LucasHorseshoeBend/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-21T09:07:01Z","updated_at":"2016-12-21T09:07:01Z","body":"The idea was to be able to link a reference given in a footnote to the corresponding entry in the bibliography, which is always of the form of a code Byy.mm.XX where XX is a running number allocated in the oprder in which we found the citations, not in date order. mm is sometimes 13, to indicate an undetermined month, and sometimes 14 to indicate a joint authorship. \r\nSo fn 3 of http://vmcp.conaltuohy.com/xtf/view?docId=tei/1850-9/1853/53-02-03-final.xml\r\ncontains references to two items that are listed in Appendix B Mueller bibliography (I can't generate a citation for that file) \r\n\r\nWhat we want to be able to do is to generate an link internal to the site to enable the reference to be decoded quickly.\r\n\r\nThe bibliography is not as standard as I would have liked, but the project inherited the  format and a published source to which we needed to preserve a correspondence. I would be surprised if it was as easy to read it in as it is, but the idea of character styling elements is very valuable, as I will need to edit the text in any case to remove infelicities and inconsistencies in the way that sources are given. I will character styling after Christmas and put a sample of  entries into a folder for you to try out linking\r\n"}}
